Actually Intel specs the Turbo Boost at 3.80 GHz as shown here. And from the screen shot it appears that is what the setting already is. This link has a decent explanation. Also it is possible that the CPU clocks down if it is getting hot.
can somebody help me with this issue? i've enabled "Intel Turbo Boost" thing and the multiplier should be at x39 (3.90ghz) right? but when i play any game or i stress the cpu the multiplier locks at x35 (3.50ghz). in teory the cpu is boosting but not the way it should, from what i know it should hit 3.90ghz easily. i have "maximum performance" enabled in windows (as y'all can see in the screenshots), c states and other stuff in order to make the cpu boost the clock speeds. [IMAGE]in here the multiplier is at x38 (it changes a lot between x35 and x39)[IMAGE]in here the multiplier is stuck at x35
