Hello, can someone help me, I have an i5 4690k and an h97 gaming 3 and the processor does not reach 3.90mhz, the maximum it reaches is 3.70, I would like to know how I have to make it work at 3.90mhz
I tried to overclock but they told me that on h97 boards you can't just z97 and I want to know if it's true and if I could overclock over 4.0 mhz.Are you trying to overclock?
if you're trying to over clock download intel extreme tuning utility

That is the maximum speed when a single core is active. As more cores become active, the maximum CPU speed decreases.processor does not reach 3.90 GHz
That sounds like the correct speed when all 4 cores are active during a stress test. You need a Z series motherboard if you want to run all cores at 3.90 GHz or faster.the maximum it reaches is 3.70 GHz
How do I do it? Are there risks?On intel it says your motherboard supports the turbo boost of 3.90

look under the compatibility and the chip set supports it.
i would go over intel's overclocking of 3.90Ghz
I'm going to see if the c states are active and I'll tell you. What stress test do you recommend I do?That is the maximum speed when a single core is active. As more cores become active, the maximum CPU speed decreases.

Edit - The C States need to be enabled in the BIOS if you want your CPU to use the higher multipliers when it is lightly loaded.
When I play I get that the speed is 3700 and very rarely it goes up to 3900 and goes down again and another question is if I do an oc more frequently will there be a difference?Some more information is necessary, really. When you say it's boosting only to 3.7 GHz instead of 3.9 GHz, how many cores is that? It's a really big difference; it that's all cores, it's likely performing as needed to, but if it's only getting to 3.7 GHz on a single-core test, then something isn't going exactly as planned.
Though in any case, note that we're not talking huge performance differences here. If you're suffering performance limitations at 3.7 GHz, you probably will at 3.9 GHz here; the age of the parts is far more crucial than 200 MHz one way or the other.
So it does get up to 3.90 sometimes?When I play I get that the speed is 3700 and very rarely it goes up to 3900 and goes down again and another question is if I do an oc more frequently will there be a difference?
That is normal.yes but very rarely
An H97 motherboard does not support any overclocking. Your CPU is already running as good as it gets. Buying a Z series motherboard so you can overclock a 10 year old CPU a few hundred MHz is not going to be money well spent.if I do an oc
