I have tried several times to overclock my CPU, I have an AMD FX 6300 stock 3.5Ghz and a M5a97 LE R2.0 Motherboard and a hyper 212 plus CPU cooler, Rosewill 650 watt bronze certified( i think)
My problem is that when i play resource-intensive games like BF3 or do stress-testing with Prime95, the CPU multiplier and voltage decreases significantly
It usually drops from 21.5 Multiplier to 7 Multiplier (from 4.3Ghz to 1.4Ghz)
When it's idle it usually stays at 4.3 GHz
From my knowledge i have turned off cool and quiet and all power saving functions in my BIOS and i have set my P.C to High performance and toggled the min and max CPU power to 100%
in CPU-Z in the multiplier tab it says: X 21.5 (7 - 21.5)
why is there a range of 7-21.5????
is this normal, because it would make sense why it drops to X7?
I updates my BIOS to the newest version and i can't think of any other solution to this problem where it drops from whatever my overclock is to x7 or 1.4Ghz
only time it dosen't happen is if i dont play with the voltage or at a low over clock like 3.8Ghz
any help would be appreciated
