Hey,
Perhaps this is all because I haven't overclocked anything since my FX8350 about three years ago, or maybe I just don't understand a modern and actually functional BIOS, but I seem to be unable to figure out how to get my 1600 to do what I want, which is dynamically adjust frequency based on load even while running an overclock. I know I could do this with my FX8350 (because I did it). I currently have my 1600 running at 3.8 Ghz, 1.3V. I used manual voltage control and intend to switch to offset though so it can adjust voltage based on load. But what is the point of that if the frequency is constantly locked in at 3.8? I don't feel that I need 3.8 Ghz to use google chrome, but want it when a 40+ layer photoshop document has to export.
