Also, while windows reports 3.3ghz native frequency, the xeon does not go past 3.1ghz. Any reason why? Secondly, intel's tubo boost software tells me tubro boost is not enabled, but it definitely is ticked to enabled in the BIOS.
edit: After some tinkering I was able to change the multiplier in the bios to 37. Saving changes and exiting, I see the advertized 3.3ghz, and cpu-z reports a multipier of 33. I went back into the BIOS and sure enough, it's set to 33. So I change it again to 37 and now cpu-z reports a multiplier of 35.
After some more research, it looks like 3.5ghz is the maximum supported frequency on the e3-1230v2 CPU when all four cores are being used. I'm happy with this result, but would still like to achieve the 3.7/3.7/3.6/3.5 the BIOS reports as possible but is not letting happen (or that windows is not letting happen).
Still having the problem with turbo boost too. It is set to enabled in the BIOS but I am unable to toggle it or any setting related to it. Before messing with the BIOS A single core wouldn't budge over even 3.1ghz. Is there some setting that's can get in the way of turbo boost? Why Intel's utilities say It's not even present?
