3970X #111

Hi First, nice job, thank you! I have a 3970X with oc 0.6.1 w 10.15.6 installed with Asrock Taichi TRX40 A question, my core boost max is always 4.27Ghz, never goes higher. Is it possible to reach the factory 4.5 (or even higher) clock speeds? Would be amazing. I use this computer for audio production, and as I work in pro tools, during the work the clock drops down to 3Ghz, and my playback stops, as the automatic speed adjustment is on. If off, 3.7 is the max, so I turn it on for 3 secs, goes up to 4.27, and I disable it and it stays in 4.2 Thank you

It is expected for it to drop to around 3Ghz under heavy load, the CPU was designed to behave that way so that it won't exceed the TDP limit. Unless you go over other options for overclocking :)
