Hey guys I just need some clarification stock is 3.5ghz I changed it to 3.7ghz to test the bios settings.
I have amd turbo boost, cool and quiet and all these settings disabled.
ram is set at 1600mhz at 1.65v
cpu/nb frequency is set to 2200mhz
ht link speed is set to 2600mhz
vddnb is set to 1.25v
LLC is set to 75%
cpu voltage I got it set to 1.35v, figured it be a good base to start overclocking at.
Cpu z shows cpu voltage at 1.32v which is fine but then when I run prime small fft test the voltage drops to 1.2v even 1.18v which seems like a huge drop to me and my multiplier also fluctuates between 18.5 and 14.5 or something along those lines. It drops from 3.7ghz to 2.9ghz for a sec and it goes back and forth.
My cpu max temp under load hits 37c
I am pretty sure I have all the safety features that would throttle or try and control my voltage/multiplier turned off in bios unless I am missing something, I dont understand why this is happening. Any ideas ?
My mobo is asus m5a78l-m lx plus I know this mobo is a pos and if i cant work with it I will buy a diff one. I had this mobo laying around so I used it for this build.
