Hello,

 

I am looking at the turbo boost feature my processor has (6700hq) and I was wondering how do I enable it? And if I can enable it, will my temps be ok? Because on GTA V, I have temps of 64 degrees Celsius on my MSI Ghost Pro 002.

Intel Turbo Boost is enabled by default. It allows for cores to run at higher frequency when they are able to (ie. a single-threaded program is being run). If you want to fiddle with it, you can do so by accessing the BIOS at bootup (press the DEL key when you see the MSI splashscreen).

My current build :

You can enable it in the BIOS, but it should be enabled by default. It wont hurt your temps either.
