Anyway to disable that without losing the 21x multi?

I tried disabling turbo, but it will not let me set 21x in the BIOS

If I am going to get up to 5 Giga HURTS I need the 21x multi

Could not figure out why I was having so much trouble at 4.67 HTT last night until I saw the 22x multi on core0 in E-Leet. Then I realized I was pushing almost 4.9 on one core... pretty sure that 1.45 volts is not enough for that LOL


Saw on other boards you can disable C state (separate from CxE IIRC) to stop 22x multiplier. But I do not have that option in the BIOS unlike my super cheap MSI board.

So far this board is amazingly strong, but so damn finicky and buggy

[DrNip]

I'm confused. What CPU you running?

[Neuromancer]

i7 920

That's what I thought you were talking. Now I am really confused with the whole 22 mult talk.

[Witchdoctor]

Me as well.....? I thought 21 was max with turbo on for the 920...?

I have one coming so I will be learning with you .......

My Gigabyte was rock solid ...... we will see what EVGA has on the table but rumor has it 235 is obtaiable on this board ....... not quite 5Ghz ......
Time will tell man as I am bringing it cold .................

Turbo mode adds 2x multi on core 0 and 1x multi on cores 1-3.

Might want to rig up a chiller and push the volts....

I would imagine that the extra 1x multi would help out on 2d benchies, but I have been wrong before.

Oh yah I DO intend to take advantage of the 22X multi later

Would like to disable it though for now. Guess I can try the 20X multi, just means 5% more BUS needed. Since I have also read that even multis do not clock as well that would mean dropping down to 19x though. Which is unacceptable :(


Will play around with 20X tonight and see what I can get done

As far as I know some mobos will allow for a 22 mult on core 0 if you change some settings in the bios to certain things but only a few mobos allow for this. Not to mention you can get real high MHz with this mult so it is pretty much pointless and I doubt you will obtain 5ghz with it. Still confused as why you would want the 22 mult. Your best bet is 21 mult.

[Neuromancer]

I do not want the 22X multi, I want to get rid of it :p

So far only solution I was able to find was changing Cstate, but no option for that in BIOS (except CxE which is already disabled)

Here I shut off 3 cores to use 22x multi for 2D benching.
