GX660R Turbo CPU Speeds?

area512003 · 24 Mar 2011 at 10:45

Just got the GX660R and after reading forums on the Laptop I see some GX660R owners on Turbo speeds are getting 2.933GHz on their I5-460M CPU but I can only get 2.793GHz even in Game Mode?

Please can someone tell me if I have missed something? :confused:

Thanks

What my sorta long answer there was is that the Turbo funtion on these laptops ( g660 and gx740 ) seems a bit broke

Thanks Icewind, I thought that Turbo mode was a bit off. After doing a bit more research, its seems better just to be in Game Mode with SETFSB installed & I can get a constant 2995MHz speeds stable on my i5 460m.

Put Turbo on and it messes with the clock speeds by dropping the MHz! :rolleyes:
