Interesting. Mine seems to regardless of those settings. C1E, C6, CnQ, CPB, and HTC are all off but it drops down to 14x under load at times. The higher I set the CPU frequency, the more cores are throttled and the longer they spend there. When everything is set to 3.1, it never seems to happen or happens briefly enough that I don't catch it on CoreTemp. The same is true at 3.2. At 3.3 it starts happening on one core here or there. By 3.6 it happens on as many as four cores at a time for brief periods. By 4.3 GHz, most cores are throttled down and most of the time. After about 4.3 GHz, the effect starts penalizing me more than the increased frequency helps. CB drops from 6.2 to 5.9 for example.

It's like the TDP estimator part of Turbo is still on even when I turn turbo off.

Use AMD Overdrive and enable Turbocore, hit oK, then disable turbocore and hit ok. no more throttling!
