The Build:
CPU - AMD FX-6300
Video - Diamond 7870 2gb
OS - Windows 7
MB - ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
HD - Seagate 1TB
Memory - GSkill Ripjaw 4Gb x 4 (16Gb) @ 1600
Power - SeaSonic 560w
Case & Cooling - Corsair 540 Air, 3 140mm corsair, 3 noctua 120mm, one 230mm spectra.
Let me start by saying my temps are not the issue. Idle I sit around 29-31°C and 47°C (Unclocked) / 52°C (Overclocked to 4.2Ghz) under load.
The problem: I am using AI Suite to overclock while in windows just using multiplier and voltage increase. I have tried numerous different settings (voltage & multiplier) trying to get this clock to work successfully.
When I apply any type of overclock, be it 100Mhz or 1Ghz my system dramatically loses frame rate. Normally while playing BF4 on Ultra I have 60fps with zero issues. My GPU will run at 90-98% and CPU will run all cores about 60%, but after any type of overclock the GPU only runs at 40-50% and the CPU almost maxes. Ive tried multiple voltages, BIOS settings, HPC off and on, windows hot fixes and still nothing changes.
The question: Why is it that as soon as I up my CPU the smallest fraction does my GPU no longer take priority (for lack of a better word)? I can have BF4 open in windowed mode and watch as I apply any increase and my frames instantly drop.
If I am forgetting any information please ask me.
