Hi. I'm new in this motherboard and on this forum. I have a question when i'm in windows 7 and load cpu-z it say my cpu freq is 1600GHz but i have a Intel i7 2700K that has a freq 3.5 GHz. Where in bios i can disable to have a stable freq 3.5 GHz?

Tnx in advance! 😉

Hey primoz-2, welcome to the ROG forum!

The 1600GHz is the idle speed of your CPU - start some benchmark/load your CPU, then it will go higher. It's a built in mechanism to reduce the voltage on the CPU while it's not needed (it will go back as soon as you start loading it).

You can simply have your CPU at permanent 3.5GHZ by enabling "HIgh Performance" in the Windows Power Saving Plans (Right now perhaps is in "Balanced Mode").

Tnx for the answer! I'll try it 😉 can't wait to get my hands on overclocking 😉
