Turboboost :: Hardware and Operating Systems

Paraborne 2015 年 5 月 16 日下午 1:45

If you are overclocking your cpu, you should turn off turbo boost. It might do weird things to your cpu, and is meant for people who don't overclock. You should be able to disable it in the bios. What mobo do you have?

Here's my entire build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/PCL3sY
I'll probably just turn it up to 4GHz, It performs fine in games

I have a very similar build.

I was able to overclock that cpu to 4.4 Ghz at 1.175 Volts.
It's an amazing CPU, but you should turn off the turbo boost when you Overclock it. Also, the motherboard is amazing to overclock with.

OK, thanks, though the motherboard is different :P

I got the 7 series, you got the 3 series, the bios should be really similar if not the same.

Yeah, do you think I should mess with the voltage? I've never OCed before :/

Okay, it's a bit of a long process, and you need to download a program like Prime95.
http://www.mersenne.org/
This will allow you to test your CPU at %100 to make sure it won't crash or blue screen and you can see how hot it gets at full load.
You also need a program that montiors your CPU temperature. I use CPU-Z for voltage/frequency montioring and MSI Afterburner to montior my temps.

1) Go into bios and disable intel turbo boost.
2) Up the cpu multiplier by 1 for all cores. It should be set to auto or something, so you need to set it to manual. It should also be default at 35, (aka 3.5Ghz) so you will up it to 36 (3.6Ghz).
3)Save, reboot your system. If it doesn't boot up, or it blue screens you will go back to the bios, and up the voltage. Increment the voltage by .015V.
4)Try booting it up again. Once you get to your desktop, run Prime95 (SmallFFTs) for 20-40 minutes. If it crashes or blue screens go back to bios and repeat step 3 by incrementing the voltage yet again.
5) Monitor your CPU temp the whole time, and see how hot it gets. This CPU is "supposed to be safe up to 95C", but I'd stop OC'ing once it reaches 80C on Prime95. Also keep track of your voltage, don't let that get to high (1.3V would be the absolute max i would go).
6) Repeat 2-6 untill you are satisfied with your OC, Temp, and Voltage.

If you are basically only using your comp for gaming, run prime95 (when you are done) for about 2 hours, because it might bluescreen again. In that case slightly up the voltage again.
If this is gonna be your "work station" some people recommend running prime95 for 24 hours, but I think that's a bit crazy. 6 hours max, and if you system does not crash, it is stable.

Using this method, I got my intel i5-4690k to run a 4.4Ghz, 1.175V, at 80C maxload using Prime95. Obviously your CPU won't ever get that hot just doing stuff like gaming, but that temp will give you your worst case senario.

Add me, and if you have any questions or need help during this process, I can gladly help you. =)

I"m looking at my bios right now. The CPU multiplier is called "CPU Ratio" in this bios. I also was not able to disable my intel Turbo Boost, but that is okay, because this mobo treats your OC as a turboboost to all cores. You can't disable the turbo boost if you have "CPU Ratio Mode" set to Dynamic Mode. You want to keep it at dynamic mode, which will make your cpu run slower "less power" when you are not doing anything, and let it run at max speed when you are doing cpu intensive things like gaming. If you have it set to fixed mode it will force your cpu to run at max speed at all times.
When you increment your voltage, you will modify your "CPU Core Voltage" option.
Hope this makes sense.

No prob, keep me updated ^~^.

Slight problem...Can't find the turboboost setting

Well I finally found it and my CPU is currently being tested at 3.7GHz but according to task manager it's running at 3.85GHz (CPUID says 3.7GHz though)....I'm so confused ;_;

Sorry, I just woke up. Usually the CPU task manager will mis-read overclocked cpu's. Use CPU-Z, that will give you the true value. Mine is OC'd at 4.4Ghz, but my task manager says 5.4Ghz lol. Don't worry about the turbo boost, you can't turn it off with dynamic mode on, which is what you want.

Yep, been running at 4GHz for 2 hours and the highest temperature has been 69 degrees (running prime95 and watching youtube videos)

That sounds like a stable OC to me. What votage is it running at?
