How does turbo boost function?
Hello. I recently downloaded a program from intel to monitor my processor speed. I have an intel i-7 2630 2.0 GHZ, which should go up to 2.9 GHZ with turbo boost.
While running battlefield 3, my processor only went up to around 2.6, and nothing higher. Is there something wrong? Or do I have to manually enable turbo boost?

Go into your BIOS and up the turbo boost. Ether use a higher OC setting then what is being used or do it yourself. To check it turn your power option in the control panel to high performance. Then go download CPU-Z, its free. If you want the CPU to clock down when not being stressed then use the balanced power option.
