Hi there,
I have an i5-4690k installed in my computer and I've overclocked it to 4.2GHz in the BIOS (ASRock Z97 Anniversary).
The thing is, this frequency isn't actually reached; It only shows me a range of 4.1 - 4.15 GHz in Windows 10 Task Manager. I have looked in OpenHardwareMonitor and seen the same results.
I've seen people overclock thier CPUs and get successful results (Hitting the desired frequency, such as 5GHz in BIOS and 5GHz shown in Task Manager), but this just isn't the case with me.
I know 0.1 - 0.05GHz is not going to be much of a noticeable difference in performance but surely the clock speed should not change if CPU Fixed Mode is enabled in the BIOS, right?
Could this be something along the lines of too little voltage? If so/if not, please inform me.
Thanks
