I seem to be having some problems with trying to get turbo boost working on my system.
It started with there being discrepancies between the actual clock speed and what Windows was reporting as the clock speed, but when I updated to Windows 10, it just kept going further and further downhill.
At this point, I have turbo boost enabled through the BIOS on my computer but Turbo Boost is not a thing in Services or System Configuration. On top of that, whenever I try to install the turbo boost monitor, despite having an i7 processor in my computer (which is, by the way, still capable of Turbo Boost), the program tells me that it cannot install because I do not have an i7 processor installed in my computer.
I don't know how relevant this is, but it is a Core i7 Q720M and either Dell does have Turbo Boost enabled or somebody did a shoddy job of putting a custom BIOS on this computer.
