Intel Power Saving Features - Help Needed

Hi all,

Just a quick question regarding Intel's power saving features.

I have been playing with my new 3570K and seem to have it stable at 4.5GHz, with 1.3V. HOwever I am a little confused about the following settings:

  • EIST
  • Turbo Boost (which automatically disappears in the BIOS if I disable EIST)

Initially they were enabled, they are now disabled, although I'm not sure I can see any difference? I thought that Turbo Boost was what allowed the CPU to jump to a higher multiplier, but even when it is disabled I can still hit my x45?

Also, my MSI board has "OC Genie Intel C-State", should this be enabled or disabled and what exactly does it do?

Any information and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt.
