My cpu is i7-4790k and MoBo is Asus Z97-Pro Gamer. I ran cpu ratio at 47x multiplier with a static core voltage of 1.252v, and core ratio at 40x with a static cache voltage of 1.15v.
Everything is fine until I read somewhere on the internet that cache frequency should be within 300MHz of cpu frequency. So I increased cache ratio to 44x (both min. and max. in BIOS) with a static voltage of 1.25v.
After that the intel XTU benchmark score dropped from 1049 to 1024. I am really puzzled. Does the lower score indicate the system became less efficient? Somehow the performance dropped because of increased cache ratio?
Thanks for any input.
