i7 3770 not stable at 3.9 ghz...

[Guest]

hye
just ordered a asus h77 v model for i7 3rd gen 3770 but now having difficult time as Intel suggest that 3770 uses 1 and 2 core at 3.9 GHz and 4 core at 3700 MHz at full load .. but when checking with prime95 with only 2 threads it mostly stables at 3.7ghz but for a sec or two reaches 3.8 and some times reaches 3.9ghz ... only for a sec . my question is why this is not stable at 3.9 Intel suggest .... the temps iam getting seems fine 60-c at full load why THIS ISSUE.IS CAUSING. ANY HELP....

It can get UP TO 3.9 GHz. They don't say that it will ALWAYS be at 3.9 GHz. Anyway, you won't really notice a difference between 3.7GHz and 3.9.

Thanks for the quick replies ..as you said won't really notice a difference between 3.7GHz and 3.9. but why its always stable at 3.7 when i test with 8 threads...or 2.thread.......... iam not getting why its never stop at 3.9ghz for even 5 SECONDS... IT DISAPPEARS WITH A BLINK OF AN EYE ... IS THIS NORMAL..

Yes it is normal. The CPU is "overclocking" itself, when going into the turbo speeds. Up to a certain temperature, which in this case is 60°C. No matter how many cores you are using, the temperatures are still going up, about the same, or just a very slight difference.
Any other questions ?
