    Advice for a 4k streaming box

    To add some perspective, the steam link would be the perfect device for me if it supported 4k. $50 isn't that much to blow, so I'm honestly considering just buying it for now and then waiting for a better device to do what I need. The main reason I want this thing is for easily streaming from my...

    Advice for a 4k streaming box

    Hey everybody I recently purchased a dumb 4k tv (as opposed to a "smart" 4k tv). I'd like some more streaming capabilities since there are none included with it, but I can't figure out what to do. My list of must haves: - Ability to mirror my pc to my tv without using cables. My phone as well...

    Recommended racing wheels?

    Hello all Recently, my father got into a very nasty car accident. The collision was completely out of his control, some lady took a very late left turn into his way. Thankfully, the car (a '96 Miata convertible) did its job and absorbed most of the impact from the crash, and consequently is...

    Which smartphones should I be looking at?

    I'm going to get a new phone for christmas because my contract is up (AT&T, if it matters). For the last two years I've had an iPhone 4S, and my experience with it has been pretty good but not perfect. Since I'm getting a new phone regardless, I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out...

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    FUCK ME That explains so much... CPUZ shows no k. I don't have my order form from when I bought my parts over a year ago, but I have the excel spreadsheet I used for my parts and it's linked to a 3570 although it's written as i5-3570k. I remember thinking it was odd that the 3570k was...

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    It's been a while since I posted last I tried all of the extra settings after clearing the CMOS and updating the BIOS, same issue. Does anyone at all know what's going on?

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    Yea, I had already tried changed all of the power settings in Ed's post. Now that the CMOS was cleared, I can try changing everything again in the BIOS that I listed in the OP, when I get home in a few hours

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    I already did all that... The cpu runs at the correct multiplier according to cpu-z, UNTIL I begin to stress test it

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    Changing the power limits didn't do anything, even when I upped them to 500. @Ed1: CPU-Z does indeed show a range of 16 - 41 for the multiplier. I cleared the cmos and when I reopened the BIOS the only thing I changed was the clock rate. The clock still did the same thing as it did before...

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    Ok, I remember there being the short and long duration power limits options. Which does what, and do you have any suggestions for test values for either? @djsb, I don't see an option similar to the one you're describing there

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    Great, but how do I change it? I looked all around in the BIOS and I still can't find anything pertaining to power draw. Does it have a weird name or something?

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    Well I just updated my BIOS and still no change. It cleared my settings, too, so do you think clearing my CMOS would be worth doing?

    CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

    YES, I READ THE ENTIRE STICKIED THREAD ABOUT THIS. I tried everything in there, to no avail. Trying to overclock my i5-3570k, motherboard is an ASRock z77 pro4. Changing the clock multiplier in the BIOS worked great up until 41. When a stress test is not running, cpu-z and coretemp show that...
