December 16, 201312 yr Hi All My I7 2600K run at 3.4 currently not over clocked but it does turbo to 4.3 when flight sim is running I have an indicator on task bar so I know this for sure. Now I want to overclock but I am confused as I see some people are clocking around 4.8 and higher on this chip but are they referring to their turbo clock that's been overclocked or is this a pure overclock of the standard clock speed 3.4 to 4.8 so in effect there CPU is always at 4.8. This really confuses me for some reason, is there really a point to do a mild over clock if your turbo is already hitting 4.3 when necessary, I do notice when its not under load it drops down to 1.6. Thanks for any advice maybe I am not understanding this correctly Wayne Wayne such Asus Hero Z690, Gigabyte Aorus Master 5080, I914900K, Kraken 360 AIO CPU Cooled, 96 GIGS Corsair DDR5, 32 Inch 4K by 3
December 16, 201312 yr Wayne That's odd the turbo boost on my machine (without OC) only goes to 3.8GHz and that is the default turbo boost. Usually when you overclock you disable the turbo boost option so that the cpu is always running at the OC speed ie there is no turbo boost. I clock mine to 4.4GHz all on auto settings in the BIOS and do not see much improvement in FSX performance with higher oc settings, even when I manually set voltages and clock to 5.2 GHz using only 2 cores (water cooling). Good luck PeterH
December 16, 201312 yr Author Yes not complaining with 4.3 turbo ii have the z68 pro asus turbo was at 3.8 and i changed bios setting and it jumped to 4.3 probably not worth the hassle to try and oc to 4.8 as i have killer cpu fan but is only air not water cool especially if not much change, do you use dx 10 fixer i swear to good i picked up 12-15 frames by switching bloom on in fsx and pulling all bloom slidersback to 60 percent in the dx 10 fixer, same result for others Wayne Yes not complaining with 4.3 turbo ii have the z68 pro asus turbo was at 3.8 and i changed bios setting and it jumped to 4.3 probably not worth the hassle to try and oc to 4.8 as i have killer cpu fan but is only air not water cool especially if not much change, do you use dx 10 fixer i swear to good i picked up 12-15 frames by switching bloom on in fsx and pulling all bloom slidersback to 60 percent in the dx 10 fixer, same result for others Wayne Wayne such Asus Hero Z690, Gigabyte Aorus Master 5080, I914900K, Kraken 360 AIO CPU Cooled, 96 GIGS Corsair DDR5, 32 Inch 4K by 3
