Question CPU Turbo Mode questions ?

[Scrubs0]

Hi all, I hope I've posted this in the right forum


So, I disabled turbo mode for my CPU (I9 11900k, 3.5GHZ) but than when I went to check my power plan in the control panel (Windows 10 Pro), I saw that 'CPU performance boost mode' is still set to 'aggressive'
So my questions are these:

Q1: Is 'performance boost mode' and 'turbo mode' the same?
Q2: If they are the same, should I change both options or only one, and if so, which one?

It's worth mentioning that I didn't touch the power plan option (as in, it stayed on aggressive mode), and yet when I disabled Turbo mode in the bios, my CPU's temp dropped (along with performance in certain games)

Power plan can't override BIOS settings. If you limit anything in BIOS, OS can't change it.

OS will "boost" to what you set in BIOS

So if I want to be able to change turbo mode on and off via the control panel, is it not possible? As in, if its enabled in BIOS disabling in the control panel won't do anything?

Turbo Mode in BIOS settings, and 'CPU performance boost mode' in Windows are two different things.

you can adjust on and off with 3rd party app from your motherboard manufacturer or similar tool "overclocking/optimizing" tool
