nvm please delete

turbo needs to be enabled for it to go above x24, booted x30 no prob

Duh!

Haha, nah I've done the same - I sat there scratching my head for 2 minutes with a i7 965 wondering why it would never go above a 24x multi before figuring it out. Didn't post on kp forums though, that would be embarassing.

Here's hoping you've got a better 655k than most.

thanks!

yeah I usually post about 5 minutes too early and look like a fool. Oh well

what batch you got there splave?

[Splave]

hey brian how are you bro?

First 1 I tested is a Q4MA L004B892. No CB, CBB -80c (think my ink mod on classy wore off?)

Hits a wall at 6.25ghz for wpime 32m, tried up to 1.98v. Could maybe gain a couple mhz with a better mount. Also going to try a higher multi.

Had 5L or so, so it wasnt anything too intense.


Better than both my 670s and my 661, will have to play some pi soon, test the other 655k and 680

Is this a K-series only feature? That you need to have turbo enabled? NOT on any extreme chip?

My "weird" 870x didn't need turbo enabled on p55a-ud7...

[dinos22]

it's not a feature but something that bios needs to fix. GIGABYTE boards are the same....you have to enable turbo to be able to change multi in windows...it thinks its a locked CPU still and will get sorted in bios

well now the 680i max multi is x28 any thoughts, I thought they were unlocked completely?
