hawkin90 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Hello. I've recently overclocked my 4930k to 4.2ghz to get a boost in games. The problem is, core speed stays at 3.6ghz (stock with turbo) when I'm gaming, yet when I run prime95 to stress test it goes up to my 4.2ghz. My display is 2560x1600 so I really need all the juice I can get from my cpu when gaming. I currenly have speedstep on because I prefer not having my cpu running at 100% all the time when idle and doing other stuff. I'm still confused about C-State/C1E and if I should leave this on/off or auto. I'm also not sure if I should manually set my vcore (I currently do) @ 1.2 or if I should just leave it at auto as it seems to be fluctuating anyway. Mobo is asus p9x79 ws tldr; I want to utilize max core speed in games Any help apprectiated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 First make sure the program you're using isn't just showing you one core and ignoring the rest as rarely will a game fully load all 6. As a side note at higher resolutions the 'bottleneck' becomes the GPU instead if the CPU. The c-state stuff/etc should all be fine at auto. By prime kicking the speed up it sounds more like the game(s) in question aren't loading the CPU as heavily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
