Boosting CPU Speed

[Rajnit]

my laptop specs:
CPU: 2.4Ghz i7-4700MQ (up to 3.4Ghz)

how do i reach the max speed of 3.4GHz?

 

[shivababbli]

why do you need it to run at 3.4 ghz

processor only runs at higher speeds whenever necessary , like when you are using processor intensive programmes

Intel turbo boost only occurs when less than 4 cores of the CPU are used, during this time the unused cores enter a low powered state, and the rest of the used cores clock up until the designated TDP of the processor is reached.

Please note that the advertised turbo boost clock is that of a processor is the maximum that the processor can reach, and may operate well below that in most circumstances.
