Hi everyone a quick question, I run an i5-3750k ivy bridge quad core at 3.4ghz and it says (3.8ghz turbo), I use this system mostly for games.

Is the turbo something I can activate to get a little more juice out of my CPU?

If so how?

-Thanks
 
Solution
Turbo is a feature that automatically raises the CPU multiplier when the CPU is put under load, thus increasing performance. While you're gaming the CPU will probably run at more than 3.4GHz, up to a max of 3.8GHz.
