Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me with this weird issue.
I have an i7 4765T which doesn't seem to be Turbo Boosting correctly.
If I leave everything at default settings the CPU will speed-step down to around 0.8ghz at idle, as soon as I fire up Prime95 the CPU reaches it's base clock of 2Ghz but then does not seem to initiate turbo boost. *sadpanda*
Now interestingly if I switch the windows power plan to "high performance" and re-run Prime95 I get a Turbo Boost of up to around 3.7Ghz!
However it seems to run the CPU at this speed all the time and speed-step never kicks in to drop the performance back down...
I tried changing the power plan so that the minimum CPU speed was 5% but that didn't seem to make any difference
I've tried the CPU with a new install of Window$ and in 2 different motherboards (w/BIOS updates) and it all seems to be the same - which makes me think it's operator error
I'd ideally like to keep Speed-step enabled as this machine runs 24/7 and usually it doesn't have much work to do.
Anyone got any ideas?
