    Posted: 26 Jun 2011 at 12:07pm
I've looked everywhere to try and find a guide to oc turbo boost but can't find one... in all the forums I look no one can figure how to do it without an insane 24/7 voltage. I know ds does it though. Anyone care to share how? Please? Lol I have a stable 4.5 24/7 oc but I really want the power when I need it.

I'm confused, your 4.5 oc surpasses turbo boost.

turbo boost oces a single core to 3.9, for all cores at the same, the speed is gonna be lower, you have a 4.5 oc. if speed step is off, you have that 24/7.

But what I want to do is up turbo boost to 4 cores at 4.5. Like edit the turbo multi (which I know how to do) but I don't know what manages the voltage for turbo.

Max I'm lust, now I'm left feeling like there is something I'm missing, at 4.5 your cores are running at the fastest they can(4.5), I dont' believe turbo will make any difference here.

your vcore is the same for all.

as I mentioned turbo boost is nothing but oc, it can take one core only to 3.9, if it turbos all 4 cores, then it can't take all 4 to 3.9, all 4 turbo and no other oc, you will endup with all cores running at I think around 3.5Ghz, I'm not sure about the exact speed to be honest, but its not even gonna be 3.9, 3.9 is one core, You have all 4 cores oced already to beyond what turbo can do.

Unless of course I am missing some info.

What I want is it to be 3.4 and go up to 4.5 when needed by changing the turbo.multi. but not being at 1.3 vcore while using 15% cpu at 3.4ghz... but ill see if im still stable enabling speedstep and that might be good enough.

turbo can't take all 4 cores to 3.9, let along 4.5.

are you talking about speed step? speed step keeps cpu ide and jumps to oc speed (in your case 4.5) when power is needed.

you can always just set bios to default go to 3.4, and then enable oc profile and go to 4.5, but IMHO there is no need for that.

I believe in order to overclock most guides say turbo boost should be turned off so you don't want to overclock and attempt to use turbo boost also.

i ended up putting on speedstep and turbo boost and changing the turbo multi to 45 (which is also my main multi) because speedstep doesn't work without turbo enabled. so now it idles at 1600mhz and runs on load at 4.5ghz. I'm happy. And originally i was wondering how to put the turbo boost multi up higher than 3.8 on one core but it doesn't seem like that can be really done.

this is the advised way to OC sandy brdige unless u want to try and OC with using offset voltages the benefit of this is when speed step puts your multi down to 16 it can also down volt the processor. This isnt happening now with setting a manual voltage. Alot of people get mixed results trying offset, seems very dependent on your motherboard/chip liking it or not.

how do you down volt the processor with speedstep... any guides because your right it doesn't help any if my cpu is at 1.3 vcore at 1600mhz

When you change the voltage setting to offset either plus or minus you dont actually know what voltage the processor is running at. Its trial and error with either taking away voltage(offset minus) or adding voltage(offset plus). People start small with like offset + .05. Once you do this obviously you want to note idle voltages and load voltages stressing the computer and adjust from there. Since you have a baseline of what you know is stable using manual v-core you can try and set it up to mirror these settings using offset. Just be careful with the LLC setting sometimes this can effect your v-core in weird ways.

dont think i made this clear in my last post. The way you and i have it set up is by no means wrong. Some motherboards dont even come with the option to OC with offsets. Just dont lose any sleep over it if you cant get it right, even at 1.3v and 1.6ghz ur still barley consuming any power and it lowers temps by around 3-6c at idle.

dont know if your using the guide ive posted here a few times but this is the one you wanna follow for base line settings and what to look at what to touch and what not to touch. To many people are overclocking sandy bridge like x58, this is much simpler and straight forward.

yea i know but at 1.3 is wasting cpu life but w/e you can't offset in my mobo. damn msi can't make a good bios. ever.
Anyway its good it clocks down to save heat... oh well. i'm happy with it.
