Dell Latitude E6420: i5-2520M won't turbo past 2.4 GHZ
So I recently did a motherboard swap in my E6420 and turbo boost isn't working properly
When I put it under load (i.e Cinebench) it will only turbo up to around 2.4 GHZ
Speedstep, however, is working fine as while I'm writing this the cpu is at 800 MHZ
I have a suspicion that TurboBoost affects both Graphics and CPU, since I turned off Nvidia Optimus, it might not turbo properly.
Does anyone else have this problem?
EDIT: Enabling Optimus didn't work, maybe its Dell's battery software...

I found the issue: I looked at a software I have installed called RealTemp, it shows thermals, and there was this clock modulation thing on there and it was set to 75%. Now it's turboing to 3 GHZ
