Hello,
I'm running a 4670k on an Asrock Fatal1ty Killer board. I'm running the stock cooler because I haven't been overclocking but I decided today to invest in an 212 EVO and overclock it a little - yes, I'm behind the times.
So, still running stock cooler, I went into the F-Stream utility and ran the auto tune feature to see what it would say and it ramped the clock speed up from 3.4Ghz to 4.3Ghz. I checked that in OCCT and it also shows that clock as well. Still on stock cooler so I put it back on the standard power mode and the clock drops down to the normal underclock of 800 Mhz or so...so that's good. I ran a bench test on OCCT though, still on standard power mode according to F-Stream, and it ramped right back up to 4.3Ghz and within less than a minute stopped it because temps were too high for the stock cooler to manage.
So...now I'm confused. If F-Stream utility isn't telling it to overclock then why is the OCCT benchtest able to get so high? Shouldn't it cap out at 3.4Ghz or is the K chip always going to boost up to its maximum even if I'm not actually setting up an overclock? I'm worried I've unlocked something somewhere and that the clocks are going to ramp up while I'm gaming and burn something up before I can get a decent cooler on this thing.
I have looked online for a way to to disable the auto overclock in the F-Stream utility but it appears that putting the operation mode back to Standard mode from Performance mode should have done it, but it hasn't.
EDIT: I rebooted, ran the OCCT benchmark again and this time it only ramped up to 3.8Ghz (which I think it would boost to anyway, even before I messed with the overclock feature) so here's hoping its back to normal.
