Thank you both for the replies - very much appreciated, makes more sense now. I think my concern when I first saw it was that the clock was constantly high and the Kraken is running above avg (normally 1 - 1.2k RPM from my understanding) but I can tweak that as necessary. Thanks again

Apologies, my understanding was that Turbo only kicks in when required? This is running like this at idle, only actual prog running is Chrome. So the 4.4 clock isn't required. Just wanted to make sure everything is running as it should be when idle (as at the moment, it means when I'm sitting at idle my x62 Kraken is working more than it should otherwise need to). Thank you for the response & help I also have Afterburner and Intel Tuning showing their results in the OP. CPU-Z isn't loading at the moment unfortunately (sticks on 65% / storage), any other software that would provide better results? Thanks

Hi all, First time post here, after a recent build (first ever attempt). My CPU *appears* to be in constant turbo - 3.7Mhz base but constantly running at 4.4Mhz... I have turned Multi Core Enhancement off in BIOS (latest firmware, F10), Turbo is set to Auto, having XMP Profile as default or on makes no difference, PC Power Mode is balanced in Windows... any thoughts? I don't mind the constant high clocks and temps are fine but ideally I'd have it sit at the 3.7 when idle and turbo when it's meant to. Temps fine and performs well under load etc, no concerns there. I have tried everything I could find online but unfortunately nothing has fixed it. If anyone has any ideas it'd be greatly appreciated. Apologies if I'm just being thick.
