I have an ASUS Vivobook S15 S530FA i-78565U CPU it has a 1.99GHz with turbo boost up to 4.6GHz I can't get it to go any higher than 1.99GHz . Is there some way I can enable turbo frequency?

    I have a older HP notebook that's doing same thing. It can reach base frequency but not turbo boost. I verified this through a third party CPU information app. Everything is enabled in UEFI bios and I finally installed Ubuntu just to see if Intel turbo boost worked and it did. The CPU in the notebook is an Ivy Bridge 3427u duel core 4 thread 17Watt CPU. Its specs say it supports Turbo boost 2.0. It did work in earlier Windows 10 releases such as 1809 but either in 1909 or newer releases I began to notice the slow down.

    Tried also to create a Performance power profile and set min/max CPU to 100% to no avail. Because my Bios makes no option to turn on or off turbo boost I assume its always on. After getting nowhere with WIndows 10 I decided to stick with Ubuntu because my CPU is a legacy CPU now so Intel won't support it.

    Hi Joe13

    If turbo boost is by default mine is not working for some reason. The laptop is supposed to have 1.80GHz to 4.6GHz speed and it won't go any higher than 1.99GHz. I've changed the powe plan but didn't help.

    thanks

    Hi DaveM121,

    Yes the power limitation of only 1.99GHz is during battery power and when plugged in.

    It is not set to balanced. It's set my custom plan 4 computer is set to Never go to sleep, display is set to Never turn off, intel graphic power plan is set to maximum, USB selective suspend setting is disabled.

    It's not on a battery saver mode. I don't have a slider.

    thanks

    Hi RavenD1

    I am Dave, I will help you with this, are you seeing this limitation on mains power, battery power or both?

    1

    Right click the battery icon on your Task Bar, choose Power Options)

    What power plan is set on your laptop, if that is balanced, try setting that to a higher Power plan

    2

    Click the battery icon on your taskbar, what Battery Saver Mode is set on the slider on the resulting panel?

    Did you mean 'Turbo Boost'? I Binged and saw that all the results had Turbo Boost and not Frequency. Intel's site showed that 'Turbo Boost' is enabled by default. T.Boost and T.Frequency (short forms!šŸ˜‰) are different, I think.

    Try the solution in TH forums: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/why-does-my-i7-8550u-only-run-at-1-99ghz.3401313/Ā (I know, both are different processors, but at times some solutions for one thing works for another!
