Hello,
I have a difficult problem I can't solve and I am looking for some advice people may offer.
Spec
Amd FX9370 @ 4.4ghz,Asus crosshair V formula z mobo,corsair dominator 2133 ddr 8gb,Corsair TX750watt single rail psu, ATI 280X, Xspc raystorm waterblock, CHV ek mosfet nb block, Xspc RX240 radiator * Push pull, swiftech 655 pump.
No matter what I do the cpu multiplier keeps dropping to 17 under prime 95 after a certain time. I have disabled all cpu features in bios like turbo core,cool and quiet, C1, apm and set voltages and multiplier and bus speeds manually with no avail. Cpu temps are low, core temps never go above 50c which leads me to believe it's not thermal throttling but have also heard that the FX9370 and FX9590 throttle at a lower temp than the FX8000 series because of high tdp. The mosfets and northbridge are under water I can't see them hitting thermal limits but it's possible. Some people have recommended to open amd overdrive and enable then disable turbo core which i tried with the same result. Windows power settings are set to high peformance also. I am monitoring voltages 12+ nb/cpu voltage and cpu vcore and everything is very stable. Have 8 pin eps power connector and 4 pin molex connected to the board also.
If anyone can chime in with some ideas it would be appreciated I have always built intel based pc and thought I would support amd for a change and it has backfired ahahahahha.
