How to enable Intel turbo boost?

[Teemo4Life]

I5-4670 can go up to 3.8

 

do I have to enable something in the bios then what. Will it automatically go up to 3.8?

Your bios should set intel turbo boost straight out of the box, you can check in the bios to make sure though, where the setting is located depends on your motherboard. It's usually under turbo mode or something

Does it stay at 3.8 unless I disable it?

No, it turbo boost when the power is needed.

I have enough watts

I mean, when the CPU has a lot of work to do, it increases the clock and when the CPU finishes, it deacreases the clock to the base clock.

As in, you play a game and your cpu will push more power through your system. If you look to have your cpu to run at a higher clockspeed, then overclock it.

Turbo boost will only be enabled if this factors are in place:

1) Reasonable Temps (Otherwise throttling will occur)

2) Enough Power being drawn from the PSU

3) Power requirement (What application are you running that would utilize that clock speed? No CPU runs at full throttle 100% of the time unless you tell it to.)

Turbo boost enables a processor to increase its maximum running frequency when required by a demanding program, so long as it remains within both thermal and power limits. Turbo boost is turned on by default when loading optimized defaults for the processor when assembled. When not in use, the chip will downclock itself back to its "base" clock using less power and generating less heat.

Turbo boost is already pre enabled along with the computer. There is no way to boost turbo boost as it enables most significantly when a single core is used only.

I believe a simpler form of explaining it would be that, instead of using 4 fully powered cores, the CPU focuses on one, and improving it's power delivery and temporary overclocks it.
