May I ask why you bother trying to make CB work faster? Do you use the type of all core load that you need to go over the all core boost of 4050-4100? (cooler depending).
If so, use manual OC to 4400 and leave voltage to auto.
Otherwise if you only use light loads (like gaming), activate XFR, Cstates, Prefered Cores, disable PBO and raise the bus to 100.1 with end target 100.4 when all is stable.
Even the worst games that hammer 2-3 cores of the CPU at 100% load, would be operating at 4500-4600Mhz constantly.
I was curious more than anything. Plus I seemed to have sub par CB scores so wanted to iron that out if possible.
I was playing with manual CCX overclocking vs auto boosting. Going to try the XFR settings tou mentioned next time I have some time.
