what's going on here? even when i set the bios to 44 all cores cpu-z kept showing 3.5GHz and 799MHz per core

I'm quite sure you haven't turned off the power saving features thats why its throttling down, I'm not sure what they are called in haswell but it should be something like c1e.

Edit: oh and that 3.5ghz will remain there as thats the name of the processor IIRC.

where can i find the power saving option? and its not only the 3.5GHz in cpu-z but even in the ai suite as soon as as hit back it goes back to 800GHz per core

Yes yes when it is in power saving it runs the cores at very low frequencies to use less power, it is a bios option so all application will show the same thing.

Now I can't tell you where the feature is, I'm on a completely different platform so the bios (uefi in your case) will be different than mine, using google is the least you can do at this point, I already pointed you in the right direction.

You want to find the Intel SpeedStep setting in your BIOS and disable it. That'll keep the CPU at 4.4GHz in your case all the time.

I'd leave it on if I were you, the CPU goes into a lower power mode when idle, which is always welcome.

Your motherboards manual is here:

See page 110, if you can't find the setting.

i checked everywhere on the BIOS and i couldnt find any intel speedstep, the settings i put for overclocking in my bios was still there and not gone to default though

Try running the system under load with OCCT and then it should go up to 4.4GHz.

If you look at the rance for the multiplyer it's saying that the chip will go up to 4.4GHz, you just need to stress it so it will?

Another thing, did you set the cpu volts manually or are they still on auto?

[Harishanim]

its on auto, i tried linu's overclocking guide



it's the same set up as mine except i have 2 780tis and corsair vengeance 8gb ram, which can go upto 1333MHz but always stays at 600MHz

If that's the memory speed that is reported in CPUZ, double it to get the actual speed it's running at.

Have you tried stressing the CPU yet to if the clock speed jumps up?

huhhhh.. what's going on here?
