Hi guys and girls,

Was just running prime95 to check temps of the cpu and noticed that the clock frequency only went up to 3.7 ghz. I thought the 4770k could turbo boost to 3.9 ghz.

Any ideas or comments would be grateful. Thanks! :)

Yeah I bought the hyper 212 evo. But not overclocked the core temps are in the low to mid 60s (prime95), so i dont know if that is high but it certainly sounds it.

Anyways so is that turbo correct because after posting this a seconds ago, i found a website where it said it only turbos one core to the max. Is that correct?

Thanks again.

OMG thank you so much ! That link clarified everything up for me. So basically when stress testing it can never hit the max 3.9 ghz. Intel makes me laugh :)

Once again thank you everyone for your help!
