Quote:I've never heard of a time limit on Turbo Boost, where did you find that info? Tried googling, but no luck.
It doesn't. You can look up the documentation for turbo boost on intels website and it does not mention any time limits anywhere.
Turbo boost is limited by:
-# of active cores (only in turbo boost 1.0, nehalem chips)
-gpu activity (only in turbo boost 2.0, and only if the IGP is enabled)
-temperature
-power consumption
-clock rate limit
-core load (it will not overclock if the core load is not at 100%, because that would just be wasting power)
Also keep in mind that the cores do often run at different clock rates while turbo boost is active.
