If that's stable, you can try going to 4.4 GHz all-cores. If that's unstable, you can adjust the voltage to try to get it stable. You could take that CPU and try to make it run at 4.3 GHz all-core. Let's say you have a CPU that usually runs at 4.2 GHz on all its cores when it's under an all-core load, and at 4.8 GHz when only 1-2 cores are being worked. To shop for CPUs, look at reviews for recent CPUs, they will always compare (via benchmarks) the reviewed CPUs against competitors, previous generations, etc.Īs for "overclocking", it just means overriding or adjusting the frequency (and often power) management of the CPU. Within a generation however you can look at spec sheet and get a very good idea of what the performance difference between two CPUs. You can't shop for CPUs by looking at the spec sheet (clock, cache, cores, etc.) because those values are not comparable between generations and across AMD/Intel. A CPU can run at a wide range of clocks, from very low at idle to very high during intense loads.

"Turbo" is just the name for Intel's CPU frequency boost tech.



Please keep in mind that we are here to help you build a computer, not to build it for you. So for some reason the turbo boost does not get detected for you.Submit Build Help/Ready post Submit Troubleshooting post Submit other post New Here?
