Does anyone know the difference between the bios settings Overspeed Protection and the high lower power limits set in watts?
They both seem to do the same thing? This is for recent Intel CPUs. I have an i5 2500k.
Net describes Overspeed Protection as limiting the CPU to 130W, but then what's the point of the low and high Power limits which we can set? I thought they were for limiting power usage?
At the moment I have Overspeed Protection enabled and the Power limits raised in order to overclock. Seems to do the trick.
I'm confused! Can anyone help.
