First off here are my system Specs
CPU: I7 2600k @ 4.7 ghz
-Core Voltage: 1.408
-VTT: 1.051
-PCH:1.059
-PLL:1.832
-VCCSA:.925
-BCLK:100mhz
-Multiplier: x47
- D2 stepping
MOBO: ASRock p67extreme 4.
RAM: OCZ Reaper @ 1600 mhz.
GPU: 6970 in Crossfire
PSU 1000w antec TruePower.
Monitoring systems: Asrock extreme tuner,Speedfan, CPU-Z, OCCT.
So here is my issue:
When i run OCCT the processor downclocks itself to 4.0 or 4.1 GHZ...the multiplier itself is being lowered while the voltages stay the same. Now here is the crazy thing. C1,C3,C6,EIST Speedstep and Thermal Throttling are all disabled. The temps max out at 60 degrees celsius while under 100% load using the Linpack test in OCCT and sits at 22 Degrees under idle. So what is going on here? The only thing i can think of is that the CPU is throttling itself, but i know i am well within the safety zone as far as Temps go. The only other thing i can think of is that the processor is not getting enough juice somewhere or that the problem resides on the MOBO itself.
My target overclock for this processor is at least 4.8-5 ghz. When i raise the Multi to 48 the computer will POST but it will not boot into the OS. So far the computer behaves proper at 4.6 ghz, The multiplier is stable and temps are safe. By all means 3.4 to 4.6 is a good overclock (especially when compared to my qx6700's inability to get past 3.2)but i know these D2 chips are capable of more than that while running on air.
I am brand new to overclocking on the core-i7 platform and so far i am very impressed with it but clearly i still have much to learn given my inability to trouble shoot this problem. That said i have scoured the internet (including these forums) looking for answers to my problems and have yet to find anyone else with the same issue.
Yes i have read all the overclocking guides available for sandy bridge and i am either missing something or they simply do not cover enough for me to troubleshoot my problem. That or i am just a total n00b who has no clue what he is doing lol.
Thanks in advance,
