So, i got my i7 2600K and started to do some OCing. I am using 1.50 bios i noticed few strange things:
1) when i OC with manual settings, i disable all power saving options, speedstep is enabled, and i put max CPU current to 300. When i boot at 4.4Ghz to windows the set voltage is 1.35V (AIDA displaying). When i run Prime95 CPU downclocks to 3.8Ghz! Also here, under idle looks like speedstep isn't working at all,whole time CPU is on 4.4Ghz.
2) If i use OC profile Turbo 4.4Ghz, put manual voltage of 1.35V and i run Windows to do some tests with Prime95 now CPU downvolt the vCore to 1.240V from 1.35V under 100% load, and i get BSOD. Why does it downvolt? Also, speedstep is not working here when CPU is at 4.4GHz and at idle even tho it's enabled.
