I think it's when the cores need the extra juice. EG, if you're doing CPU intensive tasks like heavy photo/video editing.

it kicks in on single threaded or low threaded apps that aren't using the entire CPU... if something is only using 2 cores and is maxing them out it will slow a few cores down and speed up the ones under load.

this is my understanding of turbocore3.0 and it won't turbo the entire CPU, just cores under load

You have it exactly right. I believe,however, that if you load down all 8 cores, then the CPU can turbo the entire package, but not as high as the individual core-turbo in the example you stated.

We have the same motherboard at minimum you should be running that chip at 4.5ghz under 1.4v.

Good Luck!
