Hello guys! So ATM i have two pcs. My main gaming one is my sig rig, but before that i used a prebuilt hp that i upgraded with a new psu and gpu. Here's the stock specs of the prebuilt - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02901736&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5109912#N1463
Besides those specs, i upgraded the psu to an antec EA-650 Green, and the gpu to a Nvidia Geforce model gtx 560ti. The cpu is an i7 2600S @ 2.8 ghz with a supposed 3.8 ghz turbo boost. Even on the product specs page on newegg and hp, it says that it has that turbo boost. I've ran games, and prime95 while monitoring the load, temps, and core clock with realtemp and cpuz. Whenever i test the cpu load is 100% on both programs, but the clock stays solid at 2.8-9. Once while just browsing the pc on the internet i saw the clock go to 3.4 for some reason. I've messed with the power settings going from performance to balanced mode several times with no effect. Also i attempted to update the bios, which actually bricked the pc... and i sent it back to hp where they replaced the mobo, and returned it. The turbo boost still does not work. We also wrote a note to hp saying this, and got nothing back. I've browsed the internet for hours and tried countless fixes, and nothing seems to work. This is pretty important to me because i am looking to use this pc as a dedicated streaming pc, which if you did not know is weighted heavelly on cpu power. Anything would rock guys thakns!!
