turbo boost

[dwarfer09]

hello,

i have a 3930k 3.2ghz cpu, all settings in bios set to auto, once upon a time i was able to get a turbo boost to 3.8ghz (factory boost standard) but now it doesnt go above 3.5ghz

cpu temps are around 40c - 50c when i run prime 95 , it stays on 3.5 NEVER above

since my bios is auto why will it not go above 3.5?

Run Prime95 with how many threads?

all threads, but its not just prime 95 that gave me 3.8 it was almost everything, new temps 30-40c

When all cores are under load, Turbo boost will not raise clocks. Try Prime95 with single thread and see what happens.

3.5ghz :(

everything makes it 3.5ghz.. i do a lot of video encoding and 3D rendering it was so common to get 3.8 but now.... :(

Windows power management settings OK? Turbo not disabled in BIOS? CPU runs hotter than before?
