I have a Cooler Master Hyper 412 PWM and I intend to do a light overclocking. My idea is to just set higher multipliers for the Turbo Boost, from what I've read something between 4.2GHz to 4.4GHz seems very stable under this set up of the GA-Z77-DS3H + 3570K.
Now I'm stuck because my Turbo Boost is not working properly. If I set EIST to Auto or Enabled, it won't go past 3.4GHz, if I disable it, it will throttle from 1.6GHz directly to 3.8GHz, so even if I try to set a higher multiplier, it won't work as I want.
I want it to go from 1.6GHz > 3.4GHz > 3.8GHz. Once the Turbo Boost is working, I intend to set a higher multiplier for Turbo Boost nad I hope it all works. The default setting for Turbo Boost multipliers are 38x, 38x, 37x and 36x for each core so is it better, for instance, if I set it to 44x, 44x, 43x and 42x or I can set all 4 cores to 44x?
As I'm understanding, this MoBo has some limitations when it comes to OC, but from what I've read, if I don't push it too high, I don't have to change voltage settings, let it all to Auto, right?
I wonder if this has anything to do with some needed tweak to CPU Power Management, I know that there are some kexts that deals with this area, but from what I read in the description, that's for preventing Kernel Panic and not so much for OC. I saw an user installing the SandyBridge Core i5/ i7 Overclocked kext and he had the same IvyBridge processor as mine, does it do any good?
I hope someone can help me solve this Turbo Boost issue and help me with some directions to this light OC.
Thanks!
