Asus Turbov Core Download \/\/TOP\\\\
Millard Clenney
I am looking for a tool that is compatible with my Gigabyte Aorus Ultra X570 which, like for example "asus turbov core", can adjust the settings for clock and so on under windows. Or does that not even exist? oh well, I'm just still eion Rockie
@oddworld - From your testing, and your reading on this subject, do you think for sure this has worked, and that not all cores are supposed to hit/stay at max, or is this supposed to cause all cores to be at max always?
Did you set #3 from this guide to 32, that makes it sound like all would be 32 always. Is that how this is described, and shown in others benchmarking results when you look around at others discussions on this?
So the thing is, I have an ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 with an FX-8320E CPU. I was running it on 4.51GHz (22.5x) with 1.35V Core stable. But since I'm not at home that much and I don't really use the PC for "hardcore" gaming anymore, I thought I'll reset it to defaults and enable that AMD Turbo Core Technology, because when browsing web all day, you don't really need 4.51 GHz OC (not talking about the power bills).
Turbo Key II is a hardware utility that is controlled by flipping a switch, allowing you to overclock your system. There is no input or changes made from the user, it is all automatic. When I flipped the switch, it overclocked the Phenom II X4 965 processor to 3.70GHz (217.7 x 17), but it sacrificed the memory speed and latencies dropping them to 870MHz with timings of 8-8-8-20. With the overclock and the reduction of the memory, I ran PCMark Vantage to see how it faired and ended up with a score of 4954, which a bit lower then the stock score of 5127 so the auto clock actually hurt the performance. While you can go into the BIOS and still alter the settings, this defeats the simplistic design of the feature and defeats its purpose.
Core Unlocker is another hardware driven switch that when enabled allows the system to automatically tune the BIOS, to attempt to unlock hidden cores in some of AMD's processors. As we have all seen I am sure some of the AMD Phenom II X2's and X3's are actually Phenom II X4's that have one core disabled, either due to stability issues or simply to meet demand for that particular CPU. This utility attempts to restore it to the quad core state. To test this feature, I placed a Phenom II X2 555 "Black Edition" processor into the system and flipped the switch. To my amaze the system automatically unlocked the other two cores with no other input from me. With this board, I was able to stably run the unlocked cores for 2 hours using Prime 95 and had no stability issues. In fact, I have kept it in the system for the last four days and still running strong as can be.
We did find several bugs while using TurboV Core. During testing, we fiddled with various voltage settings. We'd make our adjustments via Windows and observe their effect on temperatures. Suddenly, after setting the core voltage to 1.2V, the temperature shot from 50C to 120C in one-tenth of a second. Cinebench R15 didn't even have a chance to display its first pixel. We though we had applied a bad setting. Several minutes later, we were at +114C again, just before another crash (at least the built-in protection features work). Finally, as we were setting the voltage to 1.1V, the temperature spiked at 98C. This time the OS didn't crash. So we grabbed our voltmeter and carefully read the supply voltage.
Ok, problem solved, now my 8700k performs on par with cpu.userbenchmark results. The reason was, for some reason, the motherboard bios (asus z370-f gaming) had CPU C-states as disabled, which didn't let the CPU boost to more then 4.3Ghz.
The Xeon E5 CPUs have four memory channels per CPU and support DDR3-1600, and thus our dual CPU configuration gets eight DIMMs for maximum bandwidth. Each core supports Hyper-Threading, so we're looking at 16 cores with 32 threads.
