I understood that “full throttle” = “max clock speed”, but I was wondering “according to whom”.
Really the most important thing is if the CPUs will run at guaranteed clock speeds on compatible motherboards according to what we’ve been told.
So again, which combinations aren’t running according to specs? A “general statement” is pretty much meaningless as I don’t know who you are (or vice versa) or where you got that impression from. “Throttling” is really only a serious issue if the CPU drops speeds from what is guaranteed, within reasonable conditions.
So far I haven’t seen a single report on “throttling” being a widespread issue.
So, where can I read up on this?
PS: My 1700 got up to 3.7GHz all-cores overclock on the stock cooler. Zero problem.
