Performance remains consistently at 4.3ghz regardless of conditions.
Hi, I recently purchased an RTX 3080 and initially assumed there could be a minor bottleneck, but I wasn’t expecting it to become so apparent after testing it in various games. Now I’m working on fixing the problem, though it’s proving challenging. Replacing the motherboard or CPU might not be feasible at the moment. Since I installed the CPU a while back, its clock speed has remained consistently around 4.3GHz even when idle. The expected boost frequency is 4.7GHz, but it never reaches it. How can I get the CPU to achieve its normal turbo boost? P.S.: I understand overclocking could help, but I’m not confident in doing it myself. Here are my specs: an Intel i7-8700K stuck at 4.3GHz, a Gigabyte Aorus gaming 7 motherboard, MSI RTX 3080 gaming trio, 16GB RAM at 3200MHz (XMP enabled), and two Corsair HX1200W SSDs with a PSU.
The peak all-core speed reaches 4.3GHz. Since Nvidia chips run software drivers that handle multiple threads, you won’t often face games where many cores aren’t used, so your CPU rarely hits the full 4.7GHz. My 9600K typically stayed around 4.3GHz, with a few exceptions like Alan Wake, which was single-threaded and sometimes reached 4.5GHz, though it was mostly closer to 4.3GHz.
MCE enhances all aspects of your performance while aligning them with your main boost. It functions similarly to overclocking by raising temperatures and voltage. As long as your cooling system is sufficient, you can simply adjust it without needing extensive changes.
I haven't encountered MCE before, so it might be intended to upgrade all your cores to 4.7. For setting it up on your motherboard, check the BIOS menu carefully—it usually requires specific steps you can’t skip. If you’re unsure, seek guidance from a trusted source or professional.
Opened the manual using Ctrl+F and didn’t locate any information.
MCE refers to multicore enhancement, often found in the system settings and easily enabled.
The information you provided seems to be about a specific configuration setting related to overclocking and performance tuning. It appears you're trying to confirm whether the described setting—"depending on your system configuration, Easytune will apply an overclocking preset for better performance"—matches what you see in your setup. Based on what you shared, it does seem to align with the description, though there may be slight variations in wording or display. Whether you should use it depends on your goals and system compatibility. Consider testing it cautiously and monitoring stability.
