I am overclocking my fx 8320 to 4.2GHz at 1.375 Volts. When I run it through a Small FFT test in prime95 WITHOUT power saving BIOS features, it hits 4.2GHz through the test and remains under the thermal limit. When I run Small FFT test WITH power saving features, the multiplier changes from 21 to 14.5 during the test. Is this working as intended to save power?
Interestingly, when I enable HPC mode along with power saving features, I can hit full clock speed during a prime95 stress test. Why is this?
