Do you know if you can turn on turbo-boost for the i7 7700K CPU using the B250F Strix? If yes, how? Thanks!

Turbo boost must be turned on automatically, no matter which motherboard you use. You won't need to make any changes.

Turbo boost must be turned on automatically, no matter what the motherboard is. You won't need to do anything. Once the PC is assembled, it should have a 4.5GH?

Yes, even under minimal demand, it can reach up to 4.5 GHz when the threads are light.

TJ Hooker confirms the performance remains at the maximum turbo speed of 4.5 GHz for lightly threaded tasks. He also mentions upgrading the motherboard to an MSI Z270 Gaming M3.

This likely doesn't affect the standard turbo boost settings. However, you can still push the CPU beyond stock limits, rendering the built-in turbo boost less useful.

Yeah, in another discussion we had about the motherboard and someone suggested skipping the Asus B250F to get a Z270 for overclocking. Since I wasn't very familiar with overclocking and assumed it could be done on any chipset, I just ordered the B250F. But then I was told that if I wanted to overclock, I'd need a Z270 board. Fortunately, they hadn't released the board yet.
