Activate Intel Turbo Boost - Here's how

Here we explain how to activate the Intel Turbo Boost for your Core i5 / i7. You can use it to increase the performance of your processor.

Enable Intel Turbo Boost via BIOS

To activate your Turbo Boost, you need to enter your computer's BIOS:

1. You access the BIOS differently on each PC. In our practical tip "How do I get into the BIOS?" we will help you.
2. In the BIOS you should find the menu item "Performance" or "Performance". Click on it or control this point with the keyboard.
3. If your processor and your motherboard support the Intel Turbo Boost, you should now be able to activate it. You will find the setting under "Intel Turbo Boost" or under the abbreviation "ITT". If you do not find the setting, a BIOS update can help.
4. Activate Boost, save the setting and restart the computer.
5. Note: If your computer is not adequately cooled, the ITT switches off automatically. This prevents damage to the hardware.
