Hello,
I just recently upgraded my computer with a new CPU, Motherboard, and Memory. But I running into a little problem with the Intel turbo boost. It doesn't seem to be working at all. I have the Core i5 2300 stock frequency is 2.8GHz with a turbo boost of 3.1GHz. But when running prime95 with all cores at 100% load CPU-Z shows the frequency at 2.8GHz. It stays at that frequency when playing games or editing videos. It never goes any higher. I checked the BIOS and Turbo Boost is enabled. I reset the BIOS to defalts with no luck. I also flashed the BIOS to the latest version. But still turbo boost still will not kick in. However Intel Speed Step technology is working. When the CPU is at idle the frequency is goes down to 1.5GHz. It's not really important that I have the turbo boost working But it would be nice to have that extra 300MHz when I need it. My motherboard is the Foxconn H61MX.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me!
