OC my i5 4690k
OC my i5 4690k
I'm really new to this topic. I watched some videos and guides before trying it and I hope it worked. I went into BIOS, adjusted the settings so that the "cores are synced," set them to 44 and increased the value to 1.250 (as a guide suggested it should be sufficient), then saved and restarted. Now regarding my question: the i5 4690k originally has a turbo off at 3.9GHz. After changing some settings, it shows the turbo is now at 4.4GHz. Checking CoreTemp or similar programs indicates the core frequency is between 800 and 4400MHz. Is this now an OC or just a slight increase in turbo? I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm just typing this while on my phone. Thanks for any help!
Get CPU-Z and verify the core speed is 4400 MHz. Use HWMonitor to check temperatures. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Check CPU-Z and verify the core speed is 4400 MHz. Use HWMonitor to monitor temperatures. The link for CPU-Z is provided, and an image reference is shared. It's not consistently 4400 MHz, but it should remain stable when overclocking.
VonLidl suggests checking CPU-Z and confirming the core speed is 4400 MHz, recommending HWMonitor for temperature monitoring. The response also mentions possible power-saving settings in BIOS and asks about the motherboard model.
FromLidl:
Check CPU-Z and verify the core speed is 4400 MHz. Use HWMonitor to monitor temperatures. Refer to the links provided. It isn't consistently 4400 MHz. Likely it should maintain that speed if the system is on. It seems you might have power-saving features active in BIOS. Could you tell me what motherboard you're using?
