[SOLVED] i7-7700k Turbo Boost in Bios

[Raerayu]

Got a new motherboard (ASUS Prime z270a) and my i7 doesn't have a core hit 4.6ghz like it's supposed to, all 5 are on 4.5ghz. My MSI Z170A GAMING M7 did. I'm confused on how to set the core speeds to have 1 active core boost to 4.6 while all the others hit 4.5 like it was designed to do. My bios only offers AUTO, PER CORE, SYNC ALL CORES. I was trying to stay away from manually setting each core. Does anybody have any idea how to let my cpu boost a core to 4.6 on its own in the asus bios? Or do I need to set a core to 4.6 manually?

max turbo is 4.5.
or do you mean 8700k?

If you have sufficient cooling, I would sync all cores to 4.5 (your stock max turbo) and stress test to see if stable. Then, you can up it from there if necessary.

I thought 1 core boosts to 4.6 and the rest to 4.5?

Max turbo for a single core is 4.5, all-core is 4.2 by default. If you were getting more on the previous board it was auto-overclocking. Intel used to publish the in-between steps but stopped.

Watch the voltages and temperatures tho - auto on the voltage tends to be higher than it needs to be. I wouldn't want to see more than 1.35v for day-in day-out use (but I play it safer...).
