Make CPU frequency dynamic

[carterjohn21]

So, overclocking allows you to set a frequency and it stays there, all the time. I was wondering if there was a way to essentually increase the turbo frequency, allowing my CPU not to run at max speed all the time. Specs are i5-4690K OC'd to 4.6 Ghz at 1.19 volts, ROG Maximus VII Hero. If anyone has any idea that'd be awesome.

i heard thats a setting somewhere that *should* be on by default, but sometimes isnt, that treats your set overclock as the turbo frequency.

its called adaptive and you can set it in your mobo bios (on most boards)

Thanks, I'll look for it in there. Wish me luck.

That depends on the motherboard. my Z87M Extreme4 didn't allow for it, my MSI Z87i Gaming AC does it by default when increasing the multiplier.
