Yes, Auto and Default are the same. My motherboard is from MSI so some of the terminology is different. If you are taking your CPU temperature readings from sitting in the BIOS settings screen they will show higher than from inside Windows. Mine shows 34-35° and when I reach Desktop with my pump and fans running at full speed the temp drops to 22-23°.

Thank you for the heads up! I did not realize that was even possible! Full speed fans drops the temps that low?! I am really new at custom built pcs! Thank you! I will definitely do that when I find the usb connector for my DVD burner!

You were right about the temps being different in an OS! I used Core Temp 1.0 RC9 to check the temps on the cores, and CPU-Z for stress testing for approximately 5 minutes! My overall temp was 58.2C or 59C! I did not have to change anything on the BIOS/UEFI screen! Thank you so much! My question is, why are the temps so different when viewing through an OS and BIOS/UEFI screen! Thank you so much for everything! I appreciate you guys a lot! I am going to try Blender for a little while, and see what comes of it!

Possible that the efficiency options are only available at the OS level and not UEFI.  Just my guess.
 
Someone with a some software engineering experience may have better insight on the 'why' aspect of it.

I don't think my pump or fan speed profiles kick in until after POST. Before POST completes they only operate at the default 60%. Just my obsevation on the matter.

Zuhl3156 when you say ring multiplier is that the same as ring ratio ?

Yep, same thing. I have mine locked at 40 as you will see from benchmark results in Darkwizzie's guide the Ring or Uncore speed gives little or no boost in performance.

Ok i have mine locked in at 44 . Here's another guide  http://overclocking.guide...ls-canyon-socket-1150/
 

44 will work. I saved that link and will have to read it later. Thanks. Maybe I can get my Uncore up to 44 without too many stability problems. I keep forgetting I OC'd to 4.7 GHz last week. I only makes a difference in benchmark PhysX scores so I normally run at standard factory 4.4 GHz overclock except I make it all 4 cores instead of 1 or 2 from Intel. 4.4 GHz is plenty fast enough IMO.

After a little more tweak'n got it stable 4.7 @ 1.24V
