i7 2600k overclocking issue

kaiel · Jul 27, 2011

Recently got a new rig and wanted to do a modest OC of the i7 2600k, in bios i set the multiplier to 40 (4.0ghz) disabled c1, c3/c6, EIST, turboboost. I basically want the cpu running at a static 4.0ghz.

PC passed Prime just fine, only odd issue is when the PC goes to sleep, and wakes up, the CPU multiplier drops to 35 regardless of a 40 or 42 multiplier in bios and stays there until a reboot

What am I missing?

If you put the PC under load again, does it pop back up from 35 to 40/42 or stick at 3500mhz constant?

Under load it stays at 35

I have the same problem stated here
Gigabyte gave me a short BS run around answer..."overclock is not guaranteed"
Why don't you submit a ticket complaint....with enough complaints pounding, hopefully they would fix it with the next bios update.

EDIT:
Gigabyte's lastest F8 Bios update has FIXED the sleep mode problem.

It's now functions normally. Turbo clock multiplier resumes as intended set in bios originally.
