Turbo Boost Technology works automatically to give your CPU more speed when needed.There’s no need for users to install or configure it, as it’s enabled by default on all operating systems.
Though you can also disable Turbo mode from the BIOS, it’s not recommended to do so unless you’re troubleshooting specific issues or trying to collect consistent performance measurements. You’ll see more efficient performance and higher peak clock speeds with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology enabled.
However you can consider disable or enable the turbo boost as PC using requirements. Below a typical case for your reference：
Turbo Boost is beneficial for tasks that require short bursts of speed. For example, when you are rendering video or working with complex spreadsheets, Turbo Boost can significantly reduce the time required for these tasks. It automatically allows the CPU to operate faster than its base clock speed, which can lead to improved system responsiveness and reduced wait times for intense workloads.
Turning off Intel Turbo Boost is typically recommended for those looking to lower their system’s temperatures or improve battery life. Without the extra speed provided by Turbo Boost, the CPU maintains a more consistent performance level, drawing less power and generating less heat. This can be particularly helpful for laptop users who need to prolong their battery life during extended periods away from a power source. However, by disabling this feature, one must be prepared for the trade-off of experiencing slower performance during peak usage.
