June 27, 20178 yr Commercial Member Hello All! I recently starting flying again with P3D V4 and it doesn't look like my CPU is overclocked. I set it in the BIOS but nothing. The only thing that happens is the fan running at full speed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Now how come the fan CPU fan runs at 100% always? I've tried to change setting in BIOS but it still runs at 100% when I OC.

June 27, 20178 yr Hi Clement, Botton left of CPU-Z under "Clocks (core #0)" the "Core Speed" tells you what your CPU is actually doing... Looks like right around 4.4 Ghz... As for lowering it - that depends on your core temps... I have a much older i2700K running at 4.7 Ghz and my temps stay under 80 C - been running like that for years... So 4.4 Ghz is a relatively light OC.... I have a big massive Noctua aftermarket CPU cooler on it... I'm no expert - but if you keep your temps under 80 C - that should be fine... Also - if the speed of your fans annoy you due to the noise they make - I also replaced all my case fans with Noctua fans as well - and they run MUCH quieter - if they run at full speed - that's fine with me... Best of luck... Regards, Scott

June 27, 20178 yr Hi Clement, Yeah - the way the OC works - is that the CPU only hits the top end of the OC when under load... When the PC is idle you'll see the clock speed back off to your base clock of 3.5 Ghz... P3D definitely loads your CPU up - so when running it - I would expect to see max clock... You should get another app to measure your CPU core temps... The whole deal with OC is you want to get your max OC set without your temps going out of control or the system becoming unreliable - the system crashes... My OC's are usually set it and forget it - meaning I do it once when I setup a new PC and typically that's one of the last times I mess with it... It's all about temperature control and cooling... The better you can keep the CPU cool - the more performance you will get from your machine... The CPU's theoretically have safety devices built in to prevent you from doing damage - so - it should shutdown giving you a safety net while messing with it... I use CPU-Z - another program for temp monitoring - and a third program for stress testing... I can't think of the names of the other two off the top of my head - but some quick searches should yield some results... Regards, Scott

June 27, 20178 yr Hi Clement, Yeah - looks good - the temp program I have measures each core independently - but from your app - looks like 70 C under heavy load ? That certainly seems acceptable to me - again - not an expert... I usually just change one thing on my Gigabyte boards to achieve my OC and let the mobo manage the voltages... Regards, Scott
