OK, so i'm stuck here.
I know Linux is not supported, but I believe it's a BIOS issue.
It seems that the BIOS is reporting that the maximum multiplier is 45x
From the BIOS "main" screen I see it shows i3700k @ 3500MHz, maximum 4500 MHz.
No matter what I seem to select in the OC screen, I ALWAYS get at maximum 3500 (max3600) turbo 4500 Mhz in Linux.
Searching around the net I have seen others with boards from dif manufacturers that report the proper Max multiplier of 63x.
This is what I see from i7z:(linux utility to report cpu frequencies)
Socket [0] - [physical cores=4, logical cores=8, max online cores ever=4]
TURBO ENABLED on 4 Cores, Hyper Threading ON
Max Frequency without considering Turbo 3600.00 MHz (100.00 x [36])
Max TURBO Multiplier (if Enabled) with 1/2/3/4 Cores is 45x/45x/45x/45x
Real Current Frequency 4499.98 MHz [100.00 x 45.00] (Max of below)
Currently with 4500Mhz, I'm only reaching max 60c at full load. I'm pretty sure I can get at least 4700 maybe 4800 out of it safely.
But obviously I can't get it to go any further.
Is the 1.4 BIOS reporting only 45x max? Is there anyway to up that?
Thanks so much for any insight into this issue. I've been bashing my head on this for days, and by all accounts others are able to do this fine within a Linux OS.
Thanks
