Could use some help on keeping EIST running on my current OC so I'm not stressing the chip 24x7. I'm running an i7 5820k and the MSI X99 SLI motherboard with the newest BIOS @4.2 with 1.2v. I'm stressing now, but we're stable after 2 hours. Anyhow, I can't seem to keep the 4.2 boost when EIST is enabled, it drops down to 3.4 as the base default. The motherboard doesn't give me a turbo boost multiplier option unless I can't find it, rather I'm just upping the multiplier and it keeps the OC, if EIST is disabled and I set the multiplier to be static.

I'd prefer if I could keep EIST on to conserve power and CPU life. This is my first iteration with x99, so looking for some help.

Another note just looking at my settings, that the voltage is also set to override at 1.2, I didn't want it to be adaptive and have it run higher. CPU mode is set to fixed right now at 42
