how do you use turbo ratio
your system has a 10700k processor but you're avoiding full overclocking due to heat concerns. you're looking to use turbo settings for performance while keeping temperatures low—specifically targeting around 5GHz on a few cores and 4.9 for gaming. you've already tried that and found the clock speeds stuck at 7 cores, which isn’t ideal. consider adjusting turbo thresholds or using partial overclocks with careful monitoring to balance performance and cooling.
Your Nvidia graphics card runs continuously at high utilization during games because of its multithreaded driver scheduler. Based on my observations, Intel’s boost algorithm isn’t very refined—it treats every core usage as valuable and reduces performance metrics accordingly. On my 9600K, I consistently saw around 4.3GHz even when playing non-CPU-heavy games. For titles like Alan Wake, which weren’t designed for multithreading, I occasionally reached about 4.4GHz, though not often. The claim of a 4.6GHz maximum boost appears to be limited to lab settings rather than real-world performance.
