Dv7 turbo boost and temperature question

I have the core i7 2630QM @ 2.0 ghz with turbo boost up to 2.9 ghz. My question is, even while running prime95 (all 8 threads at 100% usage), cpu-z says the processor only gets up to 2.6 ghz. Now its not really a big deal because even at that speed almost nothing can max it out, im just curious why its not getting all the way up there.
And now its time to discuss temperature...even after just 15 mins of prime95, all 4 cores of my cpu were up to 80 degrees celcius and the motherboard sensor said 82...that's rather high isnt it? While im gaming all temps hover at around 70 or 75 degrees...is that near the danger zone? I appreciate any answers! thanks

I don't think there is any way to turn these off. The processor will use hyperthreading and powerboost automatically depending on the load on the CPU and whether it needs hyperthreading and powerboost. Powerboost is used for heavy graphics if I'm not mistaken.

Turbo Boost and Eco buttons don't work on MSI GX660R 060US

When I try to download the Turbo boost driver, I get the following error:
" This computer does not meet the minimum requires for installing the software".
Help! How can I get the Turbo Boost and Eco buttons to work?

install sbar and nvidia oc tool to make the turbo button work. As of intel turbo boost there is no such driver or software because its purely dos based not os the intel boost will kick in when you have some free core to boost in.. as of eco mode pls descrIbe more

Hyper-V stopped turbo boost and cpu park on my intel 4702mq processor?

Hi I just got my lenovo thinkpad e540(core i7 4702mq ,256 hyper-x ssd, nvidea geforce 2gb...)
I installed windows 8.1 and server 2012 r2 to separate personal and business use.
The cpu was running at many speeds to preserve battery life (between 0.7ghz and 3.2ghz on turbo boost). After installing the hyper-v role, the speed in task manager is stale at 2.19ghz and
all the cores are not being parked even when the system is idle, is this a bug or that's just how virtualization work??
Thanks!!

Performance mode probably means having higher voltages or higher "optimized" settings to run the system. Fail safe mode already spelt out its intentions to keep the system from failing.
For details, you can contact MSI for more information.
As I stated in my first post, I carefully went through all of the BIOS settings and the only thing I could find different between 'default' and 'optimized' is the setting for 'Intel Turbo Boost'.
I will post a question on the BIOS board about any other differences, but until then my original question remains...
...does anyone know of any problems (and hopefully FIXES) with the P55-GD80 and Intel Turbo Boost?

Speedstep or Turbo Boost and Logic CPU Meters

I'm currently weighing up selling my remainding outboard synths and going the plugin route, so last night i loaded logic up with as many plugins as i would normally use in the equivalent of hardware audio tracks to get an idea on CPU Usage, Heat build up etc. (I run on a macbook pro in clamshell to external monitor).
Just to note, i don't normally run with the CPU meter displayed so this is all quite new to see what's going on under the hood, especially as i was making a point to watch it.
What i noticed was that the CPU meter went up very quickly to about 20-30% across all cores after the initial plugins that i loaded up.. But after that point i could load several audio units and record with them, yet they were using nowhere near the same kind of overhead the initial few used.... Dare i say it, they were hardly noticable on the load.
Now, i know that intel processors have had speedstep in the past which would slow your cpu down until the demand was there, and i'm aware that the modern cpu's have Turbo Boost which increases the core speed if required.
So, what i'm curious to know is that do plugins generally cache and have less draw on a system in multiples, or is this a case of my CPU ramping up it's capability the more i pushed it?

hey fmortz,
could you go to > http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70498

Go to Solution.

Sure you are correct. A SSD drive will be better and I will get to it perhaps. The turbo module era came and went rather rapidly especially because of the others complicating technologies such as AF and the poor attention given to the necessary drivers. I am just curious if the Middletion BIOS allowing SATA II or III (not sure) on the AF HDD (1 and 1.5 Terabytes are), which are suppose to be compliant, does improve performance on them.
In:
http://t61.wikispaces.com/
there is no reference to that.
Thanks for your comment.

IMac (early 2009), 3.06 GHz, ATI 4850 - fan speed and temperature questions

Well, so I downloaded and installed Temperature Monitor and iMac Fan Control - mainly for observational purposes and not for toying around with the fan speeds and I've got some questions. Mind you, I haven't tampered at all with the fan speed settings, just installed Fan Control. Here are my readings (while browsing the internet with Safari and doing a chat via iChat):
Fan Speeds:
CPU fan (desired) 1300 RPM / (current) 1530 RPM
HD fan (desired) 2100 RPM / (current) 2099 RPM
DVD fan (desired) 1300 / 1298 RPM
Temperatures:
CPU Heatsink: 92°F
Internal HD: 108°F
Internal DVD: 95°F
GPU Heatsink: 107°F
Are these, under the circumstances, normal readings?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Your welcome and no problem. I would say only the Apple engineers can tell you why the fans are set to those speeds however my best guess is the obvious they found those speeds the closest to keeping the temps at an optimum operating temperature. I found when I'm doing graphics intensive work my machine heats up but quickly cools down when I'm done.

Memory and temperature questions

Hi y'all !!
Due the problems I'd suffered from the MSI 875P Neo LSR board, I've decided to buy a new mainboard.
I've chosen the MSI 865PE Neo2 PFISR, the platinum edition.
I'm running my memory (see sig) by SPD-timings, at 2.7V and at Ultra-Turbo(MAT). I've got DOT disabled.
During the POST it shows under the amount of installed RAM: "Dual Channel, Liner Mode".
What does that mean?
Also, I see in Sandra and Aida that PAT is deactivated? I thought that MAT is PAT?
My memory bandwith is also dissapointing.
With the 875P mainboard it was in Aida32: Read= 5341 MB/sec, Write= 2335 MB/sec.
Now it is: Read= 4712 MB/sec, Write= 2201 MB/sec.
Can it be that PAT is deactivated?
I also noticed an enormous increase in CPU-temp.
The 875P mainboard gave me a nice idle temp of 35C, and with this mainboard it's like 49C idle.
I've checked the amount of thermal grease, and it was just fine.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance .
Regards Arjan

well, really man, 52°C full load is nothing to worry about. my temps (full load) are always around 60°C and thats totaly okay for these CPUs. and the difference between idle and full load temps is never just 3 degrees so you better check those readings.
if you set your performance mode to ultra turbo in the BIOS it should be "enabled" in CPU-Z, when you're running your rig @ stock speeds. i think that it deactives itself when you oc past a certain mark (220MHz or so). but MAT is worth up to 400 points in 3dmark01, so its really a good thing.
but i really wonder, why you people are so touchy about sandra memory bandwidth scores... i havent noticed any "real life!" (gaming, editing, benching) performance increase, with higher bandwidth. even running memory in dual channel has done nothing compared to having only half the MB size and single channel.

Once and for all: Hyper-threading, turbo boost on Core i5 MBA?

Hey, all.
There is a lot of conflicting information on whether the new Core i5 MacBook Airs (as opposed to the upgraded Core i7 options) support hyper-threading. As best I can gather, there is still no "official" Apple statement on the subject. I thought I'd gin up another conversation in the event someone has more definitive information. In case anyone wants a fresh bit of provocation, earlier today I asked one of Apple's online "Live Chat" experts. Here's what she said:
The Core i7 offers Triple Channel memory, hyper-threading, and full dual 16x video bandwidth.
But the i5 doesn't offer the TurboBoost or hyperthreading.
You would have to do the upgrade to the i7 for that.
Agree? Disagree?

Here is a comparison of the three processors used for the 2011 MBA.
It would appear that the i5 does have Turbo Boost (and Hyperthreading), unless Apple's specification calls for disabling TB.
But, if we look at some of the benchmark testing, the results would seem to imply that the specification only differs by the differences shown in these charts, hence Turbo Boost would be evident across all the Airs.

MBA2012 cpu multiplier wrong and no turbo boost in Windows7

MBA2012 Corei 7 2.0GHz/ MEM 8GB / SSD 128G.
core i7 3667U, it support turbo boost, max multiplier 3.2GHz (x32, 2core), or 3.0GHz(x30, 1core).
but check cpu-z 1.60.1.x64, it reports cpu multiplier x8 or x19.
core speed does not rearch 2.0GHz(x20) and can not turbo boost.

It is assumed in the model CTO in the initialisation of the MSR in EFI, is to set the Target P-State and 19 at the time of turbo boost, and the root cause of the bug (I originally set 32 is correct).
As a temporary workaround, in the application of the Throttle Stop, but it was confirmed that Turobo Boost working effectively, then, I tried to examine the state of the MSR at the before and after application of the Throttle Stop.
As a result, the following was found.
• The CTO model EIST, Turbo Boost is enabled.
• However, in the CTO model, Target P-State is closed when the Turbo Boost is set to 19-fold. Therefore, (Current P-State) can not be set to at least 19-fold magnification of the CPU.
• When you execute the Throttel Stop, so that can be set to 32 times the Target P-State of Turbo Boost, will be able to raise up to 32 times also (Current P-State) magnification of the CPU.
In fact, before and after execution of the Throttle Stop, appears similar to the following and see the state of the MSR. (The value of the MSR, Save Report(.TXT) of the "About" → "Tools" of CPU-Z in the, you can see)
CPU Throttle Stop before) cpu multiplier 19 (max cpu multiplier 19)
MSR 0x000001A0 0x00000000 0x00850089
MSR 0x00000198 0x00001CD2 0x00001300
MSR 0x00000199 0x00000000 0x00001300
⇒ enable EIST, enable TurboBoost, the current P-State 19, the target P-State 19
CPU Throttle Stop after) cpu multiplier 30 (max cpu multiplier 32)
MSR 0x000001A0 0x00000000 0x00850089
MSR 0x00000198 0x000021A0 0x00001E00
MSR 0x00000199 0x00000000 0x00002000
⇒ enable EIST, enable TurboBoost, the current P-State 30 , the target P-State 32
From the above, CTO model, at the time of initialization when the switch to Windows, it would have been set to 0x1E (0x00001E00: DEC
19) is target Performance State Value is IA32_PERF_CTL of MSR in the BootCamp is a cause of trouble, 0x20 (0x00001E00:DEC 32) you can determine it because it does not, and has been a state that does not increase the magnification was also an attempt to invoke the turbo boost when under load.
Core i5 In the standard model, so go up 26 multiplier, probably should be the value of the following.
MSR 0x00000199 0x00000000 0x00001A00

Intel Turbo Boost-Overcloacking

I have hp envy notebook pc with intel core i7 4700mq proccessor and i want to know how to enabled turbo boost ?
Can i overclock the proccessor to the max frequency ?

turbo boost is just enabled unless disabled in the BIOS. There is no way to overclock your laptop. You can install this little app to track the turbo boost and be sure it is working:

P67-gd65 sata and voltage question

For starters, this board is updated to the newest bios I found in the download section. The sata question is that, no matter if I use IDE or AHCI, I can only see my SDD and HDD if I have them plugged in to the white ports. The normal black ports don't show anything.
The second thing is about voltage. Is there any way to stop my voltage from rising during heavy CPU usage? It's really annoying to set it at 1.33v and then it goes up to 1.37v. I have everything manually set in the bios and the vdroop is on low. Is there anything else i'm missing? Thanks.
Edit: Turbo Boost and EIST are also off as well.

As mentioned, as long as it doesn't fluctuate or exceed past 1.400v's, it should never be a problem as far as component lifespan & longeveity are concerned. It may be best to open a ticket with MSI Tech Support & ask them about why the voltage reacts as it does & is set up that way. http://support.msi.com/
Quote
My SSD and HDD were in SATA 2 on the old motherboard, now this one will only work on SATA 3.
I would be suspicious of the Intel SATA II Controller being faulty within the chipset. Especially if no type of device, HDD or ODD works in those ports. Another thing to ask Tech Support about.
As a side note, it gets confusing sometimes when seeing the nomenclature SATA 2 & 3, as these are regarded as SATA connection ports on a mainboard.

Disable turbo boost

I've enabled turbo boost and now don't seem able to disable it - anyone help? (w520)

Hi Tinysally,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Intel Turbo Boost is very useful in certain situations, especially if you’re doing “heavy” computational work. Intel Turbo Boost Technology is usually enabled by default. You can disable and enable the technology through the BIOS if you have an option listed there. Once enabled, Intel Turbo Boost Technology works automatically under operating system control.
To disable Intel turbo boost within Windows, try the below fix.
Go into Power options (Control panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options) and click Change plan settings near your plan.
Then click on Change advanced power settings.
Scroll down to Processor power management and expand it.
Expand Maximum processor state and modify both on battery and Plugged in to 99%.
Then simply click Apply and OK.
Also please make sure, that Minimum processor state is not greater than Maximum processor state (in this case - 99%), because this fix won’t work. I suggest you to set it to 5% or so.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Permanently Disabling Turbo Boost

I currently use the following command to disable Turbo Boost, and it works:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
I would like this to be permanent, each time I boot this setting is lost. I've found plenty of articles online with how to disable this exactly as I have done above, but can't seem to find any information on how to make this "stick." There is no setting in my BIOS for disabling Turbo Boost, so I must rely on some sort of Arch tweak to keep it disabled. Is there a way to make this permanent?

I've already "read the wiki" and neither of the two links posted above are relevant to my question. One of them even says that it may not work with "sys" devices. I've been researching this all day, and thought maybe someone here could help me. I should've known better.
Sometimes I wonder what the point is in volunteering to answer questions in a forum, but only to make "RTFM" posts. If your heart is not in it, then why do it? This is very sad. My recommendation is to automate the process and write forum scripts to automatically post RTFM replies for you, it may save you guys a lot of time. I bet no one would even notice the replies were coming from bots.
Anyway, I'm unsubscribing from this thread.

Does my mid 2011 macbook air have turbo boost?

what is turbo boost and does my mac have it? all answers are appreciated
thnx guys

TurboBoost is an elevation of clock speed to help speed up certain tasks. It momentarily switches the processor to a single core running at a faster speed. It does so in an effort to manage speed and energy efficiency.
