CPU Speed Decreases During Testing
CPU Speed Decreases During Testing
Finally, after resolving the chassis intrusion warning, I was able to overclock. But during the stress test, when under full load it reached 3800 MHZ all the way down to 1400 MHz for a short time. I'm curious if this was caused by throttling. The highest temperature reached was 59°C. Thanks for the assistance!
The maximum temperature for this CPU is 61°C, which means it's throttling. In that case, the optimal approach would be to adjust the fans higher rather than increasing the clock speed. Simply avoiding stress tests and using it for real-world tasks is recommended. Overclocking doesn't improve performance significantly, and the gains are minimal.
the maximum temperature for this cpu is 61°C, so it's throttling. In that case, the best approach would be to adjust the fans higher or take other measures to improve cooling.
What are your temperatures during stress testing at high speeds? You might need to reapply thermal paste and reattach the cooler. Extra fans could assist. Overclocking will be restricted by your motherboard, so don't anticipate much improvement. When the high temperatures occurred, did you change any voltages?

After testing, I reached 54°C and also noticed throttling even with the stock settings. I didn't adjust the voltage at all, and it was at 1.3875 v
