i7 3770k Clock doesnt decrease when vcore decreases.

guitarfreaknation · Mar 12, 2013

The last few days I've noticed that my clock speed does not decrease with voltage even on stock settings. I never used fixed OC so anytime I OC I always use dvid to set offset and it all worked flawlessly (vcore decrease and so does clock speed).

Now, any setting I use doesn't decrease clock speed when the CPU is not underload and voltage is decreased. Can anyone explain this?

p.s. Im on GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H rev1.1 with F18 (latest non-beta)

Windows power settings. Board used and BIOS don't matter.

Also, enabling XMP can cause this as well.

You are wise, Sensei. :respect:

Also check the usage of the CPU. Low voltage does not mean that your CPU is not being used. Some background process(maybe a virus) might be using the CPU which prevents the CPU to go to the low frequency states..
