edit...... stopped prime after 14 hours
What the hell? How can you have turbo when you are not running your default multiplier? Some kind of feature (bug) in the Gigabyte BIOS?

If it is, I want this on the R2E...

On a different note, I think I finalized my clocks more or less for now. I am running at 179x23 (with turbo on) for a 4117MHz net core clock, 4 cores, 8 threads. Memory is running at 1794MHz and I will probably tighten the timings a bit from the current 8-8-8-24-2T. The voltage required to do this was 1.448V core, 1.35 QPI/DRAM, 1.65V DRAM. All else is auto, including LLC. All CPU power states are enabled as well (i.e., all settings are default).

This seems to be where my air-cooling caps out. If I bump the volts any higher temps are climbing to 90s so I think I will stay right here max. Right now I cap out at about 88C with all 8 threads loaded 100% over extended periods of time.

Maybe I will get better cooling down the line, but we'll see. Not bad for air though I think
