    What controls Turbo Core in Xeons?

    Hi, I have seen some EFI for broadwell-EP but in general it is confirmed it works only on Haswell-EP. In other words I think it will not work on your v4 CPU and you need to have v3 xeon type of processor/

    I use Asrock Taichi x99 and it's quite good. Not sure if I understand correctly but E5-2650V3 is quite bad for gaming due to max turbo @ 3.0 GHZ. I suggests using like e e5-2697 v3 (@3.6 GHZ turbo) (cheaper) or e5 2696 v3 (@3.8 Turbo) or cheaper Xeon E5-2687W v3 I cannot run RAM @ 3200 as the...

    Here is the 1.40 TAICHI bios (i'm using it and it does work 100%): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KXHs18D-kc8pAqQOCn7incG2xl6CIWSY [if you will able to see mod_X99TC_1.80 then please ignore it as it does not work]

    That's unbelievable result! For me so far the best results for me are - -70-50-50 @ 1.9VCCIN with 104 mhz BCLK(over this my nvme driver throws randomly BSOD] 14 cores x35 13 or less at x36 [tested in CINBENCHMARK - 2475 max reached] with AVX @ x33 for all cores I have watercooling but the...

    @kjboughton - could I ask you which EFI configuration are you using ? I have tested several and I cannot go any better than 13c - x36, 14c - x35. Currently I'm using yours v3x4-0.10b-i306f2-rc9_90_50_50.efi (but tested a lot of them) and basically for all of them I'm getting the same results...

    Is this 18 cores at 38x ? Just used your undervolting profile (v3x4-0.10b-i306f2-rc9_90_50_50.efi, thanks !) and was able to achieve 13 at x36 and 14 at x35 (at 101 mhz bclk). My e5 2697 v3 [qs] also has 145 TDP ... that's why I'm asking if it's max turbo on all cores :)

    Someone with E5-2698 v3 should provide their max frequency speeds but from the max turbos perspective both looks the same yet 2698 v3 has two more cores :)

    I had for e5 2697 v3[QS] : 1-11 cores - turbo 3.6 ghz (x36) 12-13 cores - turbo 3.5 ghz (x35) 14 cores - turbo 3.4 ghz (x34) But now I see the x37 can be even achieved ... need to check that :)

    Hi one additional question ... what this mean ? where did you left the microcode update ? in Windows ? Thanks ! Would be great to run e5 2697 v3 [QS] at x37 @ziollos - I have QS version of CPU and it does work flawlessly !

    Hi foureight84, I need following bios (new NVME drivers - with version 1.40 my PC randomly freezes now with WD Black NVME drive): ftp://asrock.cn/BIOS/2011/X99%20Taichi(1.80)ROM.zip In my first attempt (previous post) I have removed all microcodes and re-used V3.EFI (from page 55) as I was...

    Thank you ! I'm going to deploy it now :) Update: Weird, I checked and the microcodes are not in the given bios yet ... it did not work: https://ibb.co/iCqk3L When I load v3.efi it says the Microcodes are present. On second bios I have version 1.40 and the v3.efi does work there ... yet...
