So I have an Intel I7-7700k on a Corsair aio, and it is overclocked to 5.3 ghz with a max power of 1.6 volts, and a cache ratio of 5.4 ghz. Every time I run a CPU stress test with Intel XTU, the utilization and heat goes up, but the speed stays at a contant 3.6 ghz. why is that? It is not thermal throttling.

 

Thanks.

Surely to god you aren't actually trying to apply those settings, right? 1.6v could probably kill a chip on bootup if you're really unlucky. Stop right where you are sir, please lower that voltage lmao. I wouldn't go over 1.4v unless your chip is delidded anyways.

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

probably already damaged the chip... if not visible maybe sensors already got damaged
