sorry your wrong on this one, look in your bios under turbo mode it's even listed x22 x21 x21 x21. I know that after a certain number of multi threaded applications like 3 running at once all cores then will move to x20, but even that's has been under debate. Lock all your cores but one and you will see it use the x22 multiplier. Then turn on all 4 and it will default all 4 cores to x21. You get x22 for single threaded apps on one core, and x21 on dual threaded apps on all cores, x20 on all cores after that. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/fe...overclocking_guide_we_push_nehalem_its_limits


This is right fits. Dr Who (works for intel ) has posted this many ties on XS. Look up the original X58 overclocking thread and you'll see it.

well i know from experience with my p6t6, dfi's, and ecs that only 1 core will run 21x under turbo mode. the other 3 are locked 20x. it clearly states this in the bios.

the asus rampage 2 extreme and gene both have 21x for all 4 cores enabled.

you can throw it in my face all you want but im speaking from MY experiences.

EDIT:

as of the latest bios update for both DFI models it is now enabled as per what the change log has announced....

no one threw it in your face you were just corrected , because you were giving bad information. :D I have done it myself and been corrected several times.

2 increments in your bios, try just the one first, sometimes that will be enough but two increments is always enuff for me.
