Gigabyte MBO owners. Got a question for you.

[BruceUSA]

I am using Gigabyte X399 MBO TR4 with 1950X. I overclocked 4ghz with a manual VCORE of 1.35v. When I looking at the CPU-Z the core speed show around 2195 ghz when the cpu is idling and hit 4ghz when the cpu is loading. But I don't want that. I want to run 4ghz full time from idle. I don't see a way of doing it. On my other computer, I used ASUS MBO. I run 4.5ghz full time at a manual vcore voltage at 1.328v. I am having the option to run offset voltage. But I chose manual voltage.

Gigabyte mbo seem to be operate on offset core speed?? Can some one tell me, how can I run 4ghz at all time regardless of cpu load.

Disable power saving options in BIOS ( C states and some other ) or/and set performance mode in power options in Windows.

well, I just double check in Windows, its already set to high performance mode in power options. I also looking at the bios, I don't see or find anything about C states so that I can disable them. But I can 't find in the bios. That is why I ask gigabyte mbo owners to help me out. perhaps a screen shot of where it is under. Gigabyte mbo is new to me and is different as I used to with ASUS mbo.

Sounds like power saving setting are one.
Disable c state and speed step in the bios and disable powering saving in windows.

go into power options/ advanced power options/ minimum power state and set it to 100% should get it done.

 

[WhitehawkEQ]

OK, disable AMD Cool & Quiet, next disable Global C-State Control and "maybe" disable Core Performance Boost

Whitehawk and every one, thank you for the help. I am away from the computer right now. I will give it another try per your suggestion.



PS. Big thanks to WhitehawkEQ. ALL GOOD I disabled all 3 you mentioned above.

Ok, funny thing. On mine, when everything is disabled and I have 100% running in power plan, old cpuz shows full speed, but new version down clocks when idle. I can even post a puc

I would guess the newer versions read clock speed in real time, while the older ones just check multiplier and bus speed.

 

[UltraTaco]

But it still looks wong because I have all power saving features disabled and multi is set to 21. So unless frequency change happens inside the couch irregardless to what you set, then newer version is booked

 

[Alaric]

I would suspect the CPU is downclocking and there is a setting you missed somewhere, like EIST or a C state.

Start your own thread taco... this isnt a gigabyte board nor about x58.

 

[UltraTaco]

Well, only reason I posted is just in case OP has everything disabled and set up correctly, but getting similar down clocking behavior, which could be related to version of CPU-z. Exceptionally relevant!
