That is the processor I have. It says that I can turbo boost it up to 3.6GHz but when I enable intel turbo boost I only get 3.4GHz.

I went into the bios and manually set the clock speed to 3.6GHz but when I check a CPU monitoring program called CPU-Z it says I'm still at 3.4GHz.

How do I get to the 3.6GHz speed my processor can apparently get to? Do I edit voltage? BTW all my fans are at 100% so my temps are looking good.

I want Battlefield 3 running smooth as possible. Every Frame counts!!
 
Solution
3.6GHz is the MAX turbo frequency and it will never go to that unless it's only using one or two cores/single threaded tasks. BF3 will use all 4 cores. It will not go to 3.6 in a game, and even if it could it would make zero.difference in your FPS
