Hi everyone, new user here
I wanted to say thanks for all the great information and guides. I built my own PC for the first time a few days ago and now trying my first overclock. I have a silly question: after overclocking, is it normal that when I open CPU-Z, the processor runs at the overclocked speed (4GHz currently) non-stop, even when not in use, instead of clocking down to the 16x multiplier to save energy, like it was initially? I followed Ket's instructions and screens pretty much for all the UEFI settings. Is this because I disabled power saving? Is it worth letting the CPU "rest" when not in use, or should I just leave it 4GHz permanently when overclocking? Thanks!
