Current Build
i7 4790k (Currently Clocked to 4.6ghz)
Asus Z97-Pro
16gb G.Skill Tridents (currently clocked to 2400mhz)
EVGA 780 TI dual Classified (currently clocked to 1346mhz)
EVGA G2 850 Gold
Corsair Hydro 110
WD 1tb Black (ya ya i know get an SSD)
Well during gaming, here is a list of games tested.
Total war Rome II
PayDay 2
Planetside 2
I am only seeing a max of 10% usage in the cpu on any given core.... now i am not complaining i mean this thing is eating games alive.
Now normally with features like turbo/speed step things like that you will see a scale down in CPU except when using programs that are demanding then it (in my case) will jump to 4.6ghz. But even in games it will scale down with no lag or dip in FPS as if it is just sitting there waiting for something to do(now mind you not getting any skipping lags or low frames) Just seems like it should be using way more processing power. any ideas or thoughts on this?
Again there is nothing to fix here as everything is working better than expected (after flashing the bios that is a different story) but is this cpu just straight overkill?
Temps under Prime95 stress and aid 53c (less in gaming) GPU in bencmark/stress test 79c
