how to enable turbo boost on dell laptop

The only BIOS version that has worked for me was 3.2.0. Once the system is restarted automatically BIOS Update is performed and BIOS is reverted back to my current version 3.7.0.Īnd finally we are getting to the moment how I have managed to disable/enable Turbo Boost. Maybe this is the reason why after the Downgrade process is completed and Windows is started in the notification panel appears message that Restart is required in order to finish with the update of BIOS 3.7.0. I have noticed that during the Downgrading of the BIOS everything went normal except when 'Sending Intel(R) Management Engine Firmware Update' process was completed after it appeared message 'ME Firmware Downgrade was not allowed' and then 'ME update failed'. I have downloaded different old BIOS versions (3.6.0, 3.4.0 and 3.2.0) from DELL site and tried downgrade the BIOS by executing the downloaded 'exe' file from Windows. This get us to the solution which accidentally I have found that worked for me and I hope can be helpful for someone else as well.

After some BIOS update onward these options could not be changed. As my other unit does not have these problems I have started searching in Internet if there is any solution. In fact, after spending some time inside BIOS, I have noticed that as well is not possible to change the options of 'Intel SpeedStep', 'C-State Control', 'Intel Hyper-Threading Technology' and 'Intel Virtualization Technology' (maybe I am missing some other option as well). And then I realized that it is not possible and when I toggle it 'off' it returns to 'on' position again. As the issue (which officially as per DELL is not an issue but I am really in doubt about this) of the flashing charging light when the laptop is connected to charger and Turbo Boost kick in is really annoying I wanted to disable Turbo Boost from BIOS. My current BIOS version is 3.7.0 and system is running on Windows 11 Pro. When I bought the second unit first thing I did was to upgrade all drivers and BIOS as well. First one doesn’t have any issues with disabling/enabling all functions possible inside BIOS (current BIOS version 3.7.0). I want to share how I managed to enable/disable Intel Turbo Boost (for those facing issues with this).įirst some introduction with my case.
