Dissapointed with Sandy Bridge in general

red777star · 12-22-11, 07:44 PM

Intel ****ed up overclocking with Sandy Bridge in my book big time. Is there a way to force Sandy Bridge - E to keep all cores on overclock speed. I don't care about power saving, really don't. I tried to disable C crap and even C1E and Speedstep but it still lower clock speed based on load. This is bull****.

There is no option to disable Turbo Mode. ASRock Extreme4 x79.

May seem obvious but did you update to the latest BIOS?

I was able to set mine to stay at 4.4GHz with no power saving....

You're doing it wrong

If i don't overclock turbo option shows up and even that still doesn't do a ****. It still changes clock based on load. Sandy Bridge CPU is so gay.

i7 3930K is different than 2500K. Power management is different.

Lol. Board is very stable with 4.6Ghz overclock. I guess i will have to wait to see if this is a bug.
