You can always test the theory by downloading CPUZ and see what it says when it's at idle and when you put it under full load. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php Upvote 0 Downvote

Well if that's the case Turbo is not on as it should kick in the moment it senses a load. I'm not familiar with your particular product but you might carefully look around in the BIOS and make sure that it's enabled if it is there. Upvote 0 Downvote
