 |
|
Hey guys,
Well i ran some benchmarks and the aida64 stability test and i saw that my CPU usage drops to 0% after a couple minutes and the cpu downclocks itself to 3ghz... ( it's base is 3,4 ghz turbo 3,8ghz )
Any idea why?
CPU: amd athlon ii x4 750k

I dont see anything wrong with your overdrive figures first glance. Anyway, Overdrive only keeps the settings at boot up if you make it do that.
It sounds more like you haven't attached the heatsink properly. Using thermal paste etc?
Also 44C isn't awful at idle, depending on where you live and what your case is like. Do you have a space for a side fan mounting on your case? If so, stick a fan on there and you can really reduce system temperatures.
Other than that I'm not really sure. |

The problem is definitely not heat related. You yourself commented the temp doesn't rise much. Best not to worry someone about such things when then evidence shows otherwise.

What motherboard?
Best guess is VRM throttling. |
