That I assume is the reason that gigabyte boards shutdown and restart when changing such settings - to avoid the problem. When you're booting your system at an overclocked state, chances are your vrm's can't keep up at powerup for some reason I don't know. There are advantages to overclocking from windows too actually. This is true both because of effectiveness (some programs don’t display the frequencies well, for example) and because of operating system choice (the majority of the programs we’ve mentioned are only for Windows)." "We’ll end with a recommendation: it’s sometimes better to overclock via the BIOS setup program. Only a theory, but I hope the information helps. Processor based on an electronic keying mechanism" Replacement of a storage device containing a boot-up executable code byĮstablishing a secure path between a secure boot device and a host in the patent which is "a secure subsystem to prevent unauthorized I'm including the google cache for word reference as well as the original article:Īnother thing I found was the detail of the C.S. (Crypto Subsystem) on their chips runs at a certain clock speed. One article from IBM discusses it as part of their CPUs. You should check it out.I don't know if this will help, but I found a couple things regarding the Cryptographic Subsystem: It’s an innovative and efficient tool to monitor the performance of your Windows PC. Except for the temperature, this app monitors almost every aspect of your PC hardware, including CPU, RAM, and graphics. Windows PC hardware monitoring championĬPU-Z is free to use without any limitations, restricted features, pop-up screens or hidden fees. Save your preferred information in reports and validate the authenticity of your current system settings against the public CPU-Z database. With the CPU-Z app, you can start and reset timers, run benchmarks and stress tests for the CPU and select the processor reference. The app also indicates the cache descriptor, size and speed. The analytics for your graphics include the interface version, link width, maximum supported and sideband. Additionally, you’ll be able to see if your PC is running a Windows and DirectX version. You’ll see the frequency, timings and timing tables in the memory analytics section along with module specifications using the Serial Presence Detect feature. The mainboard analytics that's monitored include the vendor, model and revision, BIOS model and date, Chipset (northbridge and southbridge) and sensor, and the graphic interface in use. The processor analytics also includes detecting the core voltage, L2 bus width and offers support for two processors in Windows NT or 2000, memory timing and instructions sets. The app will provide you with processor-related technical information which includes name and vendor, core stepping and process, package, internal and external clocks, clock multiplier and partial overclock detection.
