Dip in firestrike physics test (OC)

suchamoneypit · June 8, 2016

I was having issues at 4.7ghz with thermal throttling, I stepped down voltage to solve this, but im still getting a dip in FPS that ruining my score (still much higher than stock) even though the clock rate remains the same and temps remain well within boundaries. Right now im just playing with multiplier and Vcore. Any reason why this is happening? Since temps are good Ill try upping the Vcore a bit more.

Kind of hard to tell without the graph extending for temp and freq. I'd guess LLC needs to get notched up, but without a voltage graph to go along with that hard to tell if it's from a dip/spike set on load.

weird fact, When I ran just the physics test, this happened every single time. When I ran the entire test, when it got to the physics it never happened and I got normal scores. Ran just the physics test about 8-10 times and the entire test about two dozen times, and this was true every time. Strange how it only happens when only running the physics test.

Ended up beating my personal record though, updated my signature.
