Hello guys,
I have an i7 4770K overclocked at 4.4Ghz (and 1.25V), and yet under 100% CPU usage AND balanced power saving mode, the frequency varies a bit, moving between 4.36Ghz and 4.4Ghz but under full power mode, this stays at 4.4Ghz.
I know it is not a big difference, but I am performing simulations that last hours and hours, so that little loss becomes quite important in the end. I have seen that when I tried to OC at 4.5Ghz it also kept moving between 4.35Ghz and 4.5Ghz.
What is the reason for this? Is there a way to correct this? I have to say that I am in adaptive mode in the BIOS using a Z87 Gryphon MB from Asus, with the turbo voltage set at 1.25V as I mentioned.
Cheers!
Matt.
