should i enable intel turbo boost

[wes104mash104]

i was looking in my bios and found out turbo boost has been disabled and i was wondering is it best to leave it off or enable it?i have an older i7 3770k with a z77a-g45 board if that helps any.also its all on stock

Turbo boost is a dynamic setting, in that the system will boost things if the kit is up to it. However, it's designed to conserve power (which reduces heat too), so if you're not using anything to take advantage of the added boost, it's just going to waste anyway.

No reason why it shouldn't be safe. The throttling will still be applied if the CPU gets too hot. I suppose if you have a particularly bad cooling / airflow situation, enabling turbo boost could heat things up to trigger throttling. Never tried to test that tbh.

Enabling Turbo Boost will enable your processor to go from 3.5 GHz to 3.9 GHz.
It will improve performance if you are close to maxing out your CPU.
If you aren't stressing the CPU much, it won't make much difference.

so probably just turn it on check temps and forget about it

heres my temps and stuff with it on

Pretty much.

You can go into HWMonitor and see if it goes to 3.9 when you push it. It should.

what about the voltage hwmonitor sars its giving the cpu 1.201v for 3.7 on all cores and 1.211 when it goes to 3.9 is that ok?
