Turbo boost is on, C1E is eneabled.. whats going on? it's supossed to go up to 3.6GHZ while playing or using single core software (starcraft 2 etc)

i know it's supossed to work up to 3.2ghz using all 4 cores but HyperThreading is supossed to make use of 1 to boost it up to 3.6GHZ am i wrong?

When you can post your system specs. so we can help narrow the problems. Also are you overclocking in a OS ,BIOS or both?

 

If your goal is to get higher frame rates (FPS) in games, then overclocking your CPU is not going help much.

He isn't overclocking, he's just trying to get the advertised speeds.

Turbo boost is OS controlled.

You may disable speed-step to see the advertised speeds.
