I7 7700k turbo boost on h270m mobo

[CyberAMES]

Hello guys,

Im aware that my mobo doesnt support overclocking but does it at least support the cpu turbo boost. Ive been using the mobo and cpu for quite a while now and I havent noticed where the turbo boost sets in. Plus, where can I see it if it does?

Thank you very much

use free software cpuz to see

if it kicks in should go to 4500mhz

Do I have to trigger the cpu to reach 4.5? Because I notice that it only reached 2.5 to 3.5 even if its idle or not.

only reach 4.5 when 1 core is active.

all 4 cores on 4.4

yes might be 4.4 on all cores and 4.5 on 1 core

think my bios makes it turbo all the cores to 4.5ghz if i set it to default the ops bios probably doesnt

you just need to put enough load on the cpu to make it trigger turbo
