Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme ^funny*

greetings. 

i have quite the funny problem here ( i am assuming there is a sensor or driver failure ) 

but could anyone tell me what the crap is going on with my HWinfo and my system for that matter. 

see attached photo. 

isnt that turbo clock 2GHZ from insane considering i'm not running a OC ?

If it was 1 core, for 1 second, somehow cooled, then no, otherwise lolz

ill be honest i haven't touched a computer in 3-4 years, ( i used to be pretty computer savy ) but im rusty as a nail on the bottom of the sea right now. could you elaborate ?

Turbo boost doesn't affect every core on the cpu, it's a targeting software to calculate performance needed at different loads, so the 5ghz boost was most likely on 1 core during an intensive task.

so i can chill and just chuck it up to HWinfo being really weird lol?. i would asume it it actually boosted it to 5.7 my computer would just shut down due to the temp right ?

~maybe~ it depends, because the temp could've been held for a few seconds before the software realized it couldn't hold that boost.

so i should go thorught the bios and just check that everyting is cool ?

Nah you should be fine as long as your temps aren't all over the place and your performance is still fine

im still downloading various benches to run a stress test to see that all my fans radioators etc is still working. 

snip of my current temps etc ( just using chrome ( and other basic non gpu needy progs ) 

also im running win 7 ultimate. 

 

asuimg these temps etc are errect, i should just run a stress test and if shit hits the fan go into the os ( if not everything is burned up lol ) and adjust ( weird since its not a OC, but then again its a computer and this mobo have a artifical brain i swear it does weird shady stuff all the time )

Looks fine to me, looks like a x100 mhz multiplier? Your cooling solution looks great too.

I dont know what your voltage is....and dont remeber the recommended max 24/7 for sandy bridge. be careful with that voltage

its been so long since i was in the game that i cant even tell you what a multiplier is haha. i need to reboot my brain and get back into this. 

cooling is extremely satisfying to be honest ( im running a Fractal Design Kelvin S36 with only push from 3 noctua something something shit ugly brown and poobrown fans )

as i said i havent messed with the bios i just ran with bios 2 ( untouched ) so it should be stock stock stock. ( did this so no fuckups would happen when i installed the new OS and drivers

phew lets get to some OC then! lol joke i have about 3 weeks of reading up to do before i even enter that bios. 

anyways i like to be on the safe side and who else to ask than the LLT forum!. 

now i just have to find out why my cpu tells me i have 4GB instead of 8 avaiable LOL.

try moving the ram around to different slots on the motherboard to test if the ram, the motherboard slot or the order is wrong (or broken).
