Overclcoked 4770K never throttles down

[childofthetao]

Hi, I followed a video on youtube to OC my CPU to 4.4GHZ. The thing is my CPU permanently runs at 4400mhz, I don't know if that's normal or now. I have an MSI GD56 GAMING.

These are the settings I was told to change:

Intel C-State enabled
C1E Support = enabled
Package C-State Limit = Auto
CPU Ratio Mode = Dynamic
Enhanced Turbo = Enabled
CPU Core Voltage Mode = Adaptive
CPU Ring Voltage Mode = Adaptive

Other settings that were change were just multipliers and voltages.

Is there anything I can change to get my CPU to throttle back when it's not being used?

Thanks

As long as Turbo boost is on, it should throttle down to a clock speed of 3.5 GHz when not under heavy load. You can download this program from Intel to determine whether it is actually throttling down during idle.

Thanks guys yes it was the power profile causing it. Thanks!
