WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by computerboy: 8:39pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
Most times when we want to buy a laptop, especially those of us who makes our buying decisions based purely on clock speed, we usually get confused seeing something like: clock speed: 1.80GHz (turbo boost up to 2.80GHz) This post is to put more clarification to the above expression

You can ask your computer related questions on this thread as well |

Thanks op for the info. My question is this, is the turbo boost an app? |

computerboy: Is it any type of system that can be upgrade ? Can you upgrade an Intel Core 2 Duo to Intel Core i3,i5 or i7? Or is there any requirement? |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by Lexusgs430: 12:25am On Aug 17, 2016 |
Nduxx: From my lame knowledge of computers, upgrade is very possible. You would simply have to buy another laptop with either an i3,i5 or i7. |

Lexusgs430: Alright. Thanks man |

Nduxx: There are many things you can upgrade in a laptop but the CPU isn't one of them. Why? Different socket, different chipset, you have to change the entire motherboard to upgrade the CPU |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by Nduxx(m): 10:11am On Aug 17, 2016 |
computerboy:But it's possible abi? |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by computerboy: 10:12am On Aug 17, 2016 |
Kingsasian: No, It's a technology built into modern core processors. You don't need to activate it or do anything. If your processor has the technology it'll activate itself once it notices the CPU is working within limits |

Lexusgs430:Quite an upgrade 1 Like |

Nduxx: It's possible but isn't worth it. For example, to upgrade the CPU of a pavilion dv6 from core2duo to core i5, you'll need to buy the motherboard of a pavilion dv6 with core i5 processor and switch it with yours. Just like Lexus said, it's better you buy a new laptop with your required processor model. |

Lexusgs430:You will need the name of the motherboard and chipset of the computer after that just Google the compatible cpus for the chipset an d then replace it with professional help |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by Lexusgs430: 7:45pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
Wiztek: Why not simply buy an updated laptop to suit your taste? Have you factored in the cost of all this parts + labour (not forgetting the price to pay if things go wrong)? |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by Wiztek(m): 11:25pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
Lexusgs430:The choice is his actually but it's just an option and also nothing should go wrong as long as he gets the right parts and applies a good heat spreader to the processor he will be fine and he will also ser performance gains .... However it is still up to the owner of he does not have money he should go for an option that is cheaper the parts shouldn't be too expensive but it's the availability he should worry about |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by computerboy: 11:40pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
youngkhid: Most core i5 and i7 laptops comes with turbo boost and it's enabled by default. To check the change when turbo boost kicks in, you'll have to use the Intel turbo boost monitor on your system or download it if you don't have. It's a free utility from Intel |

Is it possible to increase my CPU speed? I run core i5 @2.64GHz |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by computerboy: 6:14pm On Aug 23, 2016 |
benueguy: Overclocking the CPU usually comes with high risk. If i may ask, why do you want to do that? |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by benueguy(m): 11:01pm On Aug 23, 2016 |
computerboy:I use it for music production. Can't carry my heavy plug-ins conveniently without crashing the program. |
Re: WHAT IS INTEL TURBO BOOST AND HOW DOES IT WORK? by computerboy: 11:25pm On Aug 23, 2016 |
benueguy: It'll harm your motherboard on the long run. Buy 8gb/16gb ram and support the system. |

computerboy:Alright. Thanks sir |
