Is it possible to get turbo mode without it idling at 1.4 GHz when the cpu is idle. I find the computer to be unresponsive when it does that as it takes it time for it to ramp the multiplier back up, but I still want to take advantage of the ability to hit 3.8 GHz or so in turbo mode.
I can't figure out which bios setting (or which C mode to turn off) to get it to stop doing that while maintaining turbo mode. I know the downclocking doesn't happen with speedstep off, but turbo mode doesn't work with speedstep off.
tl;dr: Essentially, I want to idle at 3.2 GHz which is my normal clock and then it to only ramp up when turbo mode kicks in without any of the ramping down side effects.
