Unfortunately no, I am unable to improve that last processor but I am still working on things.

Does that mean that "HT assist" was already disabled in the BIOS?

These are the other settings I have in the processor settings:

HT assist: Disabled
Core Performance Boost Mode:  Enabled
Processor HPC mode: Disabled
C1E: Enabled

No luck getting TurionPowerControl working either.

I have discovered that TurionPowerControl binary can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/mh0rst/turionpowercontrol/releases

Just download the tpc-0.44-rc2.tar.gz file (or tpc-0.44-rc2.zip) and unzip it.

In the tpc-0.44-rc2/bin/Ubuntu-amd64 folder you will see the TurionPowerControl binary


I pulled down the turionPowercontrol but getting this error when I run it:

sudo ./TurionPowerControl -dram
TurionPowerControl 0.44-rc2 (tpc-0.44-rc2-r144)

Also, I can't run the benchmark without using --softAes. Why is that? I see your logs show hardware AES. Is that something in the bios I need to setup?

Also, Getting this error:
