" rel="nofollow - I have a 970 Performance Fatal!ty MB with an FX-8310 CPU. The default multiplier for the CPU is 18.5 for a 3.7GHz speed. In OC Tweaker I can set the multiplier to any number other than 18.5, higher or lower, but CPU-Z and Speccy both show the multiplier and speed at the default. BIOS, etc all updated to latest. Any ideas? |

BIOS > OC Tweaker > CPU Configuration - OC Mode to Manual(default is Auto) That should net you what you're looking for. |

Already there. Multiplier is currently at X 21. But CPU-Z and Speccy show no difference. |

OK, set the multiplier at 15 for 3GHz and ran WEI and got a lower score than when it is set @ 21. I then set the multiplier to 23 and increased the CPU voltage and now the utilities are displaying the correct data. So the voltage setting must have been limiting the utilities. ------------- ASRock Fatal1ty 970 Performance, AMD FX-8310 @4.6GHz + 5GHz Boost, 2x4GB G.Skill 2400 Sniper, 2X MSI Gaming R9 270 Twin Frozr, EVGA 600, Windows 10 64-bit |

ODD! Is your PSU up to the task of sufficiently powering your system? Water cooling there maybe? If you are a fan blowing across the VRM section is required. I guarantee that. Yet one of the above two is where I myself here would consider. But, I can't see your machine through the coax that connects us  |

I tested the VCore setting and had it at the lowest setting that I could and have a stable system. I bumped it up a bit and the two utilities have been working fine since. I have 5 120mm fans blowing and sucking so the temps and air flow are good ------------- ASRock Fatal1ty 970 Performance, AMD FX-8310 @4.6GHz + 5GHz Boost, 2x4GB G.Skill 2400 Sniper, 2X MSI Gaming R9 270 Twin Frozr, EVGA 600, Windows 10 64-bit |

Ok, gotch ya. Wasn't aware you were running at the lowest stable voltage. That would explain your issue away. Have fun there. |
