I just bought my new computer recently and I was going to do some overclocking stuff.
Hardware:
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer
Display Card: SAPPHIRE R9 290X 8GB Vapor-X OC
CPU: AMD FX-8320
CPU Cooling: CoolerMaster SEIDON 120V plus
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR3 1866MHz
PSU: CoolerMaster GXII Pro 550W
But before I've changed anything, I've found a strange problem. My vcore is always at a voltage of around 0.86V and the CPU at around 1400MHz with ratio of 7.0 (checked by CPU-Z and HWiNFO)
I have tried to stress test it using prime95 and OCCT but the vcore nor the CPU clock increased, and in OCCT it shows that the CPU is in a negative overclocking of -60%, with the current clock being around 1400MHz and the original should be 3500MHz as it is shown.
Tried to change the power management in the BIOS and turned off all the power saving mode in it but it didn't change.
It really confused me as the performance is really poor now. It lags when I play 1080p videos on Youtube and also when I play CS:GO in a relatively low setting.
I have installed every possible drivers already.
Is my CPU defected? Or is there any settings that I missed?
