make intel speedstep independent from intel turbo

intel speedstep is temp dependent from 775 days afaik
I think you hit the nail on the head here, I've been doing some tests with this board with a 920 and im pretty sure its temp related as others have said.
I can boot 20x200 no problem with turbo enabled. I have a makeshift waterblock mount so load temps are likely to be higher than normal as soon as I hit second cpu test on 06 bam, same with vantage and almost exactly 50% of the way through wprime 1024. freezes up. my cascade is awaiting repair but im pretty sure at subzero this would not be an issue. [even at lower load temps iro 60-65 possibly]

My load temps are hitting 85c across the cores.

I only got the board yesterday haven't got my head around it yet. its a good board imo but of course would be a whole lot better without this issue I hope the issue is resolved soon.
Which bios are you guys running? im running the latest 0903. It looks like asus refer to this issue quote' Rampage II Extreme 0903 Bios
