So, no turboboost on the dv6t 7000 quad edition.

Anybody else realize this?

It means its stuck at 2.3ghz. Which isnt really bad considering its a i7 and im using a dual core 1.6ghz right now.

Anybody have any experience or can confirm? Im still waiting to get myn and it kinda sucks i just realized this D:

I wonder if some other software can overclock it.

 

Make sure Coolsense is NOT in Coolest mode

 

Does that make it work for you?

I dont have it yet so i cant test it yet. But if anybody has one they could share?


Hearing from some of the heat problems some people have had I think thats why they disabled it.

 

Coolest Mode disables Turboboost...

 

But have you tried using the turbo boost monitor while its off?

I did a small amount of research and found a few people sayings its disabled.

Someone said when they tried to use it it sais it was incompatible, and that hp disabled it. So if what you said it true, it should work while its off...

Sorry if im being picky but not much info on it.

 

You can Enable or set Coolsense to Coolest and use ThrottleStop to enable TurboBoost. Not sure if TS support IvyBridge or not though.

 

Im going to try as soon as mine gets here. Thanks.

Anyone with this particular model try this?

 

ThrottleStop 5.00 supports the Ivy Bridge CPUs. Clevo W110ER owners are using ThrottleStop to enable Intel Turbo Boost. The manufacturer thought it would be a good idea to turn Turbo Boost off whenever the Nvidia GPU was active without telling owners about this "feature". Send me a PM if you need some help trying to solve this problem. ThrottleStop does not overclock these CPUs. It simply lets them run at the speed that Intel intended.

 

Glad to hear there is support for the new IVy Bridge processors. Im also glad to hear that I can turn it on with said throttlestop


Thanks for the answer and i'll pm you if I need any help with throttlestop.

I'll also post my results when I get them, even though there is not many posts about this issue, I know lots of users would probably want the most out of their computer just like me lol.

 

Turbo Boost is really for short bursts of CPU power. You wouldn't want to play a game or do anything for an extended period of time with Turbo Boost on due to heat issues anyway:

"Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor to operate at a power level that is higher than its rated upper power limit (TDP) for short durations to maximize performance."

Link: Intel® Turbo Boost Technology — On-Demand Processor Performance

 

Intel Turbo Boost is designed to be used 24/7 as long as the CPU is running within its temperature, TDP and current limits. If a manufacturer has designed a cooling solution that is adequate to cool both the CPU and GPU at their rated TDP then there is no reason why the CPU shouldn't be using Turbo Boost while gaming or running any demanding application.

There is a time limit built into the CPU that controls how long the CPU will be allowed to run above its TDP limit. Laptop manufacturers typically set this limit to 28 seconds. When the limit expires, the CPU will reduce the amount of Turbo Boost so it can get back under the TDP limit. This does not mean that it completely disables Turbo Boost. It simply uses less Turbo Boost if it has to. Ivy Bridge CPUs can use a variable amount of Turbo Boost so they can operate safely just under the TDP limit for as long as they want to.

The 3rd Generation CPUs are very efficient so many of them can run at almost full Turbo Boost all the time. Many Clevo owners have discovered that you can run full Turbo Boost like Intel intended without the laptop over heating. This can result in a significant boost in performance, especially for games that are CPU dependent.

 

Just keep coolsense in Performance Optimized, u should have Turbo Boost

 

Thanks for the answers guys.
