    Hi everyone
    got myself G73 and i'm doing clean win7 install
    got just about everything sorted but this one got me puzzled, my twin turbo button doesn't work?

    i got ATK packaged installed and get OSDs for all the other things but there is no confirmation and no way of telling if i enabled turbo mode or not?

    if anyone got idea please let me know, thanks

    Do you have both the driver and the monitor installed. Quite frankly, the turbo mode is more of a gimmick. Never use it. For other information, you may want to look at the link in my sig.

    You need Power4Gear installed. The other way is to turn it on in the bios.

    FYI it's ok to use the search button instead of being lazy and clogging up the forum with more topics that have already been answered innumerable times.

    thanks for the info
    FYI don't jump your guns so quick, i been searching, due to name of this feature that shares word with intel TURBO feature/driver, it is massive jungle to find anything on this topic.

    I can confirm that ziddy123 advice was spot on, maybe worth adding to the clean install stickie?
    once again thanks

    Actually, you can also just install the ATK package. You won't get the TWIN TURBO pic coming up, but you can see Turbo mode alternate from the TurboBoost Monitor gadget.
