Go to solution Solved by incarnate,

I can run BF4, what do you suggest? turbo boost works fine from 3.3 to 3.5 but doesn't reach 3.7 as advertised

It only boosts to 3.7 on one core. If two cores are under heavy load then it boosts to 3.6 and if 3 or 4 are loaded then it boosts to 3.5.

So long story short your cpu is working like it should. Run cinebench single threaded and you should see 3.7

Try running a stress test.

I'm trying right now but it cap's at 3.5

 

Try a real world stress test. Some synthetic ones don't trigger Turbo Boost.

Run BF4 then...

 

What program are you using to measure clock speed?

It only boosts to 3.7 on one core. If two cores are under heavy load then it boosts to 3.6 and if 3 or 4 are loaded then it boosts to 3.5.

So long story short your cpu is working like it should. Run cinebench single threaded and you should see 3.7

My rig:
CPU: i5 4690k 24/7 @4.4ghz (1.165v) Max 4.7ghz (1.325v) COOLER: NZXT Kraken X61 MOBO: Asus Z97-A   RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical   GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC   PSU: EVGA GS 650W   CASE: NZXT Phantom 530 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB + WD Black 2TB
