overclock CPU problem

[Thundrax]

Hello,

I already overclocked my CPU which is i5 4690k. OCed to 4.4ghz of 1.271v. While playing game I tried open my CPU-z while my game is running and I only see 3.8ghz so it's like there is a problem which is I don't know. I already search this on the other thread but can't find it seems like this issue is not quite common.

This image explain. Please let me know how would I fix this to use the full potential of my CPU. Thanks in advance guys.

Well it looks like your multiplier is 39 not 44.
Just go to the BIOS and double check.

Does this work fine when I change multiplier to 44? but I will try it. Thanks!

Bump! Please guys give some more info.

Couple of different ways to overclock. Changing the boost multiplier is one of them. You can also set a fixed frequency.

When using the modified multiplier, if you want to see your CPU running at full speed on the desktop, you will have to go to power options and set the computer to maximum performance mode. Otherwise it will throttle back down. If you run a benchmark or something while you have CPU-Z open it should still go up to what you set it to.

Does what work fine?
At 44 multiplier it will be 4.4GHz, and that will be fine if that's what it was before.
Run stress tests like Prime 95 for an hour or more to check stability.

Did you verify that your multiplier was at 44 in BIOS?

So strange! The thing is it was already OCed before and checking CPU-Z before it was fine but In few days I checked again and it came out like this I don't know if I did something wrong or what. I'm gonna try this tomorrow set the multiplier higher. If not I let you know.

Update: I did set the multiplier to 44 but it came out same thing the one I posted above. How come it is like this? I didn't change anything. Please help guys!

Do you have EIST (Speedstepping) enabled? What power mode is windows set to? Balanced or Performance?

To be precise with the settings in BIOS, I followed this step cuz we have same specs but I set mine to 44hz. Spread spectrum and Speedstepping is disabled and I set power mode to High performance. still this issue exist

I not real sure how Turbo interacts with a manual OC in this BIOS. I turn Turbo off. May be worth giving that a try.

update: unfortunately still not working. I tried searching other forums but seem's this issue is not common. I don't know why but I haven't change anything on the PC settings or whatsoever. Feels bad! anyone know anything how to fix this please leave a comment.
