Hi, I have an Acer Nitro5 (AN515-52) laptop with an i7-8750H processor and the CPU is always running at its max speed (it's maxed at 3.9GHz on this model). Although I know it's not bad or dangerous for the CPU itself, it makes it constantly run at 70°C so the fans are always spinning loudly and it consumes a lot of power, even when idling. Even worse, when I actually need CPU power, it's already so hot and the fan speeds so high that it almost instantly throttles down to just over its base clock at ~2.5GHz. Previously I was able to change this through Acer's NitroSense software power management options, but it doesn't work anymore, even after reinstalling it. I checked the power management options of windows, and the CPU minimal state is set to a low percentage. Nothing I did so far, either through windows options or third party software helped and the CPU frequency stays constant under very light loads. The only case in which the CPU decreases its speed is if I unplug the laptop, but then it's just locked at base clock... Do you have any idea of what could be causing this behavior ? -
Hi, I have old Asus X55C laptop (chipset HM76) that had i3-2328M that doesn't have Turbo Boost. I replaced it with i7-3540M which has Turbo Boost, but BIOS doesn't have setting for that (to disable or enable Turbo Boost). I have the latest Bios version 409: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/X55C/HelpDesk_BIOS/ Is it possible to "unlock" Turbo Boost settings in BIOS? ------------------------------- Sorry, my English is not good... I "googled" and found that there's something called "BIOS Modding", but it's very advanced and complicated + afaik very risky thing to do (you can easily "brick BIOS"). On the other side, I found two very active forums were people are making requests for "BIOS Modding/Unlocking": users attach their BIOS "dump" there and someone "unlocks" BIOS for them and uploads it there on forum thread (as a reply)... Then, I guess user who has requested "BIOS unlocking" will have to flash BIOS with that "unlocked" version and after that - there will be all settings available in BIOS (?). Maybe I'm wrong, but this looks very risky thing to do... I mean, why would someone do it for free? Is it possible to put some malware in that "unlocked" BIOS? -
I dont know if this is an issue or not but every 1-2 seconds on a balanced power plan my cpu jumps to turbo speed. changing maximum processor state to 99 percent makes the same thing happen but instead it just keeps jumping to base clock speed rather than the turbo clock speed. So when it's enabled every couple of seconds it jumps to 4.28 and when disabled the base clock speed. This occurs even when Im just looking at my desktop and all I have open is this HWinfo64 to check it. It's an i7-8700(non-k) Is it normal to constantly jump up like this? -
Built a small PC recently, using the board from an HP Prodesk 400 G1 MT desktop. I put in an i5-4670, and it's working nicely apart from one thing: turbo boost doesn't work. Using multiple benchmarks, i.e. Cinebench/Prime95, I see that I get up to 3.4ghz at most (even on single core) and it just sits there, even when I should get to 3.6 all core and 3.8 single core. Voltage is at constant 1V, temperature maxes at 45C, but it still stays at 3.4ghz. I tried installing newer chipset drivers, new BIOS, checking BIOS options (there is a turbo boost BIOS option, I tried with it enabled and disabled) and resetting CMOS. XTU says Turbo is enabled, and Turbo state 1 is at 84w while state 2 is at 105w. Making these higher doesn't fix anything. I noticed in XTU while I was benchmarking that it stuck at 50w max TDP instead of going to the actual 84w max. Anybody experience this on an HP board? Is it more likely to be a board issue, or a CPU issue? Any possible fix? Thanks in advance.

Hi all! My 3950x has really weird boost behaviour, in fact it basically doesn't boost at all. The stock base speed is 3.50GHz and should be able to boost to 4.7GHz in single threaded tasks but on start up it boosts to 4.2GHz and then 2 seconds later it drops to 3.78GHz permanently and gets stuck there. I've tried many different single and multi threaded benchmarks and stress test but it's jst stuck at that speed. I've checked all the BIOS settings and it should all be alright, but even when I overclock the base speed to 3.90 GHz then it still does exactly the same thing. I've also tried running my RAM in different speeds. I've checked all my windows 10 power settings and I've tried BIOS versions 1.12, 1.18 and after the problem not being resolved with the newest BIOS I tried 1.17 too but that didn't work either. I hope someone can help me with this cause I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance My specs: - MSI MEG X570 ACE - Ryzen 9 3950X - 4 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3200Mhz - NZXT X73 AIO - MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO 11G - OS drive: Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 500 GB

Hi! I have lenovo ideapad 330-15ich, w10 pro 1909 x64. I just take my pc from lenovo service centre because mainboard is broken (no display). I'm pretty sure the mainboard on the pc is definitly in new condition. I'm checking task manager and it show cpu can barely reach 2ghz in underload condition, even thought using high performance profile and charged. At idle, 2.3ghz. I very confuse because previously it could touch 4ghz without problem. Without thinking, I reinstall my pc and update it. Of course I install all the latest driver. I flash bios too and guest what? No effect whatsoever. I install intel xtu to stress test and it show cpu only draw 0.875v, 16 watt tdp and 85°c tempt. At idle, 44°c. Please help me. I'm sorry if my english bad, I'm Indonesian. Thanks!

does enabling turbo boost affect my system badly ? i'm running an i7-950
-
I have a intel i5-2320, which is 3ghz, but even under 100% turbo boost to 3.3 doesn't activate. In the bios, turbo boost is on, so I don't know what's wrong.

So apparently hexa core models can boost all 6 cores, i5 8400 apparently has 2.8 GHz base clock and 3.8 GHz six core boost, if all cores can boost to 3.8 GHz then why is 2.8 GHz base clock?

Hello LTT community, I bought an HP Z620 workstation with an e5-2680 processor on Ebay. I've been watching the clock speed and cpu temperatures under load using HW Monitor. Under full load it stays at 3.1 GHz and about 50C. It rarely if ever spikes up to 3.4 Ghz for a tiny spit second on maybe one core. Is there something wrong? Full disclosure: I ran this computer with the cpu fan off by mistake (didn't notice the bios setting) for a month. It was getting toasty (78C) and thermal throttling. Is it possible that a software flag was set so that it would be permanently more conservative with turbo boost? Anything I can do? Would reapply the thermal paste or something be a good idea (especially since I got it off Ebay)? Thank you in advance. -
Hi, guys I have a Lenovo laptop with a Core i5 7300HQ and a GTX 1050 Ti and the CPU bottlenecks the GPU a lot in games like GTA V or Battlefield 1. On those games the CPU is always either at 100% or very close to that and only rarely drops down to say 50%. I even ran the GTA V benchmark on this laptop and in a friend's laptop that has a i7 7700HQ and a GTX 1050, and even though his GPU is weaker than mine, sometimes we got very similar FPS because of the bottleneck I have! Anyway, I read somewhere that it could be a good idea to disable 2 of the 4 cores the CPU has so the Turbo Boost can mantain higher frequencies, and thus, perform better in games, since games, usually, benefit more from higher clock frequencies rather than core count at lower frequencies. I opened up msconfig and in the advanced options on the Boot tab, I selected "2" in the "Number of processors", rebooted and then checked in Task Manager and indeed only two cores showed, but the weird thing is that the CPU was LOCKED at 2.5 GHz, which is the base clock and did not change whatsoever... Also the computer was a lot slower, as kind of expected, and I ran a game just to make sure and yes, I had horrible perfomance. So the question is, is there any other way of disabling those 2 cores while still maintaining the Turbo Boost capabilities? Or is all of this just stupid and will I not benefit or if so, ever so slightly that it isn't worth it? To conclude, I'm appalled to see that many laptop manufacturers such as Lenovo, Asus, MSI, Acer, etc, etc, are pairing a GTX 1050 Ti with an i5 7300HQ that CLEARLY, bottlenecks the system... Why the hell would they do that? Thanks in advance!! Cheers. -
im trying to figure out if overclocking with turbo boost on or off is better and if its better to down clock at idle for example overclocking to 4.5 ghz and vcore temp at 1.3xx and have it there at loads and something say maybe 4.0 and 1.2xx temps at idle or is it better to stay at 4.5 1.3xx temps with turbo off at all times for better oc and would with turbo on and down clocking at idle helps with cpu life which one should i go with cause i only want the oc when playing games i dont need it to stream and bs on the internet. -
Hey guys, whenever play BF1 on my Razer Blade 14, the CPU goes to very high temperatures (98 C), causing stutters in-game. This does not happen when I disable intel turbo boost as temperatures stay around 90 C. I used the power management method to disable it by setting "Maximum Processor State" to 99%, however recently this method has stopped working. I don't know if it is caused by a windows update but changing the "Maximum Processor State" does not seem to work until 64%. I found this software called Rightmark PPM, which allowed me to edit an option called "Boost", which helped me disable it, but whenever I unplug my computer from power, it does a BSOD. Is there anyway to fix the Windows Power Management thingy or disable turbo boost. (There's no BIOS option) Oh and it has an Intel i7-4720HQ and a GTX 970M. Yeah the old model...

Hello, I recently upgraded to a 9700k with the aorus ultra motherboard. So far I am happy with it. Although 1 problem I ran cinebench in single core mode and the core only boosted to 4.8ghz not 4.9 like it should any idea why? Temps are also in check at around 60 degrees.

System: Dell Optiplex 3010 SFF, CPU Core i5 3470 3.2 GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 250GB HDD, GPU NVIDIA GT 1030 Issue: on first boot CPU is stuck in Turbo Boost mode (3.55 GHz) when idle, one restart fixes it and the CPU idles at 1.55 GHz. How it came to be: either bios update and loading default settings (less likely), or running Dell SupportAssist software where Tune performance default option messed with system files and registry. (more likely). Tried: loading system defaults on the newest bios, flashing the previous version of bios and loading system defaults, clearing cmos, enabling/disabling Turbo Boost in bios, enabling/disabling Speedstep in bios, switching back and forth from balanced and high performance power mode, running Dell SupportAssist again, uninstalling Dell SupportAssist. Opinion: Dell SupportAssist software messed with registry and system files since even disabling Turbo Boost in bios has no effect but one restart fixes the issue. Suggestions? -
So I recently got a Dell G7 17 (7790) and although I have had a few issues with Dell's preinstalled softwares (which Ive gotten rid of and now its fine) Ive for the most part had no issues with it. I noticed that whilst under loads It was getting hot, very hot. 100 C and above hot. It was an wasy quick fix, intsalled throttle stop and put an undervolt on it (145.5mV) and poof havent seen it get above 90 C since. But, for some reason the boost clocks didnt go up. They stayed at 3.97Ghz which is what I was getting when it was without a undervolt and still very hot. Even through the CPU (i7-9750h) was capable of 4.5Ghz. I see very occasionally a single core spike up to more around that frequency but whenever its actually under a load it stays at 3.97Ghz. Throttle stop's reading is saying that its not reaching any power or thermal limits. So I cant help to wonder what it is. Do any of you guys have an idea?
-
Does Undervolting limit Turbo Boost capabilities? I know it helps with thermal headroom and allows it to boost better and longer. But what Im wondering is will undervolting cause a power limit It feels like such a dumb question but a simple google seach has just been giving me unrelevant information or just really vague answers that dont really answer my question.

Hello guys, I recently bought an Acer Spin 3 SP314-53N convertible laptop for study and editing drone videos on the go. This Model has a Intel Core i7 8565U with 1.8 GHz baseclock and 4,1 GHz all-core and 4.6 GHz single-core turbo-boost. I noticed, that the turbo-boost under synthetical load (AIDA64) as well as under realistic workload (rendering in Adobe Premiere) cranks up to 3.5 to 4.0 GHz for about 20 seconds: Then after 20 seconds the boost descents to 2.5 GHz and stays there for the whole time: The temps in this scenario were slightly over 90 degrees C max. So I did the only right thing and replaced the thermal compound with Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra. I thought this would fix the problem since the CPU would no longer have to thermal throttle the boost. Indeeed I got the temps down to unter 75 degrees C under full load! But still: The boost goes down to 2.5 GHz after exactely 20 seconds of full load and stays there no matter what. This seems to be pre-programmed in the bios. And here`s the next problem: The BIOS offers no useful settings at all. ? I asked the ACER support about this but got nothing useful in return. Only the statement, that the BIOS options are just like this, so that the user can`t "damage the hardware through false settings" and that there is no "unlocked BIOS" available. ? It takes a while for me to give up but I gotta admit I`m stuck here. ? Someone got anything for me? ?

I have a Lenovo G50-70 Laptop with the following config: 1. Intel Core i3 4030U @ 1.9 GHz 2. 16 GB LPDDR3 RAM 3. 240 GB SATA 3 Transcend SSD + 1 TB SATA 3 Toshiba HDD 4. AMD Radeon R5 M230 Discrete GPU 5. Lenovo Lancer 5A2 (U3E1) Motherboard Recently I noticed that my non turbo boostable processor is now shown with that feature enabled in HWinfo software. Also I am unable to turn on virtualization for my pc. Does anyone know anything about this ? I have already tried to update BIOS and tried to disable Hyper V Support in windows. But this didn't fix the issue. Those who know how to fix this please respond ASAP.

Hey all, I hope this is the right place to ask. My i5-4460 never goes above its base clock of 3.2 even when it's 100% utilized. Normally, this isn't a problem, but in battlefield 4 it means I can't keep up a consistent 144 fps (with a gtx 1050ti). I took a look at the bios and turbo boost is enabled, what else should I do? My motherboard is a fujitsu d3230, as it's a used office computer, maybe it doesn't support turbo clock? Thanks for any help!

So I'm working on a MAME (and others) emulator machine that will sit in a stand up cabinet for my dad, picked up some cheap older parts for it and I noticed something that seems strange to me, that processor speed is out of spec by almost 300mhz. This is an H61 board with an i5 2500 non-K (SR00T) with, I can assure you, no adjustments to bclk. I'm not disturbed by this behavior as more performance is always welcome, even for an arcade machine, but I wonder why I'm seeing it boost near 4ghz. After all this is a locked chip that is SUPPOSED to have a base speed of 3.3 with a max turbo of 3.7. I've never seen an intel chip go beyond its rated boost speed without some kind of additional prompting, IE an overclock, which is distinctly not supposed to be possible here. Has anyone seen this before, or have I come across something interesting?

I've got this laptop that is running into some strange issues regarding turbo boost: With a 2 core sustained load the CPU turbos up to 3GHz and used to stay around 2.6GHz to 2.8Ghz (sometimes for days). Now I can't get it to stay above base clock for more than an hour, after which it stays at 1.2GHz regardless of CPU temperature or workload. I am wondering why this has started happening, as it is a relatively new phenomenon that has started occurring within the last few weeks. It's probably worth mentioning what I use this laptop for: Rendering animation/3D scenes created in Blender Exporting/transcoding videos in Adobe Media Encoder Basically anything that requires a large of computation time that I don't want my main computer to be doing while I'm trying to use it. These are the power options power plan is set to High Performance maximum CPU state is set to 100% minimum CPU state is set to 100% System cooling policy is set to active Issue persists when computer is rebooted via Start -> Restart Issue sometimes disappears when computer is rebooted via Start -> Shutdown The CPU temperature never exceeds 100°C. Thanks for reading

I have an notebook with an i5-6300hq and I know that you can´t overclock this processor, but I read that you can make all 4 cores run at the single core boost speed. 1 core 3.2Ghz 2-3 cores 3Ghz 4 cores 2.8Ghz Does anyone know how that works? And before anyone says that my cpu will run to hot it´s only running at 53°C under full load, I think it will be fine. Thanks for helping.

so i have laptop with i5 8250u with mx150 graphics So on other loads turbo boost works fine with 3.4 ghz and sometimes 2.4 ghz, it works fine in game manu in battlefield 1 But as game round starts it goes to base clock of 1.6 ghz and never turbo up. In this case gpu utilization is less then cpu utilization. And fps drops are very high, please provide solution. -
Hello! I have an Ideapad 530s with i5-8250U and MX150 GPU 2GB. By default Turbo boost is always on. But when I start gaming, every game stutters. I checked the temperatures while gaming. The GPU temp was average 65 degrees(C) while the CPU temperatures where between 75(C) to 82(C) most of the with peak temp as 92(only saw that for a sec). When I disabled the Turbo boost by setting maximum processor state to 99% then all the stutters in the games stopped and the temperature was now 66 degrees average. So, any idea how can I fix this issue and also does disabling Turbo boost affect performance of games? EDIT: The system is working fine now. I just had to change my BIOS settings to performance mode to do that. I think Lenovo sneaked this option after BIOS update. Well, I am getting stable FPS, but still after like 1 minute of gameplay the Turbo Boost is turned off automatically and maximum GPU temp is now 67 C instead of 64 C. Can't ask for more now. Thanks to @Samfisher and special thanks @unclewebb.- 25 replies
