Xeon W3565 Boost/Frequency Question

Hey guys. I am using a Xeon W3565 CPU in my work computer (Dell T3500) and it doesn't seem to be boosting to the normal advertised frequency. Base clock is 3.20 GHz, and according to Intel's info it should boost up to 3.46 GHz.

 

Under load I am only seeing it go as high as 3.33 GHz and no further. In the attached photo I haven't put it under load, but get the same freq. results after a Cinebench run.

 

Anyone know what the cause could be? Is there a setting in the BIOS I need to change in order for it to boost to 3.46 GHz? I know overclocking isn't capable on my peasant mobo, but figured I could at least get the normal boost frequency out of the chip!

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I don't know what your bios looks like but you could try to see if there is anywhere to bump up the voltage. I don't know why it would be but it may be under volted?

There might be an Intel Turbo Boost setting in your BIOS, make sure it's on.
