Overclocking Issues

LexenZ · October 9, 2018

Hi Pros of Linustechtips forum,

I have just realized today that my overclocking settings were not correct as to what I have set previously (@4.3ghz running all the time).

However, my task manager is now showing 3.8Ghz at max with high performance turned on as shown below.

I have adjusted the settings in my bios with manual overclocking.

My settings are as of below:

Core Ratio = 4,3 GHz (all synced)
CPU Strap = 100 MHz
BLCK Frequency = 100
AXV offset = 2
Min. CPU cache ratio = 35
Max. CPU cache ratio = 35
CPU Load-line Calibration = Level 7
Long duration package power limit = 4095
short duration package power limit = 4095
CPU core voltage = 1.354.
CPU cache voltage = 1.32
CPU input voltage = 1.8

Some strange symptoms to take note:

1) The watermark with the overclock stating % levels was gone

2) I switched back to normal and high performance mode under power settings, the normal mode did drop back to low frequencies but the high performance mode continued to stayed at 3.8Ghz

3)My RAM are overclocked to 2800Mhz which is perfectly fine with no issues.

May I know what I did wrong to have the frequency dropped from 4.3 to 3.8? :(
