This is roughly the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dBCnf7
The rams are Corsair Dominator DDR4's instead, it's my brothers system, on mine I replaced the RAMs with TridentZ as my pair of Corsair's were faulty
The CPU runs at 1.23V, not Auto, everything else is default
My brother told me that he experienced a momentary freeze/glitch on Black Ops III, I told him to run a quick memtest after this happens and keep hwinfo64 open at all times
When he opened hwinfo64, even though there was no load on this system, these 2 flags got set at one point:
IA: Max Turbo Limit
IA: Turbo Attenuation (MCT)
I'm guessing it might be insufficient voltage or something, any ideas?
Restarting the system doesn't reset the flag, the CPU also prefers to run with 36/38x multiplier, at Prime95, the multiplier is 36
Set the voltage back to Auto, didn't change anything, before using a constant 1.23V voltage, Prime95 used to push 1.4V's at Auto voltages, currently, with this flag in place, the Auto voltages are also at 1.2's
So somehow this flag got set, it's persistent and it seems to limit the Turbo behaviour
I've only seen this online that is remotely related: https://communities.intel.com/thread/92438
This is 1.2 BIOS, I'm using 1.34 Beta myself, haven't cleared the CMOS or moved this system to the 1.34 Beta yet
