I was asking how much space is filled on the drives not the total capacity

But I meant minimum, not maximum.
The minimum is at 100% too.

Also there are a lot of cases on the market that will support more than 6 drives but you have to buy expensive addons to able todo it. my case is similar. can support up to 7 3.5 drives but only 2 out of the box.

Windows doesnā€™t English lol
Also what @dje4321 said. It controls turbo afaik.
Why you wouldnā€™t just do that through the bios is beyond me but windows logic I guess rofl

most people dont use alot of 3.5" drives. you can get cases with 12+ 3.5" drive support but anything beyond 5-6 you should really look into some kind of NAS solution as it will produce less case heat and draw less power

its mostly for laptops where power/performance matters. Will control voltage, cpu speed and even FSB speed iirc

But itā€™s OCed beyond the regular turbo clocks, shouldnā€™t that ā€œdisableā€ the turbo function?

Thereā€™s a setting in the bios to disable turbo if you donā€™t enable/disable it OCing changes both the base and turbo clocks.

Would be a neat NAS case.

You have drives with more used space than the total storage in my system

I had to do this once when my intel stock cooler died. disabled turbo on the motherboard and downvolted the cpu like crazy. still didnā€™t help much.

I have my FX-8320E running at 4.5GHz 24/7

And I already re-did my movies rips with H265 to shave off a few gigs per file (not that it matters with 1080p anime filling up the majority of my storage).
The WD Elements are just for backups.

Highest clocked machine I have running 24/7 is my server but only at its max turbo of 3.90Ghz, I do run my 1700 24/7 at 3.8GHz 1.35V though.
