Check your CPU’s base clock and boost clock in the manufacturer’s specs
Open Task Manager, Resource Monitor, or a hardware monitor tool
Run a single-core benchmark or light workload
Watch CPU frequency during the test
Confirm the clock speed rises above base clock under load
Check CPU temperature and power limits while boosting
Verify BIOS/UEFI has turbo boost enabled
Ensure Windows power plan is set to Balanced or High Performance
Update chipset drivers and BIOS/UEFI if needed
Compare observed boost behavior with the CPU’s advertised boost range
