Recently bought the 1600X cooled by an H60 with a C6H and 2x8 Gb sticks of Corsair DDR4-3200 ram. PSU is an EVGA 850GQ and a Gigabyte RX580 Gaming 8GB. Running Windows 7 SP1 OS.
I was a bit concerned with running it stock, as the CPU voltage was going above 1.5v at times. I have messed around with it some but anything above 3.7 GHz (even 3.725) causes the processor to be locked at 2.2 Ghz. I've gone up to 1.45v for the manual voltage and same thing happens. I've loaded the cpu with Prime95 and other benchmarking software and it still stays at 2200 MHz. I originally had the ram running at 3200 but tried 2666 to make sure that wasn't the issue. Is there a setting or something I have to change to allow an OC to work from the bios? I've gone as high as LLC 2.
Temps were at 60 C in Prime95 stock, at 3.7 with 1.425v it was around 55 C so my guess is that it isnt a thermal issue.
Also noticed the 1.8v PLL was a bit over 2.0v at times, is that an issue?
Thanks in advance
