Hey guys, 2nd thread today. To tired to fix this one. This post is also poorly worded, I'm tired and have school tomorrow.
My cpu is rated for a 3.6GHz boost on one core at a time. I realized that while folding it fluctuates between stock 2.93 and 3.2. After many monitors and such I found out that instead of using the stock vcore of 1.25, or the boost vcore of 1.3, or even idle of 0.9, it is stuck at 1.15.
More searches later, I discover that it seems to be limiting itself because of it's TDP. It's a 95W CPU, and it is hitting 107.1w.
Is the TDP a recommended idea, or is it just because it's an older chip, or can I fix it?
I've been doing this all day with my videocard, and now this happens. I'm done. Help. :$
