Turbo Boost Issue on DV6T-3100 CTO

I've bought a new HP DV6T-3100 CTO laptop and im trying to install Turbo Boost Technology driver (downloaded on HP Website) on Window 7 Professional x64.
But i got an error like this "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
Somebody told me that my cpu doesn't have turbo boost but i read on HP Website that my CPU has the max turbo : 2.8Ghz
So, can i use this core speed 2.8Ghz or just 1.6Ghz if i can't install Turbo Boost Driver ?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Turboboost is a feature which you cannot enable or disable it. Its activated when OS requests for it. Download the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Monitor from here and see how this features gets automatically active on the Notebook. 
There is a support document available at below link explaining what and how Turboboost feature works

  • Qosmio X500-134 - Intel turbo boost issue

    Toshiba stated that Qosmio X500-134 with the standard clock speed of 1.73GHz with the intel processor can get a clock speed of 2.93GHz with intel turbo boost.
    I have downloaded and installed the intel turbo boost monitor widget while running loads of applications at once and still turbo boost does not start or work :S,
    There is no feature to enable this in the bios which I have the latest version 2.60,
    I would like help thanks.

    Hey,
    As Akuma wrote, Intel turbo boost will only be activated if its really necessary and the application requires more CPU power. Otherwise the notebook will still run with lower CPU speed.
    So test it with a high CPU usage application again!

  • HP Pavilion DV6t-3100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade hard drive to SSD and windows 8?

    I want to upgrade my hard drive (WDC WD6400BEVT-60A0RT0) to SSD for faster performance AND upgrade to Windows 8. How should I proceed? Which should come first?
    I am not very knowledgeable about these things, but I have changed hard drives before -- never an SSD though. Never had BIOS problems in these changes, so never bothered with it either. No experience about that. I am practically illiterate about that part.
    What should I be careful about? Any SSD drive would work? Would BIOS (F.29) and motherboard (144A 65.38) be relevant? How should I choose my new SSD?
    Do I absolutely need to clone C: drive? Could I not install windows 8 fresh/anew? What problems may I have with a new SSD? 
    In short -- what would be the best and least problematic way to do this?
    I will back up my audio, video and office files. All copy-paste stuff. I have no problem with installing all my programs from scratch.
    I couldn't find a specific thread that provides a comprehensive answer so I opened this thread. 
    Thanks.

    It should be pretty simple _ remove the battery and adapter _ install your SSD _ hold down the power button for 1 full minute.
     Eject the DVD tray with the manual eject hole using a bent out paper clip.
     Load you W8 disc _ close the tray and plug in the adapter.
     Boot up, it should just boot to the W8 disc, if it doesn't there will be a quick flash on the screen when to press the esc key, after that you choose f9 (with out checking) and tell the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD ROM.
     (the W8 disc will format the drive automatically)
     Get the newest SSD you can find, don't buy old junk from eBay _ always buy from a reputable dealer.
     I have Samsung SSD in my dv8 and has no problems, my old dv7 has an Intel SSD and it's been good too _ no problems. Stay away from bargain deals with obscure brand names.
     There are no official drivers posted for your machine for W8, so you can/will have to use the generic ones, but some times the HP OEM W7 drivers will work.
     Start with you Chipset driver first _ I think it's Intel _ there are no specs listed as your's is a CTO model.
     Get the Chipset driver direct from Intel _ they may have updated their auto driver finder to scan in a W8 environment.
     Install the rest of the drivers in any order. You can also use Windows update to find the drivers as well, it's up to you.
     Be aware that some things may not work in W8, like you finger print reader.
     The SSD will behave exactly the same as a standard drive, the only difference is that it will run faster.

  • 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
    Testing programs: Intel Turbo Boost programs and CPU-Z

    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

  • P67a-GD65 (B3) 1.19 BIOS weird turbo boost throttling down issue.

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded from 1.14 to 1.19 BIOS because of a keyboard detection issue.   For the last few years, I always used Turbo boost OC 4.0-4.3ghz.
    Since the new BIOS, when I run Prime95, I notice that at first, the OC works well (goes from 1.6ghz to 4.0ghz) but after a while, it will throttle down to 3.9, revert back to 4.0, then 3.9 and sometimes even 3.8ghz. 
    CPU Voltage never goes above 1.280v.
    While I was using the 1.14 BIOS, it never got below 4.0ghz, so I can't figure out what's new in 1.19 that would make the CPU throttle below the values I set for it.
    Note that the CPU temp never goes over 62c, so I don't think it's thermal related.
    Overspeed, 2013 and C1E disabled,  all other stuff at defaults.  My core ratios are x40, x41, x42, x43
    I also tried 41-44, 42-45, 43-46 ratios, and everytime, it goes up to the minimum ratio (say 43), then after a while, it will always throttle down to 40, 39 and sometimes x38 (rarely but happens everytime though)
    Any ideas?

    First, I want to thank you for your help... it is much appreciated!

    ll settings being done in the UEFI/BIOS, not the OS right?
    Yes, all within the BIOS.  'Change settings in OS is disabled.
    When I tried to disable the CPU Phase Control, the PC hung on Windows desktop.  Tried both SVID & the other one but no changes (same throttling)
    Correction: ONLY Intel SVID  mode works on my setup -- the other two will hang on Windows Desktop (ASP Mode, Disabled).
    I tried the values you provided with no changes either.   :/
    I did notice something weird though.
    1) I downloaded 'Intel Extreme Tuning Utility' to see if the CPU was throttling because of thermal issues.
    2) when I tested the CPU stress test (20 minutes), the CPU went and stayed at 4.10Ghz the entire 20 minutes! no throttling at all
    3) I then decided to test the memory stress test, Prime 95, LinX, OCCT and the CPU will throttle down to 3.7 sometimes, but mostly from 4.0 to 3.9ghz on those tests.  What does it mean?  no clue (yet)
    Starting to wonder if it's not the CPU Phase Control.  I might reflash 4.3 BIOS to see if it fixes this error (freezing in Windows desktop when disabled), but I'd rather keep this BIOS  for now .
    I'll keep looking for the answer (let's not forget, I'm able to get a fixed OC at 4.2 no problem when I disable EIST, C-Phases and set the CPU at x42 & vcore at 1.250v)
    Again, thanks much for your patience & help!
    P.S.  I've seen another thread about someone having this exact issue, but didn't take notice back then since I didn't know I had this problem.   And now I'm trying to find it, I can't :(  Can't even recall if it was on this site or another one.   
    Worst case scenario, I make myself a 24/7 OC (even at 4.2 ghz... when not doing anything special, the cores temp are about the same as when at 1.6ghz 0.9xxv)   I'll actually go do that @4.2 & keep it a few days to see how it goes power usage wise/temps/etc.   But if you have any other suggestions, feel free to let me know, takes but a few minutes to revert back to this OC (saved and/or not long to set).
    P.P.S. Gotta admit that at full OC  4.2Ghz (no EIST, C1E, etc), I can actually feel the PC being more responsive.  Applications start faster (albeit just slightly, but noticeable), everything just feels more snappy. Starting to wonder if I won't keep it that way.

    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.

  • Locking Intel Turbo Boost on an i7-2670QM?

    Hi,
    My HP Envy 15-3040nr has an Intel i7-2670QM processor, which works with Turbo Boost just fine. My laptop goes to a maximum of 3.0 GHz when under full load (I render heavy gameplay videos), and underclocks just fine when in energy saver mode.
    However, I want to know if it is possible to LOCK the processor's clock rate at a consistently high rate, say, something like 2.9 (or an unrealistic 3.1 GHz, the rated turbo high) GHz, assuming that heat is not an issue (yes, it obviously will be an issue, but let's just say it isn't).
    This question was solved.

    In simple word NO,
    It is a dynamic overclocking rather than a static overclocking, here is more:

  • 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.

  • L440 how to turn on turbo boost?

    Hi, recently I got a new Lenovo L440 with i7 core, win 8.1
    How can I turn on the turbo boost? Since I cannot see any options in my BIOS(version 1.69), or I missed it somewhere?
    Anyone know?

    Hi Jin_hw,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are looking on how to enable the Intel turbo boost on your ThinkPad L440.
    First you have check whether Intel turbo boost is enabled in BIOS setting. And also check if the system is set to 'Max Processor State' is set to '100%' in your active power plan and check on that.
    Hope this helps.

  • Turbo boost always enabled. Help.

    Hey all,
    Recently I reformatted my Thinkpad X220T i7. Ever since, the Turbo Boost has been enabled and I can not turn it off. Even if I move the bar in the Power Manager all the way to the right, the CPU, Turbo Boost is still enabled.
    I tried looking in BIOS but I do not see an option to turn it off. 
    To fix this, I went into the Power Options and went to Processor Power Management and changed the max speed to 99% and that turned off the Turbo Boost.
    But I would like my laptop to go back to normal where I can just press that Fan Button in power manager and then slide the bar all the way to the left.
    I am updated on all drivers, software, and BIOS settings.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

  • MSI GE70 2OE-012NL lost Turbo Boost after updating firmware? (or not)

    Read EDIT2
    Hi,
    I just found out about the 2013-08-15 firmware update (version 1506) for my MSI GE70 2OE-012NL.
    After flashing this, my cpu load doesn't go over 99% and max speed is around 2.38GHz. Before it had peaks to 3.40Ghz because of the Turbo Boost. (tested with Intel's Processor Diagnostic Tool)
    Any insight on this?
    EDIT: speed reduction is very noticable in applications like AutoCAD/REVIT/Cubase (rendering) and games (Battlefield 3 automatically threw me back to 'low' profile in graphic settings where it was 'high' before).
    EDIT2: it's going up to 3.29Ghz again with a new test in Intel's Processor Diagnostic Tool. Weird. Nevertheless I would like to know what the differences are.

  • OVERCLOCKI​NG AND TURBO BOOST IN A I-7 4790K ENVY

    Can I overclock my HP ENVY 810-430qe CTO 4790K and still expect turbo boost to function?

    Grizzler, welcome to the forum.
    From what I have read, once you manually overclock the processor you should actually disable Turbo-boost.  It can affect the stability of your processor.  This makes sense.  Overclocking generates much more heat.

  • Turbo Boost DISABLED?

    How can I check if turbo boost is working on Mac OS ?MBP 13.3" with i7 has turbo boost disabled on windows?WHY?
    .

    Hi kdev_.
    I am also experiencing the same problem, and I've called both Intel, and Apple. I have the same computer like you and I ran the Intel Turbo Boost Monitor software within Windows 7, and I found out that my maximum speed of my CPU does not exceed 2.70 Ghz, which means that Apple has disabled Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, which does not make any sense, and makes me very angry, because I've spent so much money for this computer. According to Apple and Intel's website, the Intel Core i7 2620m is supposed to boost up to 3.4 Ghz when Turbo Boost 2.0 kicks in, but my processor isn't going faster than 2.70 Ghz in Windows 7. According to AnandTech,
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/4205/the-macbook-pro-review-13-and-15-inch-2011-br ings-sandy-bridge/3
    Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 is working fine in Mac OS X, but has been disabled in Boot Camp for Windows 7, which does not make any sense, because a lot of people like you and me, purchase the Macbook Pro to run Windows 7. I am very disappointed and angry at Apple because they are overcharging people and not giving us what we have paid for. I suggest that everyone send this message/complaint to Apple's feedback website so that hopefully, their engineers will allow support for Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 in the next Boot Camp Update. Kdev_, feel free to contact me at anytime so we can discuss this issue. What's more weird is that according to PC Pro,
    http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/2011/03/10/apple-macbook-pro-13in-wheres-the-turbo- boost/
    the Macbook Pro 13 Intel i5 is turbo boosting fine in Windows 7 while the more expensive i7 is not. This makes absolutely no sense at all and there is no reason why Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 has been disabled in Windows 7.
