I understand that the E5 2696 v3 is the OEM version of the E5 2699 v3 and I am wondering how do I go about achieving the max turbo frequency? From the intel specs it seems this chip have a max turbo of 3.8Ghz when less than 11 cores are loaded, but 3.6 Ghz when all cores are loaded. I've never seen such speed in task manager and the highest frequency I've seen is just under 3.1 Ghz.

Is there any special settings or adjustment in the bios that I have to do in order to let the chip reach its max turbo frequency?
