Recently installed an I7 2720QM in my Asus K73E (which came with an i3 that did not support turbo boost). I am unable to utilize Intel turbo boot due to my BIOS (as far as I know). Turboboost Monitor indicates the cpu is always at 2.2 GHz, (shouldn't it throttle down at idle?) when maxed out with prime 95, and has some room left in temperatures. Will not achieve anything near it's 3.3GHz potential, although still a nice improvement over the i3.
Some Speedstep or XTU ability to throttle down would be great as well.
I did see some posts in here while searching that had some stuff for lenovo laptops with the same VBIOS prefix, but dont know enough about this to be flashing them.
Thanks!
