My theory of why one can not adjust to full load with out throttling is this. There is some interaction between CPU ratio (manual page 3-14) and Enhanced Intel Speedstep as well as Turbo mode (manual page 3-15) Cpu ration above 35 turns the following to enabled by default. Therefore the base value x...

Regardless of what you may think is behind the reason for a full OC speed. If you know how one can do it pls share it with us.

The SpreadSpectum even if turned off is not much help as the CPU will go up and down 3.5 to 4.5Ghz. Will run at 4.5Ghz full load. While Idle, will go down to a different value. H...
