    Exactly what the title says, looking for conformation on Turbo Boost being enabled in the new 1.00.06 BIOS that was just released.

    Also if anyone has any issues with the new BIOS.

    Have you checked for a Turbo Boost option in the BIOS settings?

    HellCry, please check in the BIOS to make sure Turbo Boost is enabled.

    HellCry,

    Did you check your system out after your flash? I did flashed twice just to make sure it wasn't a bad flash, and I still have the following issue of only detecting 2 cores and 4 threads. So I'm getting half the utilization of my processor because of the .06 BIOS.

    I am re-flashing back to .05 because I had no problems with that at all. Picture attached.

    Before flashing back to .05 I cleared the CMOS. Fixed the problem.

    Just wanted to post this as a follow up post so people are scared of .06

    It works fine now, pictures below.
