I've been painfully aware that saving CPU-Z validation (F7) often causes a lockup when you're borderline stable but never really noticed why until I was chasing 5 GHz on my SR-2. I could SuperPi 1M with all cores and HT enabled at 4.85 GHz but saving validation resulted in hard locks, restarts, and even validations sub 3 GHz.

 

I (accidentally) noticed that when saving the validation the temperature readout on the motherboard would shoot to 99 almost instantly. Software reported a maximum temperature of around 120'c, and saving validation always resulted in thermal throttling.

 

Why is this?

Edit cpuz.cfg and add xoc=1 and problem solved plus once saved set to read only so cpu z doesn't change it

Another question about cpu-z, there's no f7 function for autosave the .cfg file anymore in the new versione?

It works for me? It's exactly what I was talking about.
