Hello
I'm having a problem with my i7 2700k
If I try to overclock past 4.6 and run a stress test( intel burn test or prime95)
My cpu will drop from the overclock to stock speed of 3.5ghz for a couple seconds and shoot back up.
It don't do it at 4.6ghz. I have a custom water loop so my temps are in the low 60s at the hottest core when under full load.
The rest of the cores are in the 50s. I have speed-step and all power savings disabled and power management set to active
in windows. I have tried everything. I have been overclocking for over 10 years. This has me just stumped. The vcore and muliplier drop to stock
in hwinfo.
I am beginning to think the chip is bad.
Any help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Kevin
