Hello everyone.
last year i've bought a fx8370E for my pc and for some good time i had overclocked it a bit (3.9 - 4.0). I do not use the stock cooler, but mine isn't the best too.
So, I was planning to, maybe reset the OC and test the cpu capabilities with AMD Turbo Core technology. most of the game never took profit from the 8 cores anyways.
Then I just turned back the OC and set Turbo to auto and stumble in an old problem: for some reason, when I turn of some of the power features in the mobo, the cpu turbo (that should reach 4.2) stops at 3.6 in every core.
I remember when i first installed it and configured the OC, the turbo tech just worked when i reset the mobo to "all default". I don't think is a voltage issue, because i've tried maintaining the OC voltage too, without any success.
OBS: last question: there's an option in bios to set the number of cores per Cu of the processor. (1, 2 or 4, from what I remember) could I get better performance in single/duo thread heavy games by setting it to 4 core per cu?
