Hi all,
So I have a successful build with this hardware:
i7-8700 (non-K)
Gigabyte AORUS Gaming 5
32 GB DDR4-3000
EVGA GTX 1050 SCC 2GB
Samsung EVO 960 512GB M.2 (system)
Everything works except the on-board WIFI, but I know there is no support for it yet. No biggie.
HWMonitor reports an obvious Speed Stepping on the CPU frequency, despite my manual setting of the CPU frequency and vCore in the BIOS and despite Speed Step being disabled. The system seems a bit sluggish, TBH. When things get going its fine but the CPU seems to ramp up a bit slow.
Basically, I just want to get this CPU to run at a constant 4.2GHz on this machine and have it be a bit snappier. It is for audio production so I don't need it to scream, I just want to to work at its max turbo frequency all the time.
It looks to me like MacOS is ignoring the BIOS overclock settings. How do I fix this? Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
