Is 99.62 - 99.91 common variation of processor base clock? (It's core i5 6500)

That processor has experienced a 90-100 temp for 10 minutes and 70-80 for 20-30 min, now it has not higher than 44. (Btw there wasn't any sigh of trottling)

Then i had not seen base clock, i will have seen it only after seeing the temps xD...

Sooo i have weird variation of processor base clock it is 99.62-99.91 isss it common and acceptable clocks or it's broken?....

Hello Ingresed,

 

 

Please run the https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool, this tool will tell you if there is any issue with the processor.

 

 

Is this a new system or the system was working fine and then failed?

 

 

Try updating your motherboard BIOS and to reapply new thermal paste.

 

 

Check that the processor's heat sink has been installed properly. Inadequate thermal grease on the heat sink can cause unusually high processor temperatures.

 

 

If you are experiencing critical overheating your system will show you a message to shut down the PC or the PC will shut down itself to prevent possible processor damage.

 

 

Make sure that there is proper airflow in and around your system. Make sure your system is not located near walls or in corners. If vents in the system become blocked, airflow to the fans may be restricted.

 

 

I will appreciate if you could download the Intel® SSU and post the results here.

Download it, scan your system, save and post the file on this thread.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 

Ivan

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool says that processor passed the test.

It is a new system.

Temperatures of processor are at normal range, they not high than 44 degree Celsium.

What features can BIOS updating give to me?

My processor was experienced 95-101 degree Celsium temperatures for 15 minutes and there wasn't any system messages or trottling, or others ways to save the processor.

I just wanna repeat, my processor base clock is unstable it vary between 99.62 and 99.91 MHz, but in my laptop its base clock is stable as stone :/

Where are you seeing the base frequency, I mean this processor base clock is 3.20 GHz and with Turbo frequency is 3.60 GHz.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what tool you are using to check on this specifications, are you seeing this on your motherboard bios, does your system experience any issues when you're running it?

 

Is this system overclocked?

 

What is your ram part number?

 

Is your motherboard's BIOS set to default setting?

 

Are you using some application to check on this?

I'm seeing it in CPU-Z program, there base frequency varies between 99.62 and 99.91 mhz.

When I'm running my system, there red diode lights at my motherboard(VGA diode lights) , but it is lighting not long, after that quick white lines appears on my monitor for two seconds and then common windows starting.

No, it is not overclocked, i need only it works stable..

I have 16gb ram 2x8

It's default.

I use cpu-z

and I just want to know is it normal base frequency? 99.62-99.91 I can't find any one who has same varying base frequency, usually their base frequency is varying only for 0.01 mhz or basically doesn't varying anyway :/ And that's why i suppose that my processor's base frequency is not common. :/

Some mainboards have external clock generators. You should not worry about that. It seems that you have an overvolted CPU or an undersized cooler for that CPU.

Can you please get CPU-Z and tell us what is the CPU voltage ?

Also what is the cooler you have ?

If my CPU is overvolted i should worry about that.

That's my CPU-z results on this video

I have a gammaxxx 400 cooler, it cools great. CPU temps (in Celcium) is not high than 44 degrees. or about 100 in Fg

Your CPU is not overvolted and it seems that you have a bad cooler for that CPU. At 100 degrees C that CPU is throttling. You need something like this: http://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2014-03/7_813.shtml http://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2014-03/7_813.shtml

oh msi afterburner says that processor isn't at 100 degrees. it is between 21-44 degrees, intel diagnostic tool says that too.

My processor once reached 100 degrees for 15 minutes, after that i reinstalled my cooler, and now temps are ok.

But it means, that there's trottling without overtemping :/

What i need to do?

Just trust me, temps are ok. I'm serious

I think trottling can be here without cause as a bug, but i really don't know what i need to do .-.

There is no throttling, CPU drop frequency and voltage when is idle to save power and lower temperature.

To see if CPU is throttling use prime 95 and run it for 10 min and look at temperature. If temperature is under 100 degrees everything is ok. It should be even under 70 degrees on that CPU.

It seems like you don't understand me. I just want to stabilize my processor's base frequency. I load CPU at 100 percent and it keep saving power!?(Do not talk about any temps or im gonna die) It is not logical.. When I need maximum perfomance it's keeping power! Hey here is something wrong, isn't it?

I just need an answer which explain to me, why base frequence is so unstable and a bit low than common one, and a solution of my problem which scared me because i bought the processor only 3 month ago and already have problems with it;c

Temps are ALWAYS under 44. can you get that

Maybe you can't understand me because i don't speak English well :/ idk

I understand you. Cinema 4D is not using CPU 100%. Not all programs use CPU 100% and your CPU has 4 core, each core does different operations in same time and some time they don't get anything to do and it goes in idle and lowering multiplier to 8x. When multiplier is low CPU frequency is low, and power is low. For 8x multiplier frequency is 800Mhz.

Your CPU does not need to use full frequency if is not doing anything.

Prime 95 program here: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/bdc86eb1ed2989c30dcd1902e84939ae/motherboard/utilties/p95v285.win64.zip http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/bdc86eb1ed2989c30dcd1902e84939ae/motherboard/utilties/p95v285.win64.zip can make CPU run 100%. Test and tell me CPU frequency.

Nonononono, you absolutely don't.

I have no questions about my CPU multiplier.

I'm asking about BASE CLOCK, BASE CLOCK!!!

By the way, cinema 4d using all possible recourses which are free, so CPU will load at 100 percent fully, i showed to you msi afterburner and task manager.

When Cinema 4D is running, frequency is about 3300, but it is not matter!

I repeat again: my processor's base clock vary between 99.62 and 99.91 and it is not common behavior for base clocks. I want to stabilize my base clock and make it closer to 100 MHz as normal processors have it.

And again: temps=ok; multiplier=ok; voltage=ok; base clock= not ok.

Now it seems like you understand nothing

If you tell me what mainboard you have I will tell you what to do to max CPU frequency. Your CPU base frequency is 3.2 Ghz with Boost your CPU frequency is 3.6 Ghz.. You need to setup mainboard bios to have CPU multiplier all time 36x not auto.

Re-read please, that i wrote above. You really do not understand what i mean.. I AM TALKING ABOUT BUS SPEED!!!

i have MSI H110M PRO-VH (MS-7996)

I meant bus speed instead base clock, if it didn't let you understand me now it should be easier

You can change only multiplier in bios on that mainboard you have. Your CPU frequency is set up by bios and can not be changed on that chipset.

You need another mainboard with z170 chipset to be able to modify CPU base clock.

But why is bus speed so unstable and low in this processor and mainboard? Why i just don't have a stable bus speed? Is it motherboard's problem or it is processor's one?

And is it dangerous for processor's live time?
