    Go into throttlestop to turn it on and check your BIOS settings to make sure the turbo is active.

    when i go to throttlestop and turn it on setting the multiplier anything higher then 27 doesnt do anything and according to hwinfo64 my turbo is active it shows that is green. when i disable turbo with throttlestop it shows red on hwinfo64.

    Go into your BIOS (F2 setup) and try turning the turbo on and off against the CPU settings and load up windows.

    I remember on my JH I had to actually turn the XM option off to get my turbo to work it would never run with it on for some strange reason.
