I just built a machine with an ASRock H67M-ITX motherboard and an i7 2600K CPU, all stuffed in a Lian Li PC-Q11 enclosure. The CPU has a Thermalright AXP-140 cooler installed, with a slim Scythe 120mm fan.
I am running everything at stock speeds, no overclocking. All the CPU/voltage/speed settings in BIOS are at the auto or default settings.
When I run Prime95 Torture Test (In-place large FFTs, 8 threads), every few seconds CPU-Z reports my multiplier drops to x 16.0 (from x 34.0). At the time of the multiplier drop, the hottest core temperature is around 61C.
I thought throttling was supposed to happen once the temperature reaches into the high 90s. I tried searching this issue on Google but could only find information on overclocked systems.
Can anyone else with an ASRock H67M-ITX and an i7 2600K CPU confirm if this is normal stock behavior for this combo?
