    i7 4700k Turbo only reaches 3.7 ghz

    Low CPU temperatures on AI Suite 3 on full load?

    Yeah I normally only run one at a time and the results are still the same. I just had two so I could show a comparative screenshot. tmcclelland47: May I ask what to check in the BIOS. I've already had a look but couldn't see anything relevant in fixing this. Thanks.
