i7 Turbo - Tool to test for Turbo throttling

[unclewebb]

xpatar: You're screwed. The Asus P6T is the Turbo throttling champion.

Turbo throttling can be caused by excessive core voltage, excessive current or when your core temperature gets too high. It looks like you have all three problems.

Even if you get your core temperatures 10C lower, there are still the other two factors that are likely going to cause Turbo throttling at the 4.2 GHz speed that you would like to run at.

It doesn't seem that Asus is ever going to fix this issue so if you want to run over 4 GHz then you will have to get another motherboard. The next board I buy won't be an Asus and I know there are a few more users thinking the same thing because of this issue.

Papagaj: I thought there was a setting in the bios to turn off Turbo throttling on the rampage 2 extreme.
