Hi,
So I have a dell m6700 worstation laptop with an ivy bridge i7-3740qm. I have unlocked the 4 extra turbo bins on the i7 meaning I can do single core 4.1ghz instead of 3.7. However I have a problem, on TS 9.7.2 I can't control the cpu multiplier using the TS option. I tried with an without Speed Step, Prochot, performance mode, etc. The only way I can control clocks is by using either the disable turbo but that clocks me down to 2.7ghz. Or by using the "Clock Mod" however this limits me to 3.8hz, 3.5ghz, 3.3ghz, 3.0ghz.
Moreover I also noticed that my sytsem barely hits 4.1ghz, usually, when only stressing one core, I'm lucky to see 4.01 ghz and thats only when doing the TS benchmark, even though the cpu does have 41x multiplier available and it is not power limited (I raised the short and long PL to 80w forever and in multi core benchmark it goes up to 67w no problem). In single core it tops out at 35w and there isn't any thermal limiting that I am aware.
I would like to make it a steady 4 ghz or at least be able to fine tune the multiplier as in games I get thermally limited reaching 105c on the CPU. My thermal paste is cheap I need to change it and the cooling isn't the best overall.
