Dynamic OC (Turbo boost enabled or disabled? )

Well if it doesn't crash keep them on.

It's normal that the pc goes from idle to high clocks every 4 or 5 seconds?
It doesn't stay idle for that much it's always going from 1600 to 4500.

here is a pic that shows 4499 and CPU-Z shows 1599 which one should be the right one?

I have those off because it caused crashing when waking the PC up.

You use sleep on your machine? :fear:

I've never been a fan of it, it isn't usually handled very well...
Not to derail the thread.
I would look at the clock speeds in BIOS, they're going to be your only true tell. I have also found that open hardware monitor works well for live CPU speeds. openhardwaremonitor.org

I have one more question , in the bios panel there are 3 options:
High performance, power save and balance, so running a dynamic overclock which one should be set?
 
EarthDog said:
Balance...

(There is something said for trying things yourself :))
Click to expand...
So balance, that's mean that I shouldn't use the samsung power plan which is high performance?
 
Most balanced plans will try to conserve power but not at the cost of performance. Power saver will try to save power at all costs. High performance will disable most if not all power saving features and really should never be used. Any one who would have applications that would require these to be disabled will know what they're doing anyway.

I agree with EarthDog, I have always used Balanced and tweaked settings myself.

Once again the same question, why Real temp shows 4.5GHz all the time and aida64 shows something else?
Click to expand...

somethings just go, base clock is a and max multi is b so your speed is x ignoring the fact that any power saving things exist or could be effecting the equation at all.

the c states and eist and things also on for normal use as they all effect the amount of power saved and while i like my pc to be fast i also like not giving my power company an arm and leg each month.

some boards you need to turn off the "turbo" and others you need it on. no 1 rule for that you just need to find out what works best for your mobo.

that is right, and i know that i have to find out what works best for me, i would like to try to disable turbo boos but MxPhenom 216 said: I wouldn't even mess with it. Leave turbo boost on.
and thats why i am confused, i dont know what could happens if i disable it.

one says one thing, another says another thing
 
Try it yourself, the worst thing that could happen is that your machine doesn't boot, then just flash the CMOS and start over.

Or if you have dual BIOS it may failover to defaults automatically, or you might have to flick a switch on the motherboard to change to the good BIOS, or it may reboot and automatically load "optimized defaults."

No matter what you do, you're going to be fine. These things are designed to protect themselves.
 
Did you read any guides by chance? You have to vet an idea of what you are doing...

A lot of overclocking is trial and error... Not right or wrong. :)

I disabled turbo boost and the chip gets locked to 3.5Ghz so turbo boost must be enabled + i found the problem that was keeping the cpu at 4.5 all the time, was the Samsung power plan that i had it at maximum performance :banghead:
 
After one problem solved come a new one.

As I wrote above I noticed that my cpu was running at 4.5ghz and never went idle, but today I found why, and was the samsung plan Mode in high performance, what I did was to switch to balance plan and here started the problem, I am not able to play titanfall or call of duty if the high performance is not on, can someone tell why is this happening?

The game start but just in background I click the icon but get back in background and when I close it and restart the pc the pc crash
 
Do you blue screen? What's the code?
What does the event log say?
you say Samsung power management... What is that? We were talking Windows power management? Sounds like an extra layer of software to me?

I'm wondering if it's just not stable as well.

yes i got blue screen,
here is what i mean by Samsung plan, its just happend when i switch to Balance plan, but if i use maximum performance it doesnt happens

That's for your SSD boss, not the power plan for Windows...
Click to expand...
But if you notice you can choose samsung high performance in windows power plans and that plan makes the ssd run constantly at full speed If that was just for the ssd it shouldn't affect the cpu speed clocks allowing the cpu run at idle but it doesn't

The software creates it's own power plan in the windows settings and DOES effect things.

Personly i hate the software it's only good for a firmware update in my opinion.
 
Seems like Samsung's grubby little fingers inserted itself in the Windows power plan... Bleh. Problem now is what is the culprit? Is it the SSD or the cpu that is the problem? I'd try with no overclock and switch the power plan to balance. If it stops, then it's the cpu. If it continues then it's something else giving fits.

Or lerhpas uninstall the Samsung software...

I do recall some ssds having trouble waking too...maybe that is what is going in here.

I already set up the pc to defaulted setting and switched the power plan to balance but I got bluescreen, I uninstalled the samsung software switched to balance plan once again and cpu overclocked and so far I haven't got a bluescreen,
 
All that means if someone wants to run a dynamic overclock without any issues, have to keep away from samsung software
 
Magician is snotty as hell. Upon rebooting I wait for it to do it's thing(load it's settings) and then exit.
I have turbo boost disabled running a constant oc so I can't vouch for it interfering there but, Also if it is enabled and you have ever tried down sampling a game (2560 on 1920) it will crash your game as soon as it tries to load every time. Shut down the Magician app and no problem at all.
Not only does it seem to embed itself in the power profile, it for some reason monitors resolutions as well. I have gotten "You current resolution is not supported by the Magician" warnings from just plugging my 1080i t.v. into my Hdmi port on my card.

Been honest I never had Any kind of issues with my SSD, everything has started Yesterday after I switched from samsung high performance to balance mode, the SSD does the job, but unfortunately keep the CPU constantly running at 4.5ghz, If I wanted run a static overclock Then I would have left so, but I am running a dynamic overclock.
