How to stop Overclocking
How to stop Overclocking
I completed my PC build which includes:
Intel i7 4790k at 4.0ghz
Hyper 212 Evo cooler
Gigabyte z97x Gaming 5 board
G.skills Ripjaw DDR3 memory
I installed Gigabytes App Centre and noticed the board is running at 4.40ghz, which I don’t understand since I haven’t enabled overclocking and the i7 chip is set to 4.0ghz. I don’t want it to be overclocked. I attached a screenshot and wondered if anyone has experience with Gigabyte and how to stop this.
Also, off topic but I’ve read that you need to enter the correct memory speeds – does that really matter since it seems to be working and Windows is recognizing it?
The i7 4790k is designed to reach a turbo boost of 4.4Ghz. This figure is included in the specifications. Exceeding 4.4Ghz would be considered overclocking the CPU.
It's important to verify the current RAM speed, as you might need to choose the appropriate XMP profile to operate at the rated speed.
the chip is working properly and not being overclocked. i've enabled xmp profile 1, which is the only setting available.
The chip is working properly and not overclocked. I've enabled the XMP profile 1, which is the only available option. The spec for this CPU supports it, as shown in the link provided.
Hello, I’m seeking assistance in preventing my processor from automatically overclocking.
My system setup includes:
AMD FX 6300 at 3.5GHZ
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 with USB 3.0
KINGSTON HYPERX FURRY DDR3 8GBX2 1866 MHZ
AMD RADEON HD 7700 1GB DDR5
Stock cooler for AMD FX
27 LED monitor
5 years old 400W SMPS
The issue is that my processor starts overclocking from 3.5 to 4GHz whenever I use my HyperX RAMs.
I’ve set up a custom event to investigate the problem, and I’ve identified three main errors:
1) Event Id 7026 – Boot or system-start drivers failed to load.
2) Event Id 41 – Kernel Power detected a reboot without a clean shutdown. This might happen if the system froze, crashed, or lost power suddenly.
3) Event ID 11 – The driver reported a controller error on \Device\Harddisk2\DR2.
Possible causes include an old SMPS or other hardware issues. I’ve installed 4GB RAM at 1333MHz, and the system runs smoothly, but the CPU still overclocks automatically.
I’ve cleared the BIOS, reset the CMOS, and tried everything else.
