I've been messing around with my i7 and overclocking it, I've had it at 3.8 ghz for a few years now and just taking it up to 4.0

Anyways I've got a slight issue in the bios and according to cpuiz im at 4.0 ghz but the windows 8.1 performance tab is saying im at 2.76 ghz the temps are around 75 max right now And the 2.7 never changes even when launching a intensive program like bf4.

Intel speedstep is turned off in bios, power settings are set to performance





heres some photos of what I'm dealing with.

Its strange, its most likely a bug. Don't worry about it. as long as your performance has improved....

have you tested your OC with prime95? your vcore seems kinda high

yeah I've been running prime95 for about 2 1/2 hours as or right now, max temps hit 80c which is warm, but I couldnt get a stable system with anything less, and I'm not the best with overclocking. in the bios its setup to 1.4 but cpuid is reading 1.47
