Question 6900K: Is my Turbo Boost Max 3.0 working???

[scottwild]

I have a suspension that my Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 isn't working, as my processor (6900K) doesn't reach 4.0Ghz when stress testing with Prime95.
When I stress test the processor, HWiNFO64 says my CPU Status is at: 3735.5 MHz.
This should say 4000Ghz, correct?
Am I missing something?
Thanks,

Turbo Boost Max 3.0 is for 1 or 2 cores only - depending on processor model.
Stress testing pushes all cores, thus TBM 3.0 will not be active.

ok, is there a way to test just one or two cores and observe just those cores to see if it’s hitting 4.0?

You can select the number of torture test threads to run in P95: just set it to 1.

Got it. Looks like it's hitting 4.0.
Thanks for your help!
