Overclocks Not Displaying Correctly.

So i overclocked my system ages ago and noticed this when i first did it but i've only just remembered to ask someone about it.

 

CPU-Z displays 2133Mhz instead of 3000Mhz (The speed of my kit)

http://prntscr.com/88glcz

http://prntscr.com/88gli3

 

GeForce Experience displays my processor at 3.3Ghz not 4.4Ghz

http://prntscr.com/88gm59

 

MSI Control Center displays the same 3.3Ghz but shows the correct ring ratio as x44. 

http://prntscr.com/88gtyp

 

I don't know why its happening and its confusing the hell out of me. OC Genie is disabled and i'm not sure if XMP is enabled or it's just set to 3200 MHz. (RAM)(3200 because only 2800 and 3200 are select-able)

What MSI CC is displaying in the upper right hand corner is the name of the CPU that Intel has chosen. You'll see the same thing in CPU-Z. Same goes for Geforce Experience.

GeForce experience displays STOCK speed not OC'd speed.

Same with MSI

So how would i see what speeds my CPU and RAM are running at?

CPU-Z displays live clocks.

The highest speed i see my CPU go at is 3099 from 1199.

In order to see your RAM frequency, go to the Memory tab. You will see the actual frequency, not your effective frequency. Are you stressing your CPU while looking at CPU-Z or at least have Windows set to High Performance?

I never used it for overclocking so i'll do that now.

I had it set to high performance on W7 but last week i OEM'd my system and reinstalled Windows 10 fresh so i have no idea where that setting is in Windows 10. Start menu isnt that much help with shit half the time anyways.

Using the search bar, type in Control Panel and open the desktop app that comes up. Once that opens, navigate to System and Security and then click on Power Options.

Ideally do the overclocking in the bios. 

 

There's much more control there than trying to use the bundled software. 

 

And learning the bios also helps with any future PC problems if it comes to that.

My BIOS is aids. Trust me. I've been through it. I changed all my OC's in the BIOS for CPU and RAM but some of the stuff that is needed is either mislabelled or missing altogether. Starting to wish i got another board when i built it.

 

Using the search bar, type in Control Panel and open the desktop app that comes up. Once that opens, navigate to System and Security and then click on Power Options.

 

Change my power settings. How do i go about stressing RAM/CPU? All i know of is AIDA64 but you need to request a trial period for that and i cant be bothered searching for a tor for it.

Don't click on the SPD tab to see memory speed, look at the "memory tab" 

 

Then take the freq and x2 and that's your actual speed.

So it looks like my latency is sky high from what it should be :(

Seems like normal latency to me for 3200 DDR4.

 

Depending on what ram kit you get I think they get as low at 3200 16-16-16-36

Turns out CPU-Z has a built in CPU stresser and my ram runs at 62% with it. 4367MHz on my CPU so it runs near enough to the x44 Ratio.

No idea how a slight OC on a 5820K beats a 5930K either but sure; http://prntscr.com/88hewf

A 5930K is a six core CPU just like the 5820K and uses the same architecture. If the 5820K is clocked higher than a 5930K, it will perform better.

Suppose. I still think i might grab a 6000 series CPU with a Z100 board. Hate this BIOS and i have these random BSODs every now and again. Yet to run the stresser but i think it's my CPU.
