I overclocked my 4790k through the bios upgrade % by 40% its a gigabyte soc overclocking mobo and now recently even after I went into the bios and did the reset to defaults and saved many times it is still showing it at 4.36 ghz in task manager and the fan on my water cooler is super loud like unbearable loud. Please help if you know a way to fix it my cooler is an antec h2o 950

What are your cpu temps? Could just be loud because your cpu is hot in which case best course of action could be to clear cmos if you can't get it to restore to default from within bios.

how do you clear cmos?

 

[Orange_please_help_me]

and my cpu temps are reading highest being 29 degrees celcius so pretty high right, it has to be cause its still overclocked right?

 

[Orange_please_help_me]

and that was idle temp ^

No 29c idle really isn't that bad, no reason your fans should be spinning so fast at 29c.

There are several methods depending on motherboard, usually there's a small metallic battery that you can pop out with the pc off and power unplugged for a minute then replace. Sometimes there are jumpers you have to use.

Check our your motherboards manual if you can't figure it out, it should be in there.

I reset cmos my mobo actually had a button but it still says its at 4.36 maybe its the norm and i never noticed and its just my cooler fans that are faulty idk might just buy a new cooler fan setup thinking about the kraken from nzxt if you know anything about them but either way thank you izoli

No its supposed to be 3.5 base 3.9 turbo. Do you have any overclocking switches on your motherboard?

 

[Orange_please_help_me]

yea i think so but i only ever overclocked it through the bios i could hit the reset button on the mobo tho would that reset it?

 

[Orange_please_help_me]

nvm i dont have another reset button other than the cmos on my motherboard rn tho it says 04 on the display if that means it oced, should i try hitting the down button on the mobo?

 

[izoli]

04 on what display? I'm not sure..

 

[Orange_please_help_me]

it didn't do anything, its just a digital display on my mobo but i tried hitting it down and it did nothing something is keeping my cpu oced idk what it is tho

Does the bios also show 4.36ghz or just when you're on operating system?
