Hello,
Running the following setup:
i5 3570 non k stock intel cooling
gigabyte ga-z77-d3h mobo
2 x 4gb corsair vengeance 1866 ddr3
I see lots of overclocking stuff on this cpu...but I am looking for what the stock settings for this cpu should be. I went into bios and found that the cpu was set to 2.8...but it's advertised as a 3.4. I bumped the cpu up to 3.4 and then found when I returned to bios after a reboot that the cpu was clocking at 3.8, but the setting was still at 3.4. I figure turbo boost must be kicking in somewhere...I just want to know if I should set the cpu back to 2.8....3.8 is scary even though all temps have been 70C or below even under a load.
I want to be clear that I do not want to overclock. I was only in the bios because I was afraid my ram was not clocking at the right speed. I was right, the ram was only set at 1333...so I adjust that and noticed the cpu was set at 2.8. Any suggestions would be great.
