Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I recently replaced the processor to a supported intel i7 processor.

I am looking for a bios update that supports the turbo boost technology.

I have updated the bios per the 17-e116dx hp software support page, but still can't utilize the turbo technology.

Can anyone point me in the right driection for this?

 

Thank you!

Thank you for joining the HP Support Community

 

HP Pc’s uses a customized BIOS setting (Tattooed BIOS) of which some features including overclocking and increasing the Turbo Boost Processor are locked.

This is done in the best interest of safeguarding the PC for the optimal performance and not to cause any extensive component failure.

To conclude, the Turbo Boost on your PC is already shared with a specific value and it's locked and cannot be changed.

 

Hope the information shared will help you!

Cheers:)
