Hello guys, I was having some questions with CPU clocks of my i7-4790S
I wasn't able to get the advertised turbo boost clock of 4GHz. I was only getting 4 GHz on single threaded workloads, when there is a 4 core load, it only turbos up to 3.6 GHz.
I went into the BIOS and tried to change a few settings: CPU ratios changed to 40, BCLK mode changed to high.
As far as I've concerned, nothing's working.
so I tried to BCLK OC it, but apparently there is no such thing in the BIOS, and the CPU ratio is capped at 40
also for whatever reason, every time I tried to use Intel XTU, It always turns off my turbo boost, making it run as the baseclock (3.2GHz)
Specs:
CPU: i7-4790S
Motherboard: Asrock Fatal1ty B85 Killer
RAM: some ramson ones left over from my old HP machine (8GB of DDR3 1600mHz) (Micron)
Graphics card: MSI GTX 980
3 random SSDs in the system, total storage 480GB
some random 120mm AIO, jerryrigged it with a slim 120mm fan from a low profile air cooler, temps: ~30 degrees C idle, 64 degrees C max,
temps while gaming: CPU: 40~50 degrees C, Graphics card: 55~69 degrees C
