Clock ratio static

Strangely my CPU can only select a fixed multiplier value, after boot the ratio multiplier remains the same , even with turbo boost active . This would be fine for gaming , though prefer the auto clocking on the fly

In contrast my other rig with an AMD Quad , throttles and overclocks automatically respective to load

The i5 cpu clock ratio multiplier according to the bios can only be set with a 9-22 value , there is no AUTO option.. Once Windows boots the clock ratio remains static and does not change even under different loads . I can however change the base clock to auto , though the base-clock just ratio remains at static value selected



I find this frustrating as the CPU ideally should change like my AMD chip .For example it would be ideal if the clock decreased to X9 when not used . Though it is constant unless changed in the bios

I've tried changing the other settings such as C1E and Turbo Boost .


Please let me know your experience of the i5 chips and your thoughts on this issue

Rant over - But solution appreciated



I use CPU-Z to measure the clock speed and ratio

Intel I5 760 ( 1156 chip )
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H Motherboard - latest bios
DDR3 Corsair 1600 Mhz

Hmm..never had that board;but I'd like to.
Look for speed-step or something.
CPU options
MIT tweaker..There's something you're missing.
Personally I never allow my 1156 stuff to downclock.

I have set the Vcore to auto and have enabled all of the C states and power saving modes , still the CPU remains static
I turned on all the power saving options , susch as CPU EIST ,CPU Thermal Monitor,CPU Enhanced Halt& C3/C6/C7 State Support
I checked the MIT , as in the picture , which-ever ratio I pick ( example X9) the value remain static , no change in turbo mode either -see picture
