" rel="nofollow - Hi.

I installed it because I want to use virtual environment Hyper-V.

I activated CPU SVM in the BIOS.

When SVM was enabled, BCLK was fixed,

Installing Hyper-V will make BCLK unstable.

Is there the same phenomenon?

Why did you fix it?

Help me.

Stable BCLK Clocks -> 99.84

UnStable BCLK Clocks -> 97.86 - 98.47

I have seen that here. As others on the net have too.

It is my understanding that this is a normal occurrence as SVM is completely contained and executed within the processor itself.

I've also personally experienced my OC's be hampered with SVM Enabled, FWIW.

Sorry. Had to grab a backup drive to locate this in-depth link to understand.

Same thing happens with my AB350M Pro4, tested with BIOS 4.70 and 5.00.

It's 'normal' or at least - expected. AFAIK SVM and other VM stuff abstracts or hides the real HW and clocks/timers from both host and guest. IDK, might be wrong.

I believe BLCK is actually ticking at a stable rate, it's just a matter of readings and reporting. Or I may be totally wrong.

I'll be dropping a ticket to ASRock. I advise you all to do the same.
