anyone running a "k" skylake processor notice turbo boost, nor multiplier overclocking, work at all under linux?
i noticed that my 6700k with either 4.2 or 4.3 kernel refuse to overclock. if i turn off c-states, manually set voltage, and set my multiplier to something as little as 42, no matter what, linux only reports 4ghz speed.
i've also tried setting cpu governor to performance and even went as far and disabled cpu frequency scaling support (intel_pstate) in the kernel.
even turbo doesn't work if i set everything to default. it never goes above 4ghz under linux. i use cat /proc/cpuinfo and that i7z git program to monitor cpu frequency.
overclocking only works on windows, which currently i'm running windows 10. i have c-states off, turbo on, multiplier set to a fixed 42 sync all cores, and windows power management set to performance.
my motherboard is a asus maximus viii hero.
>muh gaymez
You had no use for Linux in the first place.
>>52294105
i never said anything about gaming.
also want to add when i have governor set to ondemand it scales between 800mhz and 4ghz. even if multiplier is set to 42.
>>52294116
The motherboard gave you away.
>>52294182
so? its a fucken good motherboard with an excellent onboard sound solution.
fucken eh not all gaming shit is shit.

can you guys who preach linux left and right stop raging over a motherboard and actually help with your shitty OS that can't even allow cpu overclocking?
>>52294325
i don't want to game on linux for fuck sakes. or game at all. stop implying shit. you're as bad as reddit
>>52294342
>overclocking using software
holy shit go kill yourself
>>52294342
Stop using a shitty distro, find one that actually supports Linux 4.3 or superior and update your microcode, finally OC using your bios and you don't need to disable c-states retard.
>>52294342
just keep windows on your main PC. if you want to use linux, explore it in a virtual machine or install it to an old laptop.
don't use it for primary purposes until you're comfortable with it. granted, i don't know anything about OP (you?), so i am projecting here.
>>52294362
who said software? i said bios. can you not read?
if you're implying "cat /proc/cpuinfo and i7z-git" those are fucken programs that show you information not overclocking you idiot.
>>52294384
i'm using arch, tried gentoo, and even ubuntu.
i also tried stock vanilla kernels and ck kernels.
all the same shit.
debian won't even boot.
>>52294413
Have you tried updating your shitty microcode?
>>52294419
all microcode available for linux from intel provide zero updates to skylake, and i have the latest microcode that asus shipped with its bios.

>>52294530
how the fuck is this a motherboard issue when it works fine in windows?
i don't even need chipset drivers installed in windows and it reports 4.2ghz just fine.
>>52294600
do you need it overcocked in linux anyway?
>>52294648
of course linux shills would say this

Not only you won't have any use for it, you won't get any support for it as well.
>>52294666
it's pretty easy, but i forgot the link.
>>52294600
lelnux kernel don't quite support skylel yet. Try if 4.4 kernel werks. Also your OC may not be stable, make sure it is.
>>52294648
>it doesn't work
>you don't need that
fuck off
>>52294086
Awwww shit. I just bought a 6700k for a new compy that will be running linux.
I hope you're wrong.
>>52294086
Are you sure this is about them not working instead of a problem with cpuinfo reporting? I find it really weird that bios level settings would depend on the underlying operating system.
>>52294796
I did it, but I went for broadlel
>>52294105
I bought a ROG motherboard for my 6700k i7 too. Because it had the maximum RAM requirements, socket and PCIe lanes I needed.
Just because he bought a "gaymen" motherboard doesn't mean he's gaymer.
MUH JEWNTEL '''FEATURES'''
>>52294830
if cpuinfo isn't reporting correctly then i find it odd its able to report downclocking and clocking back up to 4ghz just fine. i7z-git reports the multiplier of 42 but when it clocks up it never goes past 4ghz. if i set it to performance or disable cpu frequency scaling altogether in the kernel it reports as "40" "4000mhz" even if i set it to 42, 43, or 44.
>>52294789
4.2ghz is stable as a rock. in windows 2 day uptime running prime in the background and runs linx with latest intel linpack for 10 hours with no issues. 4.2ghz isn't really a overclock anyways since its its turbo speed, i just have it set to it 24/7 at 1.23v's. 1.2v's is skylake default for 4ghz.
>>52294931
just want to add it always shows 42 as the highest multiplier, it never goes over 40 "4ghz" for some reason.
>>52294789
>lelnux kernel don't quite support skylel yet. Try if 4.4 kernel werks.
lUnix dun support x86
BLOWN THE FUCK OUTTTT
>>52294946
with i7z-git
and cpupower frequency-info is the same. always shows "4200" max frequency, but never goes above "4000"
>>52294086
What are you using the computer for?
I'm about to put together a 6700k i7 computer on a similar board to draw images using triangles and learn more about CUDA programming.
Also fuck the consumerist nerds that are caught up on your mobo. I looked forever until I finally found one with all the specs I needed.
If you set the clock on the BIOS and then use performance governor then there is no way your cpu will change clock speeds. at most you can get bad reported clock speed but nothing else.
You can also try and disable the turbo jewery since when you overclock you want to have stable frequencies.
>>52294965
i7z might be using the same source from the system, could you run some benchmark comparing both settings to validate it?
>>52294895
>not buying sabretooth
>>52294966
honestly, muh programming. i just had the money for nice parts. was either this or more shit chipotle / random shit.
>>52294995
that's what i'm assuming as well but sadly i don't know of any other "benchmarking" stuff on linux that can validate this kind of stuff. i even looked at phoronix test suit but he just uses the same shit.
my old i7 920 worked wonders in linux.

>>52295051

Run the test on both Linux and Windows and see if you are getting the clock speeds and performance you expect.
Also disable turbo shit since your freq will be all over the place and you need a stable clock speed when doing overclock or CPU intensive tasks.

I needed micro atx because I wanted to use a small case to make it easier to take around with me. I want to do research on the value of crossover in stochastic beam search and then when I'm done do demos at my old high school robotics team about why comp sci is cool.
>>52295051
Me too. It's nice to have a nice machine to use. I really wanted to use a 4xPCIe M.2 drive, 16xPCIe GPUs and a skylake because it's fun to develop on nice hardware.
Shame you can't OC it though. Hope it's fixed soon.

>>52295102
Turbo boost is important nowadays also because it balances load across the cores, which is important when not all of them are in use. The performance might be lower for single threaded tasks with overclock but without turbo boost.
Try p7zip internal benchmark, compare the base configuration to the overclocked one setting the threads to 1, the number of cores and the number of logical cores.

There is only way to test it out, do some CPU bench and compare results, cpu freq misreadings are common on Windows and Linux when the CPU is new.

Until I see a technical reason why you think it's Linux fault, I'm gonna call you out on your bullshit.
>>52295316
>stable in windows but not in Linux
TL:DL, Its lunixes fault
>stable in windows but not in Linux
The way it reports clock speed is kinda weird. I've found myself in situations before where I cannot actually see an overclock registering in screenfetch or anything, but it often will in actual use.
Firstly, OP hasn't empirically verified that his operating system is overriding the changes made in the BIOS at all.
One possibility is that the software he is using in the OS to display the information may simply not be recognizing the changes made.
This seems more likely than the OS overriding the changes made in the proprietary BIOS.
>>52295102
i didn't think of geekbench i'll give it a try
>>52295218
i'll give that a try to and report back later.
>>52295366
>OS overriding the changes made in the proprietary BIOS.
No
lUnix just blows
>>52295358
>stable
It's not stable if it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't work, you fucking imbecile.
Lrn2 statistical significance
>>52295423
this is what i find odd. no matter what, if its done on the bios level, it should just werk.
>>52295441
It's because OP is full of shit

I'll say it again since you haven't addressed it:
OP hasn't empirically verified that his operating system is overriding the changes made in the BIOS at all.
One possibility is that the software he is using in the OS to display the information may simply not be recognizing the changes made.
This seems more likely than the OS overriding the changes made in the proprietary BIOS.
Secondly I'll add that since OP's hardware contains proprietary software - he CANNOT verify that the BIOS itself is not intentionally designed to not function with his *nix OS.
>>52295460
i am the op you responded to.
i find it odd its not showing right in linux.
I'm waiting for OP's bench to test the claim he made about different cpu clock speeds.
>>52295423
>i made claims before i have actual proof
>i was just pretending.
>>52295496
>Implying i care
>>52295483
>But if it only crashes in lUnix..........................
You need to try more than once and run it for a significant duration in time before you can empirically conclude that this is the case.
It sounds like you are experiencing random behaviour and jumping to conclusions, especially because you haven't tried to verify the system settings in anyway at all (as plenty of other people have pointed out).

To be honest the response wouldn't be too different on some linux forums (i.e. arch community). For some reason when a person expresses their concerns with a particular aspect of linux, users somehow perceive that as a direct insult to them and their choice to use linux.
>>52295671
OP said he would do a bench to test it out, so far hasn't delivered.
>>52295710
>To be honest the response wouldn't be too different on some linux forums
To be honest it really would.

This is also a meme. The arch community is nowhere as autistic and childish as /g/ pretends it to be.
>For some reason when a person expresses their concerns with a particular aspect of linux, users somehow perceive that as a direct insult to them and their choice to use linux.
OP started off by saying "Linux sucks" and then started ranting about a bunch of things and showed his ignorance off.
What kind of community would accept an asshole like that with open arms? You will not be taken seriously if go around spouting homophobic slurs, resort to personal attacks and refuse to provide additional information when asked for it.

linux reported 4.5ghz with cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i "cpu mhz"?
what are your bios settings? turbo on / off? c states on / off? manual voltage? adaptive? sync all cores to 45 on?

>>52298502
how so?
>owning Asus

>>52299307
for one it wasn't even needed. cat is used for conCATenating files. He could have saved a process and the overhead of setting up the anonymous pipe without it and just typed grep -i "mhz cpu" /proc/cpuinfo
alright so updated my bios, changed a lot of stuff around, and realized i need speedstep enabled. why i have no clue but enabling it caused it to read 42 multi correctly and set it to 4.2ghz.
problem? i need pstate enabled. pstate performance governor supported 800 - 4200mhz. it runs the processor at 800mhz in pretty much all loads. some loads it will boost to 2ghz, and a few to 3.5ghz. only a few times under extreme heavy loads has it hit 4200mhz.
so i disabled pstate with intel_pstate=disable in my kernel line. it falls back to acpi-cpufreq. problem? its performance governor reads it as 4000mhz. so it always runs at 4ghz. ignores my bios settings completely.
fuck this shit. i guess i'll stick to windows.
>>52299789
Skylake is still very early in linux support. come back in 3 months and see if kernels can't better handle independent voltage and clock changes.
>>52294086
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
