Dynamic OC (Turbo boost enabled or disabled? )

FireFox · Nov 24, 2014

Hi guys.

I have my i7 3770k 4.5GHz Dynamic OC, there's something that I realized just today, Turbo boost should be disabled or enabled while running a dynamic overclock?

Cheers.

6 of one, half dozen of the other. While the time.to get to your overclock is nonexistent for all intents and purposes, so is the cost savings involved if you don't have it dynamic.

Maybe it's because I'm sick and taking cold medicine, but what EarthDog said made no sense to me.

I disable Turbo Boost when overclocking. I found out the hard way when OCing my A10-5800k that it caused my system to crash on boot because it was automatically clocking the CPU way too high. As for Intel, I don't know if this would happen because I disabled it before OCing my i5-4690k. I have read that it should be turned off for OCing though.

That's the same thing that I have read too,
But I wasn't sure about it,

I found this info.

On asus boards turbo needs to be on.

Why that?
One more thing, real temp shows 4.5GHz
and aida64 shows 1.60ghz and when load 4.5GHz, is that right?

EarthDog · Nov 24, 2014

On some boards, it is required to be on to overclock in the first place, correct. On others it is not. On those that do not require it, I leave it off so its full speed all the time.

And what about the real temp Thing

vega22 · Nov 24, 2014

some games i force the power saving of with windows power modes but for the most part my 247 oc turbos upto 4.5ghz and sits at 800mhz when idle.

benching off.

Once again the same question, why Real temp shows 4.5GHz all the time and aida64 shows something else?

The A10-5800k was on an ASUS board, granted completely different manufacturer of the chipset, but...

AsRock z97 Extreme4 here, and I have turbo disabled. My CPU idles at 800MHz, and goes up when under load. I was under the impression that Turbo was an automatic overclocking feature based on thermal headroom, not a power saving feature. Please correct me if I am wrong.

What happens if I disable Turbo Boost?

I dunno but if I disable turbo on my RIVE then multipliers don't apply and the chip gets locked to 3.3Ghz

The question is not answered

Sure it is... on some boards, you need turbo enabled to switch the multiplier...

Because that is how realtemp wants to work........ check its settings (sorry I don't have it in front of my but IIRC there is a check box or something there).

What about C-State

Run dynamic. No point in running at 4.5ghz+ idling or doing light browsing at the desktop.

I am running dynamic, just I wasn't sure if turbo boost should be disabled or enabled, is right to have all power save mode off?

I wouldn't even mess with it. Leave turbo boost on.

I have those off because it caused crashing when waking the PC up.
