I am using the tool from Intel to see if turbo is working but my 2500k never goes over 3.30. I tried games and Intel burn test but 3.30 is as high as it will go. I have turbo on in the bios so what am I missing here???

ok enabling "adjust cpu ratio in OS" in the BIOS seems to allow some turbo now but something is still not right. with all fours core it will now go to 3.4 like its supposed but it does not do 3.5 for 2 cores, 3.6 for 2 cores or 3.7 for 1 core. with anything less than 4 cores it drops back to 3.3 and stays there.

I even disabled all but 1 core and it still only ramps from 3.3 to 3.4 instead of 3.7 like it is supposed to.

well now it gets even stranger. I reset the the BIOS to optimized defaults and now it will go to 3.6 but still not 3.7. to be exact it will do 3.6 for 1 core, 3.5 for 2 cores, and 3.4 for 3 or 4 cores.  :noidea: good grief why cant this turbo just work right?

also all the voltages that use to be nice round numbers in CPU-Z are no longer such. bus speed is now 99.8 instead of 100 and ram is 798.2 instead of 800. now I know those are fine but why did that change at all? that was something was never messed with before so going to defaults should have had no impact.

What UEFI Version are you currently using?

The -0.2 MHz variation is all there is.  The difference in your memory speed is just a consequence of that, because the memory frequency is tied to the Base Clock frequency via a fixed multiplier. Disable Spread Spectrum, that should take care of the variation.

how do I see what version I have? is it 1.23.1108 or is it some other number you are looking for?

yeah disabling spread spectrum took care of that variation like you said so thanks for that.

now please help me figure out this crazy turbo issue.

That is not the UEFI/BIOS Version ID.  Look in UEFI Setup under "system information" or a similar section.

well I will check in just a bit but the BIOS version that I have is 1.B if that is what you need.
