Hi everyone,
I have been researching a lot and have not found an issue similar to mine. I hope you can help me out with this.
Main specs:
Mobo: MSI z170i gaming pro
CPU: i5 6600k
other:
RAM: Corsair vengeance 2x8Gb DDR4 2400MHz
Cooler: Noctua d14
GPU: Asus GTX970 Strix
PSU: Seasonic 650 W gold
Case: Fractal node 304
I am not getting a stable OC. Anything higher than stock leads to issues.
On my first attempts, I was seeing CPU clock throttling during stress tests and benchmarks. I was able to fix this by setting iccmax to 256A (instead of auto) and turbo boost powers to 200 W (also instead of auto).
With the latter issue solved, I am able to perform stress tests and benchmarks without throttling or errors with all cores working at top speed and 100% utilization (according to hwmonitor). Nonetheless (here comes the big issue):
- Benchmark results (for instance Cinebench or iXTU) are very poor, lower that stock (about half the score achieved with stock clock). I also notice poor performance in other OS software. Temperatures are always fine (below 60ºC).
This happens, for instance, with clock at 4.4 GHz and Vcore 1,28. No matter how much I increase voltage or cache clock, this always happens. I have tried enabling/disabling several parameters such as turbo/eist/c1e, setting voltage to adaptative/override and or/ setting cpu ratio mode to fixed/dynamic. What am I missing here??!
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Best,
José
