Overclocking issues on CPU i7 7700k are occurring.
Hello Community,
yesterday I installed a Samsung EVO 960 EVO M.2 SSD and set up Windows 10 on it. I received a digital version.
Here are my PC specifications:
- 7700k
- ASUS ROG Maximus Hero IX
- ASUS ROG GTX 1070
- Corsair H100i v2
- Corsair RMX 560
- Samsung 850 EVO
- 16 GB DDR4 RAM at 3000 MHz
- Windows 10
After the Windows 10 installation, my CPU clock changed. I overclocked it to 5 GHz (4.96 GHz) and checked with CPU-Z and Task Manager, which confirmed the same speed as the BIOS (5 GHz / 4.96 GHz). Even when the CPU was only at 2 or 3% power, the clockspeed remained unchanged.
Now, with the new setup, the voltage stays the same at 1.310V, but the clock speed is increasing from 1.3 GHz to 4.5 GHz, and sometimes up to 4.96 GHz (as seen in Task Manager and CPU-Z). I’m wondering why the clockspeed is now struggling. Hope you can help me. P.S.: Sorry for my English, I’m a German guy ^^
It's DDR RAM with dual data rate. In certain applications, the displayed data rate might differ from expectations—sometimes half the expected value—such as 1500 versus 3000. That's typical.
I think you're talking about the speed step feature. It's an Intel technology that helps lower power usage when your PC isn't in use. Check your Power Options in Windows, pick high performance, and let me know if this issue persists.

However, cpu-z indicates my RAM operates at 1500 MHz, while the BIOS shows 3000 MHz—could there be some settings affecting this? As The_Staplergun noted, it's related to double data rate, which doubles the frequency. I'm glad I could assist with the speed step problem.
