i5 6600 Cant Boost To 3.9 ? Help !

[ChrisTsall99]

Hello,
I got i5 6600 non k and Gigabyte H110M S2H for motherboard
I saw that when I am using CPU-Z and pressing the Bench thing my cpu goes to 3.600 ~ and not to 3.900 (which intel says that it can boost) , after that I select "Clocks" from CPU-Z and all the 4 cores are still 3.600...I launch H/W Monitor and I saw that when I press Select Bench from CPU-Z my max cores Mhz are 3900 and at the same time CPU-Z says that my max ( I think ) Mhz are 3600
So can someone tell me how can I see if my cpu can go to 3.9?
Is intel turbo boost technology disabled ?
If I will find out that it is disable and enable it will it boost to 3.9?

Under normal conditions, it will only boost up to 3.9GHz on a single core when you are only running single threaded software. If multiple cores are loaded, 3.6 is the speed they will boost to. Some motherboards include a setting called "multicore enhancement" or "multicore optimization" which will force Turbo Boost to offer the maximum boost clock on all 4 cores. Check if your BIOS offers that option. If not, there isn't anything you can do.

I've never seen my 6600 non k hit 3.900.

Under AIDA 64 the most I ever saw was a single core hit 3.79XXX

why intel says that it is from 3.3 to 3.9?

So only one core can go to 3.9? and one more question why the one program says that my max cpu cores MHz is 3600 and the other says that my max cpu cores MHz is 3900?

 

[Supernova1138]

Your software might be recording your CPU clock values and the maximum for a given core might hit 3.9 at one point if it's the only one in use. Also do keep in mind that the Windows task manager tends not to report CPU clock speed values accurately, and can sometimes report it a bit higher or lower than it actually is.

I was running HWmonitor and cpu-Z at the same time to correlate data.

My cpu is currently under very tenuous testing and observation because I don't think it's performing as it should be. But the fact it never hits 3.9 is interesting and annoying.

because people don't look at fine print. all they see is 3.9

Turbo frequency 3900 MHz (1 core)
3800 MHz (2 cores)
3700 MHz (3 cores)
3600 MHz (4 cores)

^ That's your answer, right there. I was about to say it, but he got to it first, lol.

But yeah, 3.9 may be the max it CAN do (on ONE core), but in reality, with stock settings, you'll rarely see it.

D: sneaky Intel.

Can't wait to replace this chip...

-edit- so does that skew single threaded benchmarks? Because most games that use a lot of single thread performance still use 2 cores often, which drops the CPU down 100hz anyway...

Really thanks for your help ! I appreciate it
