Intel turbo boost 2.0 problems

[Zardari]

hey guys!

 

I am having problem which developed lately , i own a Acer aspire 3 laptop with i3 8130U CPU in it and have been using it since 2018.

Problem is, it has some how disabled the turbo boost on the CPU and there no way i can turn it back on.

there is no thermal throttling, power plans are set to performance only (even the font looks like ****) , no tweaks or tinkering with softwares have i done which would have caused this issue,

and the most mind bogling thing is there is NO OPTION available for it to enable in the BIOS , its just like Bios from 2000.

i have updated every driver in the system even the chipsets, but there is no fruit to it.

 

To get to the root of it , i installed Intel extreme tuning Utility to find out what the problem and VIOLA! here are the pics......

there it was disabled.

 

How ever i found myself a weird solution which enables the turbo boost force fully but boost is disabled if i disabled it manually or shutdown my laptop and i have to enable the turbo boost after every boot up through a software called " QuickCPU" where i go into the advanced settings and enable it.

 

i contacted Acer for this but they were just beating around the bush, before any of this happen laptop was running as a champ boosting to 3.4GHz in games and almost all the time staying at the same boost and when i ever used the android OS, i was also boosting to 3.4GHz but now i can hardly enable it in the windows 10 but there is not way to turbo boost  on the Android OS only monitor the boost.

now it does not even turbo boost in any task even it's 100% utilization it stays at 2.2GHz unless i use the tweak by QuickCPU.

the temps are good due to decent thermal design.

i am sorry for my English!

 

i just want my laptop to turbo boost automatically like it used to do!

 

please guys help!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here are some more pics of that weird software hack! before and after (the EDP graph is only one turning yes or yellow)

That indicates that your CPU doesn't support Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0, not that Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 is turned off. Go to "All Controls" and check if turbo boost is enabled there.

of course it doesn't support boost 3.0 because it's a 8th gen CPU but i am not that much of a computer knowledgeable so i don't know what does " all control " mean.

it would be appreciated if you tell me where it is!

oh i got it!  here are the pictures before and after the software tweak!

Well you've got a current limit throttling warning now, but seeing as you've got the clock speed you're after that doesn't seem like a big deal. Glad you've got your clock speed back now, whatever it was that caused it.

That's the tweak man, i have to enable it after every boot which is pain in the arse!,  i want it as before to boost automatically and see the turbo boost is disabled even i got the clock speeds, plus i can't get these boost clocks in linux which hurts the performance.

 

BTW thanks for bearing with me till now , if you decide to ramp it up.

 

i have to continue the search for cure XD

Have you tried resetting or updating the BIOS?

i reset the bios and i updated it but the same crappy BIOS from 2000's.

but nothing, its like suddenly CPU forgot it has turbo boost feature.
