agreed right now I'm not at the full potential but I was trying to get it to act as intended by Intel first before I start stepping it up so I can figure what the temps/volts/stability of the system is prior to messing with any OC...

So I got it figured out just to close the loop for anyone else in the future. There is a bug/unintended situation that occurs. Load safe system setting in bios and everything will operate normally including turbo mode. Set the XMP...

BIOS is the latest 3404.

ok so loaded safe defaults, and now its behaving normally... I'm just going to have to mess around, I think it might be when I load the XMP profile for ram it gets wonky. I'll have to investigate after work. Thanks again for the help.

Right, I've seen it too. However, disabling turbo boost instead of fixing or finding out why(bios setting) its running the way it is doesn't resolve the issue... appreciate the help though(non sarcastic).

So let me start by saying my knowledge is as follows, 2600k sandy bridge architecture Taken from a tech website:(physically seen this on my 2600k) "On Sandy Bridge processors, Turbo can provide a 400Mhz speed boost in single-threaded...

Right I got that, no problems with that. "under any load it may jump to 3.8ghz." so these chips operate differently than the 2600k? My 2600k would never hit 3.8ghz... the max i ever saw under a full load was 3.5ghz. Also when the cpu...

Right I understand that the turbo setting is supposed to bump the system up to 3800mhz but I'm under the impression that is only under light load(not all cores utilized). Under heavy load(all cores utilized) the system would max out at...

Not trying to be rude or anything... just want to fix and go to bed...

I guess let me start by... I7 2600K if two cores are active it runs at 3800, if any more are active it runs at 3400 correct? I7 3930K if ___ cores are active it runs at 3800, if any more are active it runs at 3.2 correct? So why does...
