Hello,
my 990x cpu when in turbo boost mode, with prime 95 will not go up to 3.7ghz even if i set prime to run on 1 or 2 cores, the max it clocks too is 3.6ghz, i check the turbo boost clocks using intels tb software and cpu-z, both state clock speed of 3.6ghx exactly ? why is this the case when the cpu should tb to 3.7ghz

With the 990X the max turbo tend to be on one core as long as its within the TDP range set for the CPU. When running Prime95, even on one core, its maxing that core out and will not be able to TurboBoost due to that.
You can check your BIOS to make sure its setup properly or go to Asus website and see if there is a BIOS update for better support/stability.
