the last computer i built and overclocked was 20 years ago.. still learning.
i have my cpu overclocked to 4.4ghz, it's stable and i've been using it for a few weeks.
before i settled on 44 i had it at 45, but prime 95 workers kept quitting and i didn't want to up the voltage.
now when i increase it to 45 in the bios, cpuid, and intel xtu are reporting the max as 44 and not 45. i'm just curious as to why it's not hitting 4.5ghz.
I've noticed intel xtu is showing my speed as 4.47 something, but it's still maxing out at 4.4 during stress tests and benchmarks.
asus z170-e
i5 6600k (x44, core voltage 1.3 max / adaptive voltage)
