Solved Intel cpu turbo boost not working

Hi Ben.
"Turbo Boost" is an automatic feature in Intel processors that have the feature.
If your CPU can boost and it needs to, it will.
You don’t have to activate it.

I have three intel turbo boost processors, and never seen the boost work, either.
I am going to try and download this free monitor, and test.

I may be able to get it from here.

Overclocking a non K processor is not advised as it can make your system unstable. Big chance of frying the chip.
I downloaded the monitor and it does work. Just have to catch it at the right moment.
Turbo boost only works momentarily, not continuous.
When the boost stops, the energy saver shows.



Overclocking a non-K Skylake processor is not recommended and hard to get a stable system.
This is because you are playing the system base clock instead of using frequency multiplier, which is locked on non-K.
If you do something to the base clock, everything else (other components) will be affected.
