Speedstep not doing anything! URGENT!

[r1Ns3]

PLEASE

 

PLEASE
 

WHY
 

Why is my speedstep not working :C

 

I am trying to overclock my cpu, I want adaptive voltage up to 1.3 ish volts and 4.5 GHz but cpu-z says that my voltage is constantly at 1.3 volts and 4.5 GHz AT IDLE

 

PLEASE SOME ONE HELP THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

set your power settings to balanced and it will work. (windows, system settings, power settings) high perfomance mode will run always max hz/voltage

where do I do that? btw isnt that only for laptops?

It's the same for me it's always 3.8 ghz on my 4690

It's not that big of a deal m8 don't worry

There are power settings for desktops including controls for when to turn off a HDD when idle and stuff like that

like i said, system settings > power settings > set to balanced. no its not.

It is a big deal, my idle temps are 35-40 and that can reduce lifespan

IDLE TEMPS AT 35-40 ISNT HIGH

35-40 is fine. load temps are what reduce lifespan.

HOLY SHIT YOU ARE MENTAL!!! HOW DID YOU KNOWW??

 

ITS WORKING PERFECT THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG YAYY IT WORKS THANK YOU THANK YOU SPENT THE WHOLE OF TODAY TRYING TO FIX OMG!!!

[Minsekt]

no problem mate, lol.

[r1Ns3]

IDLE TEMPS AT 35-40 ISNT HIGH

its high for me

 

yeaik you are right but im overly sensetive, i need this thing to last for like 6 years lol

[comefightme]

It will definitely last more than 6 years at freaking 40C so don't worry

This is typed out as a death plea...

 

 

anyways, heres what I found. I never use SpeedStep.

Did you check that speed step is turned on in your BIOS?

Someone figured it out! It was to do with the power saving features in windows 10, you have to set it to balanced.

 

Then the voltages will regulate themselves and speedstep will start working if you have it enabled!

Lol thats pretty basic mate, having your power plan at high performance specifically says in it that processor minimum state is something like 95 or 100%

>Currently Summer

>35 idle

Yeah if you're worried about that you need to start looking at phase change or something
