hello all,
i was wondering if anyone out there has tried to change the turbo mulitplier for the i5 2400
i have read and i quote from the legitreviews.com website
"Our Core i5 2400 is rated at 3.1GHz with a typical Turbo speed of 3.2GHz with four active cores, with an absolute maximum of 3.4GHz under a single core load. By changing the Turbo multipliers to the maximum allowed either in the BIOS or the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and raising the power consumption limits to 135W we were able to get the Core i5 2400 to run at a solid and steady 3.6GHz with a full 4 core load. 2 and 3 core loads are allowed to run at 3.7GHz and under single core loads Turbo was allowed up to 3.8GHz. These are noticeable increases in speed and only added about 15w of additional power use. It was on default voltage as well."
firstly , is this acurute
secondly, i consider myself a n00b, this why i asking as i wouldnt mind trying it.
my rig is
i5 2400 @3.1 non k series
asus p8h67-m pro
G.Skill RipJaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C8 1333MHz
