    You dont need to turn it on in the BIOS that is only if you want TT to boot with it on. All you need to do is have the latest drivers installed:

    ATK Package 1.0.0.00010

    Then you hit the button in the middle of the 3 top left of your keyboard to turn it on.

    It will raise your FSB by 10% pushing your CPU clocks up but the performance difference is minimal.

    Make sure you apply the W7 timing fax as explained in my video (sig)

    ... Twin turbo, on anything newer than a core2duo, is a waste.

    Yup :D as DCX said it does nothing - minimal in terms of performance.

    On the C2D I had in my G70s it would boost it from 2.4ghz to 2.9ghz now that is what you call a Twin Turbo button. 10% FSB is like fosters vs heineken.

    Does anyone know if you press the 2nd button on this model, will you see an OSD stating enbabled or disabled?

    The JW has the TwinTurbo feature. The later Sandybridge models do not. You also need to use P4GH 1.1.37 or earlier. The later versions do not support TwinTurbo.

    You will also need to open a Command Prompt with Admin rights and run

    bcdedit /set useplatformclock true

    and reboot.
