1. Re: i am not getting 4.3 ghz in my new i7 8700 at all cores during heavy gaming....please help
Feb 12, 2018 11:36 AM (in response to ArpCha)This message was posted on behalf of Intel CorporationHello ArpCha,
Thank you for contacting Intel® Communities Support.
I am glad to assist you, the processor base frequency is 3.2 GHz and the Max Turbo Frequency is 4.6 GHz.
https://ark.intel.com/products/126686/Intel-Core-i7-8700-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4_60-GHz
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is typically enabled by default. You can only disable and enable the technology through a switch in the BIOS. No other user-controllable settings are available. Once enabled, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology works automatically under operating system control.
You can monitor the processor behavior with the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU).
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24075/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU-
If the processor frequency is between 3.2 GHz and 4.6 GHz the processor is having a normal behavior.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Stephen C. -

ArpCha Feb 14, 2018 10:47 AM (in response to Intel Corporation)No sir i am getting between 3.2 to 3.8ghz....not between 3.2 to 4.6ghz....the max speed it attains during heavy workloads is 3.8ghz,not more than that...i have tested this with intel xtu ...please help me sir...

N.Scott.Pearson Feb 14, 2018 3:39 PM (in response to ArpCha)Arpan,
The Turbo Boost feature is making use of the headroom available in the processor. The headroom available decreases as the number of active cores increases. With only one core active, the maximum turbo boost frequency for your processor is 4.6GHz. As you increase the number of active cores, the maximum turbo boost frequency will drop. When all cores are active, the maximum turbo boost frequency for your processor is 3.8GHz -- which is exactly what you measured in XTU (surprise!).
Intel documents how the processor determines the turbo boost frequency as follows:
Bottom line, for the way that you are testing the feature, you are seeing exactly what you should be seeing. If you want to see the higher numbers, you need to craft a test that utilizes a smaller number of active cores.
Hope this helps,

ArpCha Feb 14, 2018 9:23 PM (in response to N.Scott.Pearson)No sir when all the cores are active i must get 4.3ghz on all the six cores which i saw on youtube , which i never get from the time i bought the processor....also i never get 4.6ghz on a single core in my processor...

N.Scott.Pearson Feb 14, 2018 9:45 PM (in response to ArpCha)Nope, absolutely no way you will get that high a frequency with all cores active.

ArpCha Feb 15, 2018 12:32 AM (in response to N.Scott.Pearson)But sir did you see the screenshot? It says 4.3ghz on all 6 cores and please see in youtube the video named 'i7 8700 passive cooling'.....then reply to me

N.Scott.Pearson Feb 15, 2018 5:47 PM (in response to ArpCha)Do you believe everything you see on YouTube? More than half of it is faked. As for your WIKI site, anyone can put anything they want up there any time they want.
According to your second capture, as you have the processor configured, you are going to get no better than 4.0GHz with single core active, 3.9GHz with two, three or four cores active and 3.8GHz with five or six cores active. Use XTU to change these multipliers to match the numbers on the WIKI page and then see if these are achievable. Of course, being achievable is not the important goal; being sustainable is much more important to your overall processor performance - and this is going to be capped by the quality of your cooling solution, the workload you are executing, etc.

Dromic Feb 16, 2018 5:19 PM (in response to ArpCha)It is well known that MB and cooler play a massive role in the turbo frequencies you will see . If you’re using stock cooler with an ECS mb you are never gonna see 4.3 all core and proabably never 4.6 ona single core. Another important thing to remember is that K SKU stats and what not often get mixed in with non K models . So while someone might say you can hit X frequency on an 8700 they might be saying that because they saw someone with a 360 mm AIO cooler on a ROG hero board do it with a stock 8700k before preparing an OC.
