Hi all.

I have a second Pc that has an i5 3470S rated @ 2.9ghz.. on all the main sites i have looked it says max turbo speed is 3.6ghz yet when i run cinebench the highest it will go is 3.2 with cpu @ 100% usuage

Board its on is a MSI H61m p31

under the control center software it says max limit for CPU 1 core is x36.. i can never seem to get it that high.. any idea why?

also if i wanted to replace the CPU which is 1155 socket what second hand cpu would be better in terms of performance? its runnig with a 980TI but i feel the cpu is holding the system back
