How to enable turbo boost for i5-8400?

[georgesun238]

I wanted to get a i5-8400 for a build and I know that turbo boost on the CPU can allow it to run at around 4.7ghz. How do I turbo boost it so that it runs that high?

The 8400 turbos to 4.0 GHZ not 4.7

And turbo is done automatically by the chip when required, otherwise it will run at lower speeds to conserve power and heat.

So, please correct me if I'm wrong but what I'm getting from that is that, the chip will automatically run at up to 4ghz if needed?
