1) It’s throttling the CPU low in the middle of editing video and causing some glitching. The reason why I don’t want the Turbo Boost is for a couple of reasons. My Sandy Bridge CPU from ~2012 has it, a fact that caused some confusion when I first upgraded from my overclocked Phenom II and began the process of overclocking the Sandy.ĭisabling Turbo Boost completely would reduce the performance of the CPU, which is not what people who shelled out four a high-end CPU would usually want… that is, if that is actually what you want! It’s your computer, of course, and you should be able to do what you want, but maybe there’s some other way to attack whatever the root issue is for you. Turbo Boost 3.0 is apparently a feature on higher-end CPUs, but Turbo Boost (in non 3.0 form) is an intrinsic performance feature of Intel CPUs going way back. Is it not working properly, causing too much heat, fan noise, power consumption, or some other thing?Īre you trying to reduce it to an earlier form of Turbo Boost, or are you trying to eliminate all Turbo Boost and simply operate at the maximum base clock? It would help to know what you are trying to accomplish by disabling Turbo Boost 3.0. This kind of active effort on the part of the OS to do what it wants instead of what the hardware owner wants is the whole problem with Windows 10 in a nutshell. If you set that to disabled, it might accomplish what you want. If you go into Device Manager, you should see the device Windows keeps downloading the driver for. I have done that, at least I thought, in Windows settings. Another solution could be to keep windows from automatically downloading and updating the driver.

One possible solution would be to turn off the turbo feature in the Bios, but I have no idea what settings those might be (see image). Regardless, windows will still download the driver, install it, and schedule it to run automatically. I’ve actually tried removing the driver, disabling the the task and the service. Windows 10 simply downloads the driver again. What I have found out is simply disabling or uninstalling the software app for the turbo boost doesn’t work. Second, is the operating system and a driver for the Intel turbo boost app. First in the Motherboard BIOS there is a switch or switches that turn the feature on. It’s my understanding that this involves two things. My motherboard uses a CPU that has the ability to use Intel’s turbo boost 3.0.
