Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology allows the processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency. Turbo Boost is available when the processor works below its rated power, temperature, and current specification limits. The ultimate advantage is opportunistic performance improvements in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.

I want to explain how you can identify Turbo Boost 2.0-related performance limitations on your system.

We can use HWiNFO to identify what is limiting our Turbo Boost 2.0 performance. The objective as an overclocker is to have the Turbo Boost performance limited only by the Max Turbo Limit. That is the maximum CPU ratio configured in the BIOS, and we can override that to achieve higher frequencies and performance.
