I did a thread search and did not come up with anything. I run a 6850k overclocked to 4.4ghz and since update 17063/83 the overclock does not work in windows. No bios settings were changed and my front panel that I have my display in still shows the bios commanding a 44 multiplier but in Windows the chip is running at default 3.8ghz. I have messed with power plans and still no dice. Anyone else seeing this?
Here you go, This is with my bios still commanding 4.4ghz and even putting the system under full load it's just stuck at 3.8ghz.
What I have noticed is when 17063/83 got installed it installed a new version of the Intel IMEI firmware. I can uninstall it from add/remove programs, reboot and try to install the IMEI from my motherboard manufacturer but it won't install as it says it's already installed. I know the IMEI firmware has a lot to do with how the CPU is controlled in Windows.
And have you run InSpectre to see which patches (if either / both) are installed on your machine?
Because with InSpectre, you can disable them on the fly and see if that is the cause, versus anything in 17074 / 17083, and once you rule them out, then you can focus on the IP builds to see if they are doing something weird...
