I have a Phenom II X4 970 in a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 board. I have a 630W PSU and 8 GB of ram. My problem is this:
I did some OCing earlier today no problem. Started running Prime95 to get it stable.
At a certain point Prime95 starts running a lot slower so I open my hardware monitor to check the CPU, and it says that CPUs 1 through 3 are running with a 4x multiplier while only CPU 0 is running with the config I set up (210-215 or so bclck, 21.5x multiplier).
No matter what I do, I cannot get the other CPUs to take the same multiplier as CPU 0. They're always lower. Right now the 3 rogue cores are running at stock (3.5 GHz) and CPU 0 is running 4.3 (blck of 200). I raised Vcore voltage by .1v to make it otherwise stable.
Cool and Quiet is off.
C1E is off.
Windows is set to high performance (I double checked the thermal parameters in that power plan, and Windows isn't set to throttle the CPU)
Flashing the BIOS didn't help at all.
Regardless of the power saving settings, none of that explains why 3 of the 4 cores don't accept any new configs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
