Hey Guys,

Is there a way to get this to be turbo all the time ?

So to run at 3.3ghz instead of 2.7 ?

I have the Asus
H110M-A Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 motherboard if that helps.
 
Well at the moment it has the stock cooler, but i do plan on buying another soon like next week.

I'll have to check the mobo manual to see how to disable all the idle states in bios

It's a Skylake chip, they hardly use any power at all even at full speed, under 100% load is a different story though :)

True. Just seems to me that crippling the power savings on a locked chip for the sake of a few hundred MHz is a bad deal.

If more performance is needed (is it, OP?) then a new CPU is the solution, rather than polishing a poop*.

* The usual t- word in that expression gets starred out.

It says 3.3 turbo frequency so does that mean it wil automatically increase when needed ?

Yes of course! Just leave all the power saving on and let the OS/CPU increase frequency when required.

I don't think there is anything you can do to get more performance, other then changing the CPU to a K version.

You might be able to increase the onboard CPU cache speed, need someone else to confirm however?

I would question whether you'd get any performance boost at all. The chip should ramp up when needed anyway.

The top turbo speed is usually for a single core, so convincing all 4 cores to run at 3.3 would be a bit of a performance boost in situations where all 4 cores are fully loaded.

Not worth the fuss though IMO unless it's running 4 cores 100% 24/7, in which case it's the wrong CPU for the job anyway!

All CPU's used to be locked before this K non-K thing came about (Intel anyways) it never bothered us then to overclock and disable power saving features so why should it now? :)

Big difference between FSB overclocking and adjusting turbo states. :rolleyes:

Z boards have(had? not sure about latest intel gens) multicore turbo/enhancement which allows highest single core turbo speed to be applied on all cores simultaneously. Not sure about H boards though. It's worth a check in the bios but if it were a feature on the board id expect it to be enabled by default.

edit: perhaps not enable by default, considering its meant to be a non-oc board. Definitely worth a check to see if its in the bios.
