Firstly, I'm sorry for the title sounding like a hot shot scam.
So I overclocked my system to 4.5 GHz, disabling only Turbo Boost. I also changed a couple of voltages.
Before, I disabled not only Turbo Boost but also power saving features like C3/C6, EIST. At that time, Task manager always showed 4.48 GHz, looks pretty reasonable. But now I enabled all power savings (disabling only Turbo Boost) and then look what I got:
Something is not quite right here, right? Perhaps I need to install processor driver? (Is that even exist?)
On the other hand, I found that enabling all power savings actually increases my physics score on 3DMark11 by up to 0.4 FPS but unfortunately it decreases AS-SSD Score a bit. But I don't mind that, because I used this PC for gaming and torrenting so lower AS-SSD Score is OK.
Please tell me your opinions.
Thank you.
