The E2-2697 v2 should hit 3.5 ghz turbo, but Linux reports that max frequency is 3000.
Oddly, in the BIOS on my Supermicro X9DRI-LN4F+ the speed is reported as 2700, which is the correct 'base' speed, but when I enter the "socket" submenu in advanced->cpu configuration, I see that 2700 is actually listed as the max speed, and 1200 the minimum. Those settings can't be changed, and I can't see anywhere to set a multiplier, nonetheless, it does hit 3ghz according to Linux.
Supermicro's product page for the board says it must have at least bios version 3.0 to support the V2 chips, and mine has 3.4, released in 2019, 5 years after the CPU.
I've google around for a while and can't seem to find anyone with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I notice that when the cpus are at or near idle, for some reason a few cores will exceed 3.0 ghz. I've seen close to 3.3 ghz on one core, at one point, for no obvious reason. However, once I start ./cpu_intensive_process, all cores go to between 2992.869 and 2992.879 mhz.
