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 multiplier and core speed will drop but the vcore stays the same. The voltage don't drop. It is weird.
I am beginning to think the chip is bad.
Any help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Kevin
