Just checked my BIOS.
EIST was already turned off, and I'm pretty sure it's been off since 2011, when I bought this CPU. My temperatures never exceed 30*C when idle. Can you clarify what you mean? What exactly does EIST and Turbo Boost do? I'm currently running at 4.5GHz (I overclocked a bit more yesterday) @ 1.375volts. The voltage seems a bit high for a SandyBridge based processor, but I'm using fan cooling so I'd rather not exceed 4.2GHz anyway.
