Be kind with me, it's been a while since I posted here. I hope my post isn't too "stupid".
Just upgraded to an Asus Maximus V Gene (bios is up to date and all) and Core i5 3570K.
I installed every drivers and did a quick setup in the BIOS to put everything on auto just to make sure everything would run nicely to install Windows... ... and everything went according to plan.
So I did the next thing I do every time I build a new system. Stress testing. Launched CPU-Z and RealTemp to monitor my processor while I ran prime95 and that's when I saw it was running at 3.8Ghz instead of the "normal" 3.4. The CPU seems to be stuck at its maximum Turbo speed. Tried Prime95, 3.8, left the computer alone for a while, "idle", still 3.8. What ever I do, seems like the multiplier is "stuck" at 38.
Aside from that, everything is fine. Temp doesn't get higher than 65 under Primer95, blend or large FFT. Ran it for 6 hours or so,no problem.
I'd like for it to be able to throttle down when I don't need 3.8GHz, 1.6 would be nice when the computer is idle.
Both Speedstep and Turbo boost are enabled in the BIOS. Right now I don't mind so much about the higher C state as much as not running on Turbo all the time.
Any idea of what I could be doing wrong?
Extra info on my setup if needed:
Seasonic X850
Asus DirectCUII Radeon HD 7970 1GHz
4 x 4 G.Skill Ripjaws X 12800 9-9-9-24
PS: Almost forgot, in the BIOS, the CPU runs at 3.4GHz with 3.8 set as the "Turbo Boost" target value.
