    What controls Turbo Core in Xeons?

    If i'm understanding correctly, it's now possible to integrate EFI turbo unlock driver into BIOS to avoid using EFI shell etc. I was here a long ago, so please, can someone show me right posts about how to do it. I'm tired of using EFI boot flash drive every time i need to make some changes to...

    Yes, using BIOS v5, deleted only v3 microcode. Using mix of 8 and 4 GB RDIMM ECC (4 of each, total 48G), so there should be no problem.

    Someone (author?) must collect them all and make 1st post with all links and descriptions.

    Non-WS version does not have this problem, i don't have one, but owners of Z10PE-D16 reporting no such troubles. Very strange.

    Your CPU is more expensive, than mine, yet you have only 3.2 GHz (I have stable 3.0 with 3.5 for up to 10 cores with balanced power plan, 2.7 under very heavy AVX2). Seems to be motherboard restriction, really... Right now using new EFI driver with -50 mV, uCode 039 through VMWare, i believe...

    New EFI driver (without -50mV offset) is strange: was x30 after first reboot, no uCode, new record for 2686 v3. Uncore drops from x30 to x20, and after injecting 039 uCode VMWare driver max multiplier drop to x28‒29, and stay there after cold reboot. 027 uCode does the same. Reverting to driver...

    I don't know really. Must be the same, because we are talking of same uCode strings.

    I recently had some, but these are graphics driver restarts and probably related to AMD Radeon drivers. I have unlocked Fury X (initially ASUS Fury STRIX). Maybe it is defective, though older drivers never had any issues... I call this "floating bug" and these are very, very frustrating - as...

    Bad news you have here. We're considering to use this model (non-WS model have some problems, like 1st CPU DIMMs conflicting with videocard).

    Had anyone noticed any instabilities with -50 mV offset driver?

    Try to add them to EFI boot partition and avoid BIOS resets and even settings. Working here, so might work for you too.

    First, check if your system is not changing drive order. For example, i have a RAID0 array of four SSDs and after every BIOS visit i must add load string to EFI again, or driver will not load after next reboot. (Mine EFI boot partition is fs2).
