Different CPU clock speed by set up

[Makku293]

On my research I have found that you can change CPU clock speed with Windows Power Plan or from the BIOS. I want to know please. What is the difference between these two methods?. It's make a difference on which I change the clock speed?

You can't change it from Windows power plan

But, I did it and saw the clock speed has changed. Maybe I have a misunderstanding about it?. Can you explain me why please?.

Power management has nothing to do with clock speed. Changing to high performance might make it run at full speed more often, but CPU load and bios settings effect clock speed

Are not these two statement the same thing? "Changing to high performance might make it run at full speed more often, but CPU load and bios settings effect clock speed".

Can you give an example please?

High performance mode makes the cpu run at full speed more often (a lot of time when not needed) any other of the setting in power management slow it down more often when not needed. Both will run up to the same speeds when needed. Going into bios is the only way to actually make it run faster... (Assuming your board and CPU and CPU cooler are all 3 capable of overclocking)

So, if I want to make a difference on the performance, I must change it through the BIOS?

Yes, what CPU, motherboard and CPU cooler do you have

Shouldn't be a big deal to do a lil ocing on that setup

Can I make another question?

Thank You. Do you know if the Vcore is the voltage that the CPU has to use with between its current clock speed? If a Vcore of 1.152v is assign to it and is running at 3.5GHz, means that 3.5GHz is using those 1.152v?.
