Question Turbo Boost not getting to max

[SIGMA_NVQ]

Hey guys. I got an intel core i5-4590s, with a base clock of 3.0 ghz and a turbo of 3.7. The problem is, whenever i'm playing games or the CPU is under load, it immediately switches to 3.29 ghz. But when idle, or doing simple processes, the CPU goes up to 3.6 sometimes. This is strange, since it is supposed to turbo more when it's under load. Anyone know what I can do to squeeze some extra performance out of this old chip? Or how to get it's turbo boost running better? I have a noctua nh-d15 (way better cooler than the stock intel one I have now.) on it's way from amazon. Would that help?

Check your power settings to see if your on high performance and you can also go into bios and change the cpu speed to 3.7ghz

How do I do both of those things?

Control Settings go into system and power options make sure its on high performance .

It is on high performance mode. How do I change the clock speed like you were saying?

Restart computer go into bios and cpu settings and change it to 3.7ghz
