overclock but disable turbo?

I'm overclocking my 4770k as a bios update remvoed my settings.

I'm trying to get back to 4.4GHz. I've turned off turbo. When I set the cpu ration to 44, the turbo turns back on. When I turn the turbo off, the ratio goes back to auto.

Is it possible to have an overclock that is "always on" and not the special 'turbo' setting? I an keeping on EIST and Speedstep so it wouldn't be at 4.4 all the time.

I am assuming that some kind of parameters are required to met before turbo mode is activated which means my overclock might not come into affect when I might want it to. Or is 'turbo' just the new way of saying "max speed" and it normal to in effect, increase the turbo speed?

set all the cores to 44

You need to keep turbo enabled, when you overclock haswell using the multiplier way, you are basically overclocking the turbo frequency, if you disable turbo, your disabling your overclock, the screenshot below shows this (highlighted in red)

The only other way to overclock is using the BLK, but that is much harder and defeats the objective of having an unlocked multiplier.

Just out of interest, which motherboard are you using.

As above, Turbo IS the overclock. You are just setting a higher turbo multiplier.

ah that's what I thought. On my i7 860 I turned turbo off and overclocked the non turbo max speed based on the fact that if only one core is used the turbo is much greater which I don't want when overclocking! I guess Haswell doesn't do that?

I'm using the ATX Sabretooth.
