Hello, im having an issue with my fx 6300 on a gigabyte 78mlt-usb 3 rev 5.0 mb, i know its not a overclocking mb but i had no issues in the past but now its different, im noticing vcore throttling on my cpu when temps are perfectly fine? Im trying to run a safer 4.5ghz, i set vcore to 1.45 in bios which gives me 1.39/1.404 under full load, this is with LLC enabled, so again not an overclocking board :) After about 20 minutes in hwinfo and cpuz my minimum vcore drops way down to 1.118/1.23 at times, but i dont know why, all cores are at 100% cpu core temp is around 43/44 degrees, mb temp is 27. There is also 2 cpu temps in hwinfo 1 is cpu 0 which i believe is core temp and then cpu,
cpu 0 is around 44 and cpu is around 38, i have also set a warning in bios if cpu socket goes over 70 degrees which it never does, any idea whats causing the trottling? It cant be temps right? Is the chip damaged?

non really, have been doing it a while and had it at 4.8ghz for few months, i use prime 95 small ffts to test, when at 4.8 i was stable in prime 95 for 3 hours so though that was enough as i only play games, but recently i had to fix my water cooler which i did, and i ran prime 95 just to test temps this is when i noticed the vcore dropping so low which it didnt do before, so i stepped it down to 4.5 but im having the same problems with the vcore dropping very low, throttling i believe, i just dont know why as the temps seem fine. Im using bios to overclock, im just using multiplier and adjusting vcore appropriately, nb bridge voltage i left stock, nb/ht frequency stock, worked for me before. I think either mb or cpu is the issue as all voltages seem fine in hwinfo to rule out psu. why would vcore dropp so low when temps are fine?
