HP dv6t Quad Edition - AMD Quad-Core A8-3520M Accelerated Processor (2.5GHz/1.6GHz, 4MB L2 Cache)

I payed for the processor mentioned above. However I have noticed that the processor does not clock over 1.5GHz. How do I unlock its full 2.5GHz potential.

It should run at 1600 mhz and the 2500 mhz is the "Turbo" speed. You are unlikely to capture turbo speed in action. It will kick in only when needed and only for short bursts. It is really nothing you need to worry about, you have a powerful CPU.

There must be some way for me to override the Turbo boost controls and enable it whenever I want. Or set up some conditions under which it should activate.

Sorry no they do not give you that kind of control. It would liley burn up if you tried to run it flat to the floor all the time.

I know the risks. Especially with an AMD processor. I guess I was just hoping. Thank you for your advice.
