Are the last two cores at 860K running without overclocking?
Are the last two cores at 860K running without overclocking?
I increased my system's speed using BIOS settings but every restart causes the final two cores to slow down again. I've reset the BIOS and tried other adjustments, yet the issue persists. I'm uncertain about the reason, but any advice would be appreciated.
Re-enable cool & quiet, turn off APM (this setting will attempt to keep the chips at 95W DPT, which may cause a drop in voltage/clocks for the other two cores)
Alternatively
Attempt this (uncertain on FM2 chipsets but possible)

Retry prime
Under heavy load, check if the clocks increase. Also, turn on cool and quiet settings—they’re not needed for disabling, just to prevent overinflation at low loads. What’s the motherboard model?
They remain fixed at 1697MHz during prime time, with only the initial two cores reaching their peak performance of 4.3ghz.
To ensure all cores share the same clock speed, I must enable AMD overdrive, adjust the clock multiplier, and save the changes.
I had to reinstall AMD OVERDRIVE each time I restart my PC for this purpose.

That's unusual, C&Q is meant to activate only under less than 30% loads.
No matter, I've never encountered a solid justification to turn it off for overclocking – I really don't understand why so many overclocking instructions suggest doing so!
