I simply changed the multiplier on my 8350 to 21, which equals 4200mhz. Turbo is on, and I set Cool n' Quiet to "Disabled by CPU", and left everything else default. The processor never goes above 52C still, but programs arn't registering my changes?
When I had all of my bios to defualt, the CPU would run 4.01 or 4.04 in task manager. CPUZ and HWinfo showed all 8 cores at 4113mhz ingame, with leaps to 4214mhz out of game. all cores varied between these two.
Now with the 21x multiplier, (should be easy for my M5a99FX Pro to handle) Task manager shows my CPU at 4.09ghz all the time, but my CPU-Z and HWMonitor show the same exact values they did before: 4113mhz. CPU-Z varys 4113 to 4214, but the multiplier states 20.5 (7-21) a majority of the time, with spikes to 21x multi.
Is this a side effect of my CPU's turbo mode, or is software simply not reading it correctly? In my bios, it recognizes my 4200mhz, but in nothing else can it be seen
I think its very odd and would like an answer to why and how I can read my specs in windows. The stock cooler seems a bit louder, but programs so far show me I'm maintaining the same temps?
P.S., I'm NOT going for major overclock, just something to keep it at 4.2ghz so I don't need to rely on Turbo, and to raise my minimum FPS a bit.
P.S.S. My bios are 1708, my Chipset is up to date, and any other specs I have are in my signature.
