Hi one and all! 

 

I have a question. I have a "stock system" not currently overclocked and no requested overclock by the builders But somehow my CPU clock speed is just shy of 4 mhz when the base clock is 3.6 mhz? Possible or have the builders (PC Specialist in the UK) pre overclocked the CPU? Or is the Turbo boost active and I've no idea?

3.8 should be all core boost.

 

125MHz strap with a 32 multiplier is 4GHz?

No, 4 GHz is one of the turboboost states

I'd just expect to see a 36 or 40 * 100MHz...not a 32*125MHz.

 

What's your memory running at?

This is what I found on the memory

 

DIMM #                4
    SMBus address        0x54
    Memory type        DDR4
    Module format        UDIMM
    Manufacturer (ID)    Corsair (7F7F9E00000000000000)
    Size            8192 MBytes
    Max bandwidth        DDR4-2133 (1066 MHz)
    Part number        CM4B8G2J3000K15K  
    Nominal Voltage        1.20 Volts
    EPP            no
    XMP            yes

That is just the JEDEC + SPD information. That does not tell us what it is currently running at. However, judging by that nomenclature of the ram itself, I am going to assume you have 3000mhz ram. If you loaded the XMP profile, the CPU strap will automatically change to 125. This is where your 4ghz comes from.

Yep, sorry for the miss information, it's the  Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000 MHz. So the CPU will jump speeds when paired with that speed of RAM?

It's caused by the memory running at XMP. Just lower your multipler until it does back to 3.6GHz by multiplying it with 125MHz.
