Turbo boost

[Pony080905]

I have a i5 4440 it runs at 3.1 ghz and has a boost clock of 3.3 ghz, I have never seen it use the turbo clock, I have it turn on in the bios

It only use the turbo boost when it really need it or it might be  throttling. But i doubt that the 0.2 ghz is important

It only uses Turbo Boost if you're pinning the processor (i.e. running at 100%) and it'll do a little self-overclock.

if turbo hasn't come on you haven't pushed the cpu far to start that

Only when 1-2 cores are actively loaded it will boost, when using 2-3-4 cores properly it will declock to the baseclock.

Only when single threads and such are run it will boost.

 

Without tweaking/changing things it should work this way from default.

It has no turbo boost on 4 cores. On 3 cores it goes to 3.2 GHz and on dual and single core workloads it goes to 3.3 GHz.

So turbo boost doesn't really matter on a 4440 anyways, since the times you'll want it are in games which will be using the full 4 cores. No big deal, that's a hell of a CPU at 3.1 GHz.

^Is what we all meant to say

Okay, I was just wondering, the no boost on 4 cores is probably a thermal thing
