3570K CPU Questions on GHz speed and Turbo

Take a look at Task Monitor to see if you are really at "idle". Could be something running in the background or something like this guy's problem.

I can't remember which one it is, but did you turn off "Speedstep" in BIOS? I think it's either that or something similar which makes your CPU speed change based on need. If it's off, it will just stay at a constant clock.
Which BIOS settings have been changed?

Take and look and see what the default setting is for "speedstep".
Here's a guide for Ivy bridge overclocking on Asrock boards which I've found very useful.

Nope.
Turbo is supposed to work under loads not idle. Did you put a load on the PC and see if it boosts?Disabling Speedstep also disabled Turbo Boost
Expected. Turbo wont work if turbo isnt enabled.

Think you answered the question yourself. With Speedstep disabled, Turbo also disapears from the BIOS (assuming disabled as well). No, it does not boost MHz with prime running.
This is really starting to frustrate me. I haven't touched anything in the BIOS and its turbo boosting at idle. What exactly should i do? Disable Turbo/Speedstep or???
Should be an option in your bios...Under Exit I think (Load defaults).
Yes, that is normal, that is turbo boost. Boosts when it needs it (supposed to be anyway, LOL!)
