i7 920xm extreme no turbo boost after clean windows 10 install

[Blackyhimself]

Hi guys,

 

Apologies for posting on multiple forums. I cant seem to get ThrottleStop to work since reinstalling windows 10.

 

Previously Throttlestop seemed to be the only way to get the Turbo Boost functioning and it was working well. I was running the m15x with an i7920XM and 7970m and all working great (after a minor BIOS blip with the 7970m). However, I hadn't used the laptop for about a year (built a new desktop) and wanted to get it ready to sell (hence the clean Windows install). I've now reinstalled windows and ThrottleStop but now the multiplier doesn't seem to change no matter what settings I tweak. It just stays at a multiplier of 9 which kind of defeats the point of having the i7 Extreme.

 

Has anyone come across this? Maybe i'm just forgetting something (its been a while). Maybe I've installed it wrong?

 

Set Multiplier ticked and set to 16T, Disable Turbo unticked, Power Saver unticked, TRL set to 26, 25, 20, 20.

 

Please help!

False alarm! Turns out I had to toggle Speedstep in the Bios. 

 

Now working fine. Phew!
