But I did not make a mistake. I am satisfied that I got a good deal assuming it works right.

So according to my research, all that is happening is that only one core at a time can run at 4.3 on this cpu. And the more cores that are pushed to the limit the more throttling that must happen.

Clean boot only windows software and no difference.

Nate, Im going to leave it alone and ask if you can get opinion from Asus tech support. Otherwise I keep messing with it till I break something....

Yes I am positive Nate. I did have to unhide that power plan before selecting it. And then I restored its defaults like 3 times. I like your thinking on C-states, maybe there is something there to...

This is Intel system. Im going to post a vid in a minute so you see the clock do the funky medina.

Thank you for the suggestion Nate, but it actually does not peg it to 4.3. Instead it fluctuates from around 3.8 to 4.2 but average is about 4.0. All monitoring software shows basically the same.

Hi, and thanks for the reply. I knew it was a locked cpu with a max turbo speed of 4.3. Just confused about what is holding it at 4.0 under full load. I experimented with Digi VRM settings in AI...

I am doing, lol.

Is there anyway to improve the cpu max performance envelope over the default bios settings or not. I am hitting a limit that throttles the cpu back to 3990 MHZ, 65W package power....
