    Yep, you can tell that though with 8 threads on prime running.


    Regarding turbo....turbo disengaging, multi decreasing to stock, or whatever you want to call it, can be set via bios manufacturer complying or not complying with TDP, current, and thermal limits. Sounds like Asus has thermal limited turbo at ~85C, or could be TDP limited and just that you hit that temp whenever TDP limit is reached, or could be both. Also, both on CPUZ and Realtemp, if you are near the turbo TDP/current/temp limit, when the turbo kicks out, temp/tdp decreases, turbo kicks back in, etc the multi bouncing back and forth between 23 and 22 is typical. Though if you run prime and linpack at same time, you might find turbo stays disengaged but dont know for sure as dont know how ASUS is limiting their turbo. The intel white paper lists the three possible constraints, which can be turned off or turned on in some intel bioses, apparently a hidden setting in ASUS and GB bioses where they have implemented for us in some manner:

    From what I have seen GB bios F3 is TDP limited, havent tested for thermal though, and F4betas like I am using I believe has TDP etc limits turned off.
