I switched from genie mode to standard mode in my bios settings, and now the thermal margin updates in real time. When in genie mode, (which basically means it will overclock when it finds it necessary) the thermal margin didn't change at all, but the MHz was consistently at 3825~ MHz.
With that, I saw that my computer is running slightly slower than usual, and "hiccuping" more often.
At idle, the cpu is running at 800MHz, but when it hiccups or opens up a program, or even when I alt+tab between this window and AOD (AMD OverDrive), it shoots up to it's target MHz of ~3400MHz
Suggestions?
MOBO is MSI G70a
Edit: I'm wondering if prior overheating could have damaged the processor.
- Also, when the computer "hiccups" overdrive reveals that my cpu is at 100% usage, and the thermal margin gets below 20C
I am not worried about the temperatures though, I am most worried as to why it "stalls" / "hiccups" so much
