Ahh I see... but is it normal to have turbo boost even in idle? o_o

I have a Y50 which uses the same processor as that in your screenie.

Mine turbo boosts even when I am doing nothing. To stop it from doing that I need to change the power options in the Lenovo battery tool to medium.

The dumbest thing is that when I play games, it doesn't boost vmad.gif

You'll see max turbo boost when the process uses fewer cores.

In gaming, it's likely many cores are used so the turbo boost may not kick in.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. So far there isn't much noticeable performance difference from boost or not so I never made any concern out of it.

Glad it's behaving normally though.
