BIOS tweaks
#1
I would welcome anyone's input about BIOS settings that might improve SQ. Meanwhile, I'm trying some myself and have a question or two relating to under-clocking the CPU; i7-7700T in my case.

With Intel Speed Step (EIST) enabled, my BIOS shows the CPU running at 800MHz. I know that under load it could step up to 2.9GHz (and if I enabled Turbo, it could go further to 3.6GHz). I'd like to find out what frequency it is actually using when Snakeoil is running and music playing. In "Dashboard" on the web interface, Snakeoil shows it as still running at 800MHz and this remains the same, even when I refresh the page while playing hi res files. So my first question is whether that Dashboard frequency reading is live (at least when I refresh page) or is it not really a reflection of the CPU frequency in use at the time?

Cheers,
JD
