So I need some help from Toms hardware who always have exceed my expections in good answers.
I overclocked my CPU to 4.2 without any voltage change and it works fine as far as I can see, but when I stress test it with prime95 it always go to multiplier 3.8 without any high temps or voltage.. same with aida when i stress test it with everything, FPU, ram, system memory, but when i test it with only cpu and gpu it never underclocks. whats wrong here? but when i stress test gpu and cpu it like hangs itself in aida every 3 seconds and all temp, voltage, multiplier text dissappears, i dont think this has something to do with it though..
I am worried that my overclock is not stabile, even though it feels like it is since i tell myself that ive got improvements in games.. like in borderlands 2 I get some drops down to high 30s and mid 40s time to time, not often but it happens. Is this normal?
under gpu and cpu stress test: first pic
under all components under stress: second pic
and third idle.
is this normal? how can i check if my overclock is stable? is 3d mark 11 reliable? maybe i can compare to others? what ive seen in games there are no sign of underclocking. I got performance issues in the hugely CPU heavy Guild Wars 2 also, which is normal (I THINK) for i5 but i don't know. Benchmarks of borderlands 2 shows a minimum of 37 fps on gtx 680, don't know if that's true since other people seems to get steady 60 all the time.
