Technical problems with boosting performance
Technical problems with boosting performance
Recently, you increased your i5 9600k to 4.9 GHz and experienced smooth performance during the first week, including a successful Aida64 stress test. Now, at full load, it caps at 4.6 GHz even with identical BIOS settings for overclocking. Is this typical? What steps can you take?
Start HWiNFO to check performance details. At 4.6 GHz load, does it display any throttling reasons? Consider if a recent BIOS or Windows update could affect results.
You're asking about the meaning of displaying results and whether adjusting voltage could improve them. It seems you're evaluating performance under different conditions.
During a stress test in AIDA64, are any HWiNFO indications of throttling present in the Current column? This helps identify why your CPU isn’t operating at maximum capacity. If no throttling reasons appear, check your BIOS settings—there may have been a recent change affecting performance.
Access the Sensors window and continue scrolling until you reach the desired section. The HWMonitor interface doesn’t display these details, making it harder to identify the issue.
Aida64 displays no CPU throttling while HWiNFO confirms the same status.
If no throttling appears, launch CPU-Z and press the Save Report button. Paste the obtained information into a text file and share it online or attach it to your next message. This will reveal the configuration of your CPU registers. You should verify that your BIOS is initializing the CPU properly.
I fixed it. The BIOS settings were messed up, but I used another preset, and now everything works properly.
