Cannot enable turbo boost

Codeman785 — Sat, 12 Dec 2020 20:04:50 GMT

I have a i7 6820HK, and in the bios I have set the multiplier to x41 and set the power max to 230. But when I open xtu the turbo boost button is greyed out and not selectable. Do I have to adjust voltage? Is there preset profiles that I can use? I've searched online and cannot find any answers.

Also, important to know that Intel Turbo Boost Technology is enabled by default on supported processors. You can disable or enable the technology with a switch in the BIOS.

Hi Codeman785,

Thanks for your response.

I notice that you didn't provide the Intel® System Support Utility, please make sure to attach this information, also please share the results of the Download the Intel® Processor Identification Utility (IPIU) Link and attach the results. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28539/Intel-Processor-Identification-Utility-Windows-Version

Also please provide a screenshot of the Task Manager, at the performance Tab.

I recommend you to check with the Original Equipment Manufacturer of your Motherboard to know how to change (enable/disable) this feature. At the Intel® XTU you will find greyed the option but only will display to you to see if it is enabled or disabled, no changes can be performed through any app or through the operating system.

For more information on the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 please visit the following link https://www.intel.la/content/www/xl/es/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technology.html
