So by no boost, you mean XFR is disabled? If so, what settings in the BIOS are you disabling?
As to the 1700, all the reviewers are saying likewise. But let me say again, I suspect many of these benchmarks are too good as they are from 1800X and 1700Xs that were Nerfed to fulfill inventories. I could be wrong, but time will tell very soon when we start seeing more folks with 1700s that simply won’t OC that high.
@Sensai
Those are very nice results at stock. Do you mean to say that TWO cores had XFR Boost?
