    I believe it's part of the Intel Chipset driver that you download, so it's probably already working for you. I only installed the items mentioned in the clean install thread on my z12 i7 and Turbo Boost is working.

    If in doubt, you can download the sidebar gadget from Intel and run something CPU-intensive, to see absolutely whether or not it's working: Processors — Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Monitor

    For the latest chipset drivers, go here:
    intel drivers pour Raid/Sata/Ata/Ahci

    The site has pop-ups, but the drivers are reliable and very good, just not formally released by Intel.

    The Turbo Boost Technology Monitor is a pretty fun gadget to have.
