    new system: P79X79,3930k,32gb 1855DDR3. cpu seems to be stuck in turbo mode, runs ???

    Thanks! Just downloaded it. It says my Core Voltage is 1.288 Also, the Core Speed section says the speed is 3799.9mhz Multiplier is x 38 and bus speed is 100mhz So this too appears to be a 3.8ghz system and does not indicate a slower speed of 3.2ghz. What does yours say? This...

    new system: P79X79,3930k,32gb 1855DDR3. cpu seems to be stuck in turbo mode, runs ???

    ran Prime95 blended torture test and the temps were mostly high 60's occasionally creeping into low 70's with highest recorded 74. also downloaded RealTemp GT and those temps were the same as Core Temp. Also, the Intel Boost Monitor showed that Boost mode was pinned at 3.8ghz. When the...

    new system: P79X79,3930k,32gb 1855DDR3. cpu seems to be stuck in turbo mode, runs ???

    Thanks! I am running it and it shows the most of the time it's running at 3.2 with occasional bursts up to 3.8. Where the core temp monitor program shows it's aways running in Boost->3.8. I bet core temp is wrong. It says: Frequency: 3852.12Mhz ( 100.0 x 38.5 ) The multiplier is...

    new system: P79X79,3930k,32gb 1855DDR3. cpu seems to be stuck in turbo mode, runs ???

    I didn't look to see what it was before I called them but the idle temps were in the mid-high 30's. It's basically pinned at 3.8ghz right now, that seems to be overclocked, no? I don't know what BIOS setting would enable it to throttle up and down the 3930k range of 3.2 - 3.8ghz. Is...

    new system: P79X79,3930k,32gb 1855DDR3. cpu seems to be stuck in turbo mode, runs ???

    Got my new NAIBGEAR system and it the 3930k cpu never comes out of turbo mode. According to core temp program anyway. Idle temps are from mid 40'sC to 50C depending on the core. Sounds higher than it should be but maybe not for being in turbo mode ( 3.8ghz ) all the time. When I...

    I7 2700k vs i7 990x, no contest performance wise? or close...

    why not? there's a lot of good info on here. i don't discriminate against info sources. and anyway someday when i have time i'll build my own.

    I7 2700k vs i7 990x, no contest performance wise? or close...

    thanks. i haven't looked at the 3930k yet. i'm buying this pc already built, and just looked but couldn't find a vendor that offers the 3930k. do you know any? Thanks again, plugwash.

    I7 2700k vs i7 990x, no contest performance wise? or close...

    the quad core 8mb cache i7 2700k fits the new 1155 socket, which is good for future boards, etc. the 6 core 12mb cache i7 990X uses the older socket, which is not so good, but it's performance may future-proof it by itself. is the 6 core i7 990X really outperform the i7 2700 by that much...

    i7 2600 and i7 2600k, what does K mean/designate?

    IntelEnthuaist: DOes this: -VT-d (Virtualization with Directed I/O) allows you to assign hardware to a VM, mean that only non-K series CPU's can run vm's like vmware, parallels, virtualbox, etc? Thanks.

    vendors now building I7 2700K based systems.

    just saw one.

    i7 2600 and i7 2600k, what does K mean/designate?

    i was incorrect on the proce difference. you guys are correct about that. I just now went to verify that at the vendor website who builds these systems. Last night they offered 2 higher end cpus for this model: an i5 2500k and i7 2600k. Just went back and just today they've added the 3.50...

    good point. the last page of this review is pretty convincing. put me down for the 2600K: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-components/processors/intel-core-i7-2600k-917571/review?artc_pg=5

    so it's still worth the extra 100 bucks even if i'm not going to over-clock it?
