Hi all,
I have a fx-6300 running on msi 970A-g43, not overclocked. In bios, under overclock settings, the turbo core technology is turned on. Standard mode is selected from 3 of the main tabs (eco/standard/OC). Please note that i used the one click overclock once from bios just to check it, and loaded a saved profile from before the overclock.
When i run prime95 in windows7 64bit, the cpu-z reports a max of 3500MHz, and resource usage shows CPU is maxed out. When I run prime95 on linux 64bit (3.11), still /proc/cpuinfo shows a current speed of 3.5GHz (note: at idle it shows 1400MHz), again resource monitors showing CPU maxed out.
Does prime 95 never accelerate beyond advertised CPU power (hence not firing turbo core). If this is bios issue please tell me how to fix it, where to look.
Appreciate your help.
Have a nice day.
