    I don't understand. I clicked the red turbo button in the power4gear application and did a restart.

    I check cpu-z and it says my processor is still at 1.3.

    any help?

    I thought Turbo33 was on the fly and then at reboot would go to back regular speed........

    Is there a way to use Turbo33 on Asus UL30A? In theory is just a matter of software, am I wrong?

    Turbo is on when the button is red and says "Turbo". You turned it off ;)

    Try writing the same PLL values as the UL30VT uses for it's 33% overclock (assuming they have the same PLL). See "grub2 bootloader overclock" in sig for more details.

    It's already well known that CPU-Z has a glitch on CULV processors.
