Does the A10 7870k experience throttling during any overclocking attempts?
Does the A10 7870k experience throttling during any overclocking attempts?
When using Prime95 or Aida64, the CPU clock never exceeds 3GHz even with minor adjustments. Temperatures stay below 60°C, and experimenting with various voltages and speeds hasn’t produced any results. Anyone know what might be causing this issue?
I see the options available. You can either update the bios, check if any Mobo CPU pins are bent, adjust the voltage to 1.40V with ram at 1333Mhz and test, or if it still works, set the clock speed to 4.0GHz and observe the changes. If it starts dropping by 0.1V until it crashes, reset to 0.1 volts and try again for some tests.
Hi, what motherboard are you using? Which program are you using to check the CPU clock? Have you adjusted any clock limits while playing around? Maybe try enabling ECO mode in BIOS.

my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-F2A78M HDD. In Task Manager it shows a clock speed of about 2.7Ghz during stress tests, and the CPU speed fluctuates between roughly 2GHz and 4GHz, then drops back to 2GHz in seconds. I reset all my motherboard settings and tried increasing the clock by 100MHz, but the same thing happens. Also, Task Manager only lists stress programs using around 50% of the CPU.

ok, i really doubt the mobile can run such a high clock speed. Do you think your RAM clock changed? I think probably not, but let me know. The stock CPU clock is 3.9 GHz, so the motherboard should handle a 100MHz boost. The RAM speed is 1600Mhz; no adjustments made there. I really don’t understand what’s happening.

if it doesn't work could indicate a problem with the motherboard.
