Hello. I own a Dell Optiplex 790 and just recently purchased an i5-2500K as the system struggled with bottlenecking due to my previous i3-2100.
Specs: Dell Optiplex 790, BIOS A21
i5-2500K @3.3 GHz
AMD HD7870 XT
1TB 7.2K RPM Western Digital
Venus 450W PSU
2x2 + 2x4GB (12GB total) Hynix
DDR3 RAM
Now onto the issue I seem to be encountering. Upon the installation of the CPU I noticed that it wasn't reaching the max advertised Turbo Boost- in fact it doesn't boost at all and stays at 3.3 GHz. I did enable Turbo Boost in my BIOS, yet for some odd reason, no matter how many times I restart my PC, I get the same results. I've ran tons of benchmarks, from Cinebench to heavy game titles like GTA 5 maxed and Witcher 3. I've also downloaded the Intel XTU tool to see if it supported overclocking on my CPU but it has absolutely no options, and the program itself says Turbo Boost is disabled. Can anyone help me figure out this strange annoyance please? I'd appreciate it greatly.
