What is the difference between overclocking and throttling

Bulldozer used this feature to keep the TDP below rated wattage under full load. It's sounds like the feature is still in use with Pile driver.

The thing is i did that and i also disabled cool n' quiet. My temps don't go over 40C on prime. I can't see how that's possible but i'm looking at hardware monitor and i'm running prime at stock speeds and its says 33C. I knew an h was good but i didn't know it was that good. I think im not using the right version of prime since i am running Windows 8. Nov 13, 0 11, I'm not absolutely sure what the AMD variant is, but I've noticed many intel boards have a power limit for the processor.

APM, however on an intel board you can't disable it and it must be changed to allow the processor to fully open up.

There is a long and short duration power limiter on these boards and maybe there is some variant on the fx? Also, those temperatures scare me.

Prime95 on blend should easily take any processor to above 40C if not higher. Even undervolted to 1. Key is to find it. Also one thing i have noticed is my stock voltage is 1. Im running intel burn on max and its hitting 48 C but its still throttling stock. I think it might be my motherboards power delivery that's not giving enough voltage. I ran it with the stock cooler and my voltages were fine but now that i have my h installed all my temps are bouncing around If your temps are bouncing around, it could be heat-related throttling.

Try using different software to check your temps and see if you get different information. It might just be a glitch in the task manager in windows 8. I also ran cpuz and it kept at a stable frequency of 3. It still doesn't explain the voltage being at 1. Also in Hardware monitor it has a separate cpu temp that reads 52C instead of the package temperature that stayed at 30C. I would show you but i dont know how to add a picture to the thread. So i cant overclock until i get a better board?

My board by the way is a As Rock Extreme 3 fx board. If your board lets you up the voltage, and multiplier, your should be able to OC. Of course you need a decent PSU and some aftermarket cooling too. Best answer selected by silversuns. You must log in or register to reply here.

P in my bios causes my system to bootloop any trouble shooting ideas? This might also happen if you are using a low-quality CPU cooler of thermal solution.

If you are into overclocking, make sure you opt for high-quality CPU coolers. It is very simple, in thermal throttling, the speed of the CPU is reduced due to excessive heat. One of the best ways to keep this notification off your screen is abundant cooling. We all know that this message appears due to the higher temperatures of a CPU. And having the right cooling solution helps your CPU to stay under the throttling limit. Overclocking is when you force the CPU to run at higher speeds than the manufacturer-specified speed.

However, Overclocking comes with risks which include damage to the components and reduction of lifespan. Difference Between Thermal Throttling and Overclocking.
