My system will never run past 3600mHz (exception of core#2 which runs to 3800mHz). I have followed multiple overclocking guides and do everything they instruct. On their end, they get the results that they put in their BIOS. On my end, I get a different story. And this has nothing to do with the silicon lottery or stable or unstable overclock. My computer just literally isn't listening to what I tell it to do. I think it has something to do with the "Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0" that's pre-installed on my system. That may be an ignorant statement, but I literally can't think of anything else.
I've been doing a basic overclock just for proof of concept, and it won't cooperate. I'm simply:
1. setting my CPU ration to 39
2. boosting VCCIN voltage to 2.100
3. boosting core voltage to 1.220 (I've tried higher and lower. Doesn't change anything)
every time my system posts, windows loads just fine, I load my system monitoring software and still only 3600mHz. It seems like something is overriding my BIOS settings and doing some janky default overclock. Anyone have any clue what could be screwing this up?
my system:
Motherboard: MSI X99A Tomahawk
CPU: Intel i7-6800K (base clock 3.4 gHz) So this thing should be able to hit 3.9 EASY
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 2666
GPU: EVGA GTX1070
....I'll state more if it is necessary.
