Hey! first post around here and I was wondering if you guys maybe could provide some help!
basically im overclocking the turbo boost feature on my i5 since the LE version of this board wont let me have it any other way.
Im basically just turning the AI tweaker to manual, putting the multiplier values per core, turning off c-states and other power saving stuff and nothing else. I cant manually set the Vcore, but I found that at about X43 the voltage stays at acceptable levels.
Now, here's the thing: I started running a longer prime95 blend test, and after a while this happened:
temps:
speed:
power:
It doesnt stick. It seems that all of the sudden it decides to get hotter, surpasses 70-73°C and this makes the whole thing automatically wind down back to no-turbo-boost mode.
It also seems that it keeps trying to get back up again but to no avail, creating those up and downs in the graph.
This was running at 4.3ghz. Im currently running the same test at 4.0ghz and it doesnt seem to go much above 70°C after about 20 mins of testing, and this issue hasnt shown up. That said, I was planning on pulling 4.3ghz-4.5ghz, so this is disappointing.
Why could this be happening? is it normal for an i5 to wind down this much just above 70°C? any way around it?
im using a hyper 212 EVO btw. Seems to be doing it's job.
