    Question 10700K All Cores @ 4700Mhz All the time

    Correction.. The cores sit mostly at 4.9 but with more occasional dips to 800Mhz or 1200Mhz.. It should be exactly inverted.. sitting on low frequencies with normal occasional peaks when Idle.. So the issue still exists although less pronounced..

    Already checked power plan: it's in Balanced Mode And yes, another issue wit all cores always at 4.7 is that when one single core is needed to boost, or 2, it won't go higher as those 4.7 when it should be going 1core boost to 5.1 or up to 3 cores at 4.9 and so on. I tried to check the Bios, but...

    News Buy Your Power Supply Now, While Prices Are Still Acceptable

    I would say there is another detail to be taken into account, if you are also planning on buying an Ampere GPU.

    [SOLVED] Buzzing Noise from PC after 3 Hours

    AIO pump is not easily fixable.. If it is indeed the issue, you need a new cooler alltogether. If you have the chance, test first with an alternative cooler to check if the sound indeed comes from there.

    [SOLVED] Buzzing Noise from PC after 3 Hours

    By your description, if none of the fans where the issue, I initially though it could be coil whine. but in the video that does not sound like coil whine. My guess also goes to the pump.
