Re: M17xR3 A08 BIOS Released!

Re: M17xR3 A08 BIOS Released!
I have an interesting issue, when I load the A08 modified bios my cpu will not turbo boost beyond 3.1Ghz, yet when I had the OEM A08 Bios my cpu would turbo boost up to 3.4Ghz. Oh yea I have the 2820Qm, So any ideas?

Re: M17xR3 A08 BIOS Released!
The BIOS might have been modified to Turbo Boost 4 cores instead of 1? Just a theory....

Re: M17xR3 A08 BIOS Released!
3.4 is 1 core turbo where as 3.1 is 4 core turbo. What program are you using to test this?

Re: M17xR3 A08 BIOS Released!
AIDA64 recognizes the 2820qm as a quadcore CPU (see Parameters on the Menu Bar - 4 CPU/HT-On) so it runs the built in benchmarks using all 4 cores, causing the 2820 to run at 31x/3100MHz, as designed. Pretty impressive results.
