G560 Turbo Boost

Hello,
I have a g560 with i5-450m, 4gb ram, 320 gb hard drive with 2.02 bios.
I know that the i5-450 has the turbo boost technology, but how
do i enable it in the bios? I checked out the bios but didn't find anything
that allows me to enable the feature, unless I missed it...

Hello,
Intel TurboBoost FAQ : http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/cs-029908.htm
How is Intel® Turbo Boost Technology enabled or disabled?
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is usually enabled by default by a switch in the bios where you can either enable or disable operation. Other than this, there are no user controllable settings to change Intel® Turbo Boost Technology operation either in the hardware settings or operating system. Once enabled, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology works automatically under operating system control.

My guess is that it's on by default in the BIOS. On the other hand it's not a bad idea to check via software, like above, to see if it's working or not. Please check and report back, edit subject to (SOLVED) if all is sunny.

  • 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.

    Yes, your CPU does have it.

  • Z77a-gd65 intel i5 2500k intel turbo boost

    I have just upgraded to z77a-gd65 for my Intel I5 2500 k

    The problem is the Intel turbo boost is acting strange it is shooting up to 8. GHz which can't be possible.
    The other thing is my 12 volt is saying it down to 11.889 ish never had any of these problems with the last motherboard which was a p67a-gd65 b3
    And no overclock want to just use oc genie but worried with it saying 8. GHz

    I can't remember what the + or - voltage variation is for +12V, but I don't think it is anything to be concerned about. Try a couple other utilities to check the CPU speed and temp/voltages. CPUID's CPU-Z and H/W Monitor are good ones.

  • 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.

  • Experiment and conclusion on notorious Bios and turbo boost related issue.

    Hi everyone,
    Like everyone here, I suffered from the turbo boost issue and I decided to find a practical way to solve this problem,so .I conducted some experiments trying to find out the relationship between power strategy, graphic type, booting power source and the CPU frequency.. Here are my results:
    Variable: Power strategy for AC/BAT: Max/Balanced, Max/Max(didn't try for balanced AC power strategy)
                   Graphic type: Integrated, discrete and Nvidia Optimus
                   power source when the machine booted(BAT,AC)
    Testing model: W520 42762QU i7-2720QM Quodro2000M 16G Crucial M4 128G, 500G HDD, BIOS1.30

    Notice the '800-2400' state, it is a special situation when CPU-Z occationally gives me a speed of approx 2400 when I tried some head-load programs, which lasted about few seconds and the frequencies went back to 800 or 1500(in most cases, 800) when I closed the program.
    Conclution:
    1. power stratagy will not influnce the cpu frequency.
    2. booting power source and graphic types will do.
    3. I'm sick and tired of pluging and unpluggin my W520.
    4. I'm not a fan of Nvidia Optimus.
    5. Lenovo did a terrible job on this issue.
    6. I expect a same result for Bios 1.26
    Practical solutions:
    1.When you need a powerful W520, use Discrete graphic and plug your AC while booting.
    2, For a longer battery life, use integrated graphic, and if you wan't to plug the AC, please turn off your machine and boot again.(not rebooting!)
    Thank you for reading my post and sorry for my bad english

    SomeOtherGuy:
    Thanks very much for keeping us all informed about the "work in progress" on the BIOS and the Turbo-thing.  That is thoughtful of you and will (hopefully) cut down on the amount of carping and complaining about this issue.

  • Turbo boost problem for DV6-2170ee with Windows 7 Proffessional SP1 32 bit

    hello every body,
    For:-
    HP DV6-2170ee with I7 720 qm processor
    System: Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 bit
    I have a strange problem, while i am working on battery processor can boost up to 2.6 but when i connect it to the Ac adpater charger, no boost is there?!!!!
    Checked through internet and did the following:-
    1-update the bios.
    2-check power option and use the same settings as in battery mode.
    3-observe processor temperature through CPUID HWmonitor, it's almost 65 lower than 67 in the battery case.
    4-searched allover the whole internet google .. yahooo ...
    5-Each time i try to install the SP50038 which is the driver for the inter turbo boost, it gives an error message "your pc doesn't meet the minimum requirement"
    TIll the moment no solution, could you please help me ?
    Thank you for your time ans i hope to receive solutions soon ..
    Thanks in advance ;-)
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    To answer your last question first, the Turbo Boost Technology Driver is only intended for processors with an integrated GPU - the i7-720QM does not have this.
    More difficult is why you observe no Turbo Boost on AC Power.
    Try the following.
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as soon as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    When windows has reloaded, download and install the Turbo Boost Technology Monitor from Intel on the following link and see what this shows.

  • Core i7-2720QM on Macbook pro 2011: Turbo Boost doesn't work! It's possible?

    I test my core speed with MacCPUID that show real time cpu frequency. I try it in normal condition and running extreme application. Everytime my cpu frequency is something like 2.199 - 2.200 but never more than 2.200 ghz.
    So I have to think that Turbo bost is not active on macbook pro and all the things in apple website about this feature are false!
    Is it possibile? Who knows something more about this?
    Greetings,
    Stefano

    Yes, there is Turbo Boost active on all MacBook Pros. There is no real way to measure turbo boost unless you're in BootCamp, using Intel's Turbo Boost Monitor. The Intel website states that not all CPU measuring software will correctly display the turbo frequency because it's either not current, or doesn't support turbo boost. If you have BootCamp installed go ahead and search Intel Turbo Boost Widget. download, and install it, this will give you correct results. You can't really measure turbo in OS X.

    I own a msi ge70 2oe ssd version.Turbo boost is not working.
    Notebook is on high performance or balanced mode doesn't matter it only goes 2.4 ghz max.(Max gpu %100)I tested max cpu clock rate in Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool and cpu-z while playing battlefield 4.
    Bios version 1757IMS.516
    Firmware version 1757EMS1.506
    Battery plugged and ac adapter plugged in.

    The reason it probably goes to 3.x GHz right away and then drops rather quickly to 2.4 GHz is most likely due to heat. 97C is getting close to the Tmax for the processor, and it's probably throttling back the CPU in order to keep it from being hurt.
    Most likely you need to open the notebook up and replace the heatsink compound on the CPU and GPU (89C is rather hot IMHO for the GPU).
    Or you can contact MSI and do an RMA.
    >>How to contact MSI.<<
    So you are saying that there is no another solution for this issue?

  • Sustaining "Turbo Boost" on i5-2520 in Windows 8

    I purchased an x220 last August and recently took advantage of the Microsoft offer for Windows 8 that if you purchased it within a certain range of period you can buy the upgrade for $14.99.
    Everything seems to be working fine so far with a huge learning curve.  But I missed the "turbo boost" enable/disable button that came in lenovo's power management.
    In my windows 7, I was able to go into power management, turn up the slider to more performance oriented and click the "Turbo Boost" to enable it when I play games.  But now, it is missing, and the turbo boost meter I downloaded seems to throttle up and down which cause fps decreases in the game itself.
    I understand that Windows 8 applications and drivers are still in the works from reading this forum.  And that only the power management driver is available for window 8 and not the application.  However, is there some way to switch the turbo boost to max everytime I play games?

    Check BIOS settings first.
    Also make sure 'Max Processor State' is set to '100%' in your active power plan.

  • Mobo not allowing Intel Turbo Boost

    Hey,
    I build my own pc like 2 month ago and I'm experiencing problems with Turbo Boost. It was enabled when I got it and after a few days it was gone. The whole option wasn't there in the bios. Later i flashed the bios cause i messed something up and it was available again! So I enabled it again and now It isn't available anymore. Do any of you guys have an idea how to fix this?

    Nope it won't.
    Leave voltages etc at Auto as CPU should handle this without modifications.
    However if you're running stock cooler, run an Intel Burn Test once you change the clock to see if it doesn't go too high than it does with the stock speed.
    I am running my non-k i5 4670 at 3.8ghz and I had to manually change the speed, as there was nothing like Intel Turbo Boost
    On 3.5 ghz i reach max 90 degrees while stressing :/
    So I don't think 3.9 is reachable on stock cooler right?

  • INTEL Turbo Booster Device won't start on dv8t 1000 laptop

    HP Analysis and device manager show this problem. Driver tests up to date.
    What does this meaan and how do I correct it?

    This is Turbo Boost Driver installing incorrect. The driver installation should have failed with Error 'This Computer does not meet the minimum requirement for installing this software'...
    The TurboBoost Driver is required for Intel i5 and i7 Series Processors with Integrated Graphics on them...This Driver helps in 'TurboBoost' Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) Frequancy....Intel's Core i7-720QM, i7-740QM,i7-820QM and i7-840QM Processors, do not have Integrated Graphics on them...So this driver is not required... And The Processor TurboBoost feature works with Yellow Bang in device manager. Check below screenshot....So you can safely ignore the Yellow Bang for above stated processors.
