ThrottleStop Multiplier Maxed at 16?

I was trying out throttlestop, because I have never, honestly, never seen my M17x hit 3.2GHz with Turbo Mode for more than a second or two, but when I opened the program I found that I couldn't increase the "Set Multiplier" over 16, when the max multiplier for the i7 920XM is supposed to be 24. Has anyone else had this problem where the throttlestop multiplier wont let you go past a certain amount below what your supposed actual maximum is?

 

Thats because you have to right click to get the Turbo Ration menu And you would see it hit 3.2 if you opened CPU-Z, or even had it under a load with a few threads. It would sit at 3.2 at idle in CPU-Z

 

The way the Intel Core i CPUs work is when you request a multiplier, the most you can request is one more than the default multiplier. The default for a 920XM is the 15 multiplier so using 15+1 (16) tells the CPU to use as much turbo boost as possible. With the Core i7 Extreme CPUs, you can right click on ThrottleStop and adjust how much turbo boost you would like it to use depending on how many cores are in the active state. Adjusting the TDP/TDC upward will also help your CPU maintain full turbo boost when it is fully loaded. These CPUs work a little differently than the Core 2 CPUs but once you get to know them and what ThrottleStop can do to your 920XM, I think you will be very happy with this new technology.
