Intel Turbo boost ft i5 performance

stavrosmast · Sep 17, 2015

So.. My i5 is running at 3,37ghz all time then I saw that I had enabled performance mode on asrock performance optimizer something like that. When i set it to normal the clocks drop below 1ghz when not requiring cpu power but when It gets a lot stressed it doesnt go to 3,4ghz only to 3,2... Is there a way to set the turbo boost to auto? Or I just have to Set it to performance mode when entering games cause I dont want it to run at 3,4 all time or not going to 3,4... Also on prime95 for 20mins I think it got to 67c on one core (real temp gt) and I have noticed that my pc has some dust but it must be caused by my chassis fans config and cause my case has space for 12fans... Do I need to undust it and get more fans and/or config them with another way to have less dust? (hyper 212 evo,arctic silver 5 or mx5 thermal paste,i5-4460) Also real temp said distance to tj max 40c or the lowest was 35 i think. But on intel site it says 72...

What is your processor model? Which i5?

I see... You didnt read my whole post did you?

Oh right xD

This is because that's the Turbo Boost on single core. Turbo boost technology works like this:

4 cores - 3.2Ghz
2 cores - 3.3Ghz
1 core - 3.4Ghz

So to sum it all up, your CPU without Turbo Boost only goes as high as 3.2Ghz, the turbo boost allows it to go up to 3.4Ghz, on a single core load like let's say emulators and other demanding single core tasks.

Yes but if i put it in performance mode and it goes to 3,4 its aplied to only one core as you say?

Also check my other questions right there...

stavrosmast :

It should, at least as far as I know from having an i5 4690.

About the other questions:

I can't really help there, there are multiple guides on airflow in cases, I don't know much myself.

And those processors max temp is 95C, the 75 you saw there is Case temp.

3.4GHz max boost for that CPU is single core load, and is dependent on load being enough - not enough load or more cores active, lower total boost speed (have a look on Intel ARK for the turbo multipliers in the format 1/2/3/4-core).

Ok.. so I should set it to normal mode right?

Just leave things at the stock settings, It'll manage itself.
