Hi all,
Finally got my DS custom computer, but I realized that my computer wasn't overclocked to the settings they told me (4.8GHz in email they sent me). I checked CPU-Z as well as the systems control panel menu and I read 3.4GHz in both applications. Am I supposed to switch to the 4.8 myself? I thought my computer is supposed to come already overclocked. I'm kind of disappointed :(

Both CPU-Z and Windows system info will display the default speed of the CPU, which is 3.4GHz for your 2600K. Windows system info will show either the overclocked speed or the current speed (not sure which) right after the default speed, but it isn't always accurate, most applications never will be, but CPU-Z will always read it correctly.

For CPU-Z you have to look under the "Core Speed" read out on the bottom left of the CPU tab. If the CPU isn't under use it will clock itself down significantly to something like 1700MHz. To see its full OCed speed put it under load with something like Prime95, LinX, or just the Windows Experience Index test, and watch CPU-Z while you do so.

Prime doesn't enable turbo boost for me. So Idk if that's my mobo or just how it works.

Dragoon how come my "core speed" from cpuz is 4500 at idle?  Is this supposed to be at 1600~1700mhz and only go up to 4500mhz when I'm at full load? Sorry to hijack this thread.

go into your bios and make sure eist is set to enabled and also c1e is set to enable. Some times when c1e is on auto the mobo chooses off, this will prevent the processor from downclocking. Also if DS set a manual voltage it will clock down to 1600mhz but not down volt. This way of overclocking is fine.

Ok got it to idle down to 1600Mhz.  Do you recommend leaving this option or just keeping it at 4500Mhz all the time? 

This is kinda fun I can totally see why you guys like tweaking and fiddling with your oc Smile

did they overclock manually or did they have it on offset, more so does it down volt to around 1v at idle along with 1600mhz. It makes sense to have it down clock even if its going to run at the same voltage since it will still shave off a few degrees C at idle.

Well, I have 2 OC profiles one is manual and the other one is offset.   I have it set at manual right now but I will try switching to offset mode profile to see if the voltage will decease at idle.

to be honest if your at the 1.35 manual and 4.5ghz i would be super happy with that and leave it alone. Just enjoy your comp :D
