Turbo Boost - on or off?
Turbo Boost - on or off?
Unlike a desktop setup where upgrading the cooler is straightforward, your mobile CPU is constrained by the design choices of the computer maker. It’s usually safer to stick with what you have.
Perhaps eventually you’ll find a better system to work with. I’ve found some used deals on eBay for motherboards, CPUs, and RAM. It’s helpful if you have an extra case and power supply nearby, but they’re also common finds.
Keep in mind, I’m not always confident about other people’s old power supplies. I had one that broke recently, even though it was more than 12 years old! The Cooler Master Aluminium case performed well, which is exactly what I was after.
Hey, sorry for no reply.
I have been using my CPU with turbo boost on for about a month now and extra fan noise and heat doesn't bother me anymore. Like you said, this is a compromise for having a laptop and since desktop is no option for me I have to accept this as is.
I think my concerns about CPU longevity/safety due to running too hot with turbo boost on was mainly linked to SATA HDD/SSDs. I seem to recall that them running above threshold temps increases chances of malfunction and bad sectors etc.
Thanks a lot for help everyone!
