Staff Sargent Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 was wondering if anyone would know why my CPU doesn't come close to the reported 3.1GHz turbo when pushed and maxes out at 2.8GHz? Seemed a little strange that all the vantage benchmarks and GPU-Z etc all say max is 2.8 when it should be at least 3.0. Is there something in the BIOS that I might have set wrong? would love to get a faster CPU just can't afford it and really want the advertised speeds I should get out of the one I do have.

Founder StamatisX Posted February 11, 2012 Founder Share Posted February 11, 2012 Most likely temperatures. If it gets hot then the multipliers will stay low to keep it cool. Check with ThrottleStop or HwInfo your temps when running wprime v1.55 1024M for 8 threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoCake Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 These are the max turbo ratios for your CPU: As you can see, with 1 core you will be at 3.1Ghz, 2 cores at 3.0Ghz, and 3-4 cores at 2.8Ghz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) also amongst all mentioned above load is a factor too if load is too high for the cpus watts max and stock amps then cpu wont run max mhz for 1/2/3/4 core if its a very heavy load unless you use Widezu's trick for non-xm it will allow you SSG to see the speeds you want at heavy loads... just remember backround processes if they calculate at a certain moment and your running only a single app in single thread... what happens quickly sometimes without notice is you drop into your dual or 3 core multiplier because of that... trim some backround process maybe set a few services to manual over automatic to lower total process seen in task manager or any other task manager like process monitor... i know you did some optimizing so you may have already done this... your not new to this field at all i have this link in my signature for everyone labeled +tdp for non xm that means add watts for nonxm. http://forum.techinferno.com/throttlestop-discussion/1166-unlocking-tpl-all-cpus-m17x-r3-2920xm-overclocking-potential.html#post13922 thanks Widezu for making this guide and trick for non xm Edited February 12, 2012 by mw86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckles87 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 These are the max turbo ratios for your CPU: As you can see, with 1 core you will be at 3.1Ghz, 2 cores at 3.0Ghz, and 3-4 cores at 2.8Ghz. so how can i make the four of them run at 3.1??
