Questions on the i5-3570

[ruecklm14]

Hi, so I bought an intel i5-3570 (not k) and it says next to it 3.4ghz and 3.8ghz turbo boost but it is not the K kind so how would I be able to turbo boost it and what does that mean? Thanks!

it turbo automatically. on 1 core it goes up to 3.8 and decreases as more cores are utilized as long as it is below temp and power limits

you don't have to manually turbo boost it, it's automatic, it means when your CPU is under heavy load it will automatically clock up to a maximum of 3.8 Ghz in order to keep up

because you can manually change the multiplier and overclock to above 3.8GHz on all cores. thats why i can keep my cpu on 4.7GHz on all cores
