I own an Asrock Z97 Anniversary Motherboard paired with an i7 4790k that runs smoothly at 4.8. I anticipate minor changes in the bus clock speed, ranging from 100 to 137.6 MHz, which feels a bit high. This hasn’t occurred before, so I’m unsure if it’s a coincidence or a problem with my board. Could this be an HWiNFO misinterpretation? Did I accidentally break the OC record at 1.32V using an Evo 212 while keeping it under 68°C? Anyone have experienced similar issues? Thanks ahead!
99.98, The 137.6 might have been a misinterpretation or a brief anomaly. Likely a software or hardware glitch. Fingers crossed for a fix!
I notice AMD tends to favor bus clock speed adjustments more often than Intel, though this is based on personal observations. Could you share your RAM and PCIe speeds?
Did you consistently receive spikes like this? Could a slight increase in voltage help prevent them? Perhaps adjusting the core by .005 would make a difference. I currently set my PSU at 1.31 with adaptive control, which results in an extra .01 when needed. I also have a 10-year-old PSU that’s being replaced soon. Was there any chance voltage played a role in this situation? Thanks for your assistance—I’m still learning about the details of hardware and electrical behavior. (I’m aware there’s some discussion around overclocking and adaptive voltage, but I really enjoy saving power when it isn’t necessary. My machine stays on 24/7, connected to my phone all day, and a 21°C to 25°C idle temperature while drawing just .7 volts is quite impressive.)
