Hey, guys. I'm new here.
I have an i7 4770 and an ASUS H81M-A board. I live in Brazil. Please don't tell me to just buy new stuff.
I wanted to squeeze every single bit of performance possible out of my rig as I won't be able to upgrade so soon, so I looked into ways of doing it. I read about the old Haswell All-Core Turbo lock trick, and did it successfully. Dowgraded my BIOS and my MicroCode using AFUDOS and UBUTool. Everything shows up correctly, but I'm having a big problem.
When gaming, my CPU will almost randomly drop from the "overclocked" 3.9Ghz to the base 3.4Ghz, and I'll get stutter in whatever game I'm trying to play.
I thought to myself "ok, maybe it's running too hot", but It's pretty hot here and I'm using an aftermarket cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 412R) and the temps don't usually go past 75-80º, so I figured it might be power throttling. I ventured into my BIOS and changed power settings, went back into Windows and it seemed to be working. Static 3.9Ghz. I then tried playing some games, and to my surprise, the clocks now drop all the way down to 800Mhz.
I'm clueless. Can someone help?
