Graphics Information: Radeon (TM) HD 7690M Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit

Processor Information: Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7 Processor Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU 2.20GHz Temperature = 50 degrees C below maximum. Why did my CPU Frequency fail? Is it a setting I must have turned off or does it tie to the Turbo Boost Technology?Īnd while I can kill two birds with one stone, is there a way to install Turbo Boost or where would it be in BIOS? It came to my attention though that when I ran the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool that my CPU Frequency failed for some reason, not matching up to the 2.20 GHz minimum the processor has. I looked at some other forums and noticed it might be a manufacturer issue so I will deal with that on the side. After convincing myself that I just needed a stronger PC in general, I designed builds that would drain my bank account surely never good news to anyone.īut last night I took a look at the recommended settings on Elgato's website and my laptop is EXTREMELY well over qualified to use it! So after researching Intel's website about my processor (i7-2670QM), I noticed it can use Intel Turbo Boost Technology to go up to 3.10GHz, but after checking my BIOS, no setting like that turns up. I've had this laptop I purchased in mid-2012 and it's been perfect for gaming and daily use, but I recently attempted to stream console gaming with an Elgato Game Capture HD and kept getting skipped frames no matter what I changed. Hello! This my first thread on this site due to the fact that I can't find anything to help me on the entire internet.
