i5 4460 not turbo boosting
I can't seem to get a turbo boost for my i5 4460. I've set the CPU ratio to 34 for all cores, turned EIST on and off, but when I enable it, the task manager shows 3.4ghz yet it doesn't improve performance in games. Please help me!
check the supporting bios for that CPU or a newer model above it.
version 3.4 is the maximum boost.
maximum turbo frequency listed is 3.40 GHz.
the page mentions the processor supports up to 3.40 GHz turbo.
ensure windows power options are set to performance mode.
this will allow adjustments based on load, not full performance at idle.
The optimal method is:
1) Launch Task Manager
2) Execute Intel CPU Diagnostic

3) Keep in mind that "Max Turbo Boost" reaching 3.4GHz is uncommon. Turbo speeds vary based on core utilization. The gap between base and boost remains around 200MHz.
Under stress, expect closer to 3.3GHz.
4) Observe the "SPEED" metric in Task Manager, which should fluctuate. During Intel Diagnostic, it should operate near full capacity for part of the test, typically staying within 3.2GHz to 3.3GHz under the SPEED section.
it matches what you observed from the screenshot you shared. your chip has reached 3.7, which is close to its maximum boost of 3.8. you should stay under that limit unless using a non-'k' CPU. with mine running at around 3.7887, it's just slightly under 3.8 during heavy use.
It might be an optimization problem with the game, possibly because it depends more on GPU usage rather than CPU. The CPU usage fluctuates throughout the game since it adjusts based on current demands, which means it doesn’t always need to be increased fully.

follow the setup guidelines carefully; avoid running tests when memory is exceeded on your board—it may cause swapping and delay completion.
Computation Time: 83.863 seconds

CPU Utilization: 372.950 %
Multi-core efficiency: 93.238 %
A 4-core CPU would be 400% (100% per core), and keep an eye on your boost; it should reach close to 3.4 if monitored properly
I prefer using hwinfo64 for this task
