It allows CPU to dynamically adjust clock speed when needed.
Enable when you want to get the most power and least power consumption.
Disable if you already OC at max and don't care about power consumption OR you don't OC and don't need procesing power.

In that case, enable it.
It is a technology that tries to underclock your CPU when it is not under load, so it needs less power and generates less heat. If you don't always game/do heavy work on your PC, it helps to save some money and make it run less hot.

talgaby, but only it serves to save power and less heat to the CPU, or even improves performance in some games?
What mean this "it helps to save some money" You mean energy consumption?
Look here the results:

It won't improve gaming performance, it just makes sure that the CPU won't run at maximum frequency when it is not needed.
And yes, it saves money by dropping the energy consumption a little.

Talgaby "it just makes sure that the CPU won't run at maximum frequency when it is not needed." you mean this? Look picture.
Comment has been collapsed.
if that is an in-game image, then that is what processing power the game might currently be using - not the whole processing power of your cpu - remember, there are other things going on in your OS (using cpu power), even when you are in game - turning the feature on just allows the computer to idle at min processing power, but able to jump to max when required - nothing to do with gaming results/perf - this is often used in laptops especially, to increase battery times

I disable this AMD TURBO CORE TECHNOLOGY becuz "Enable" with Deus Ex Mankind Divided on Menus (save, load game etc...) the temperature go 49° degrees, and disable this have 35° degrees, so i decide turn off this AMD TURBO CORE TECHNOLOGY
Comment has been collapsed.
49° is nothing to be worried about. Enable it if you need the performance. Or just leave it on for peace of mind.

Max temp according to this is 61° (which seems quite low tbh)

talgaby say that activating or disabling does not improve performance in games, but only that savings for a little bit of home energy consumption, if im not wrong.

Just read the specs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Turbo_Core
http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/turbo-core
Activating will improve performance in anything if necessary.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since it does not improve performance because they activate it to get more temperature? Now to disable it and have decent temperature.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just enable it, if you do not OC, it's nothing more but an automatic CPU power control.
Temps jump higher because PC thinks you need more CPU power ( for example when gaming)
When you turn off game or other CPU heavy application, CPU will reduce it's frequency to save power and lower temps.
If you disable it,your CPU will work with 100% frequency all the time. Unless you need 100% all the time i highly suggest to enable it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because when I play Deus Ex Mankind Divided when they are in the game, the temperature is 35 degrees and when I go in the menu except where jumps to 49 degrees?
On BIOS have 3 option "Enable" "Disable" & "Auto"
Comment has been collapsed.
It's possible that the framerate is not limited in the menus and it then jumps through the roof.
Don't lose much thought over the temperature, it's fine.

But if the leaves disabled something serious happens? The guy "Peacefull420" say "If you disable it, your CPU will work with 100% frequency all the time. Unless you need 100% all the time i highly suggest to enable it."
It 'something serious or that will break the CPU?
Comment has been collapsed.
If you have the CPU operating at 100% all the time it will use a lot of electricity. Leave it on like everybody's suggested.
And it won't break the CPU. Generally, if a CPU gets too hot the Mainboard will speed up the fans, the CPU will throttle or switch off.
Comment has been collapsed.
If the Bios option says "Turbo Core" then enable.
What motherboard is it?
Edit: One other thing:
Check your video card driver for an option to limit the framerate. Set it to 80 or such and then see what happens in the same scene.
No need to output 100 or 200 fps in menus for example.
Unless you're using a 144 fps monitor, then stick at 180ish.

Yeah in the BIOS have AMD TURBO CORE TECHNOLOGY with 3 options "Enable" "Disable" & "Auto".

i don't know if you are a troll or just not capable to read what people wrote... someone already posted all the answers you need:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Turbo_Core
"AMD Turbo Core is used to increase processor frequency."
So yes of course its better if you want more performance and are a gamer...if you use your system only for excel etc..than just disable that feature.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not troll, i don't understand if i put "Auto" or "Enable"
Comment has been collapsed.
ah - I think I might see the confusion - Auto generally means that the system handles it- so it will decide - enable means you have decided that this needs to be set to on (your decision is enabled).
Comment has been collapsed.
If I may ask another question since it's the last one that will, I swear xD, but if I leave it disabled AMD Turbo CORE TECHNOLOGY, and the CPU (Core) use 100% of frequency, nothing happens? I mean broken CPU?
Comment has been collapsed.
No - it just means the cpu is running as normal - in basic/standard mode - if you can boot into windows and run games without issues, then your cpu is fine - any glitches graphically are usually down to the graphics card; play with the settings of that to make it work
Although gosteam (see answer below) says they can cause stutter (never did for me, but it is possible) - so to check this, disable feature, check games again, if they are still stuttering - then it was not that feature causing the problem, and you can choose to re-enable or leave auto.
I have an intel chip now that uses boost to go 15% above stated speed when required under load, but had an AMD and used the feature to keep temps under control - when computer was idle it would dial down the speed and idle the chip - thus lowering temps and power use - good for me as my heatsink was crap :)
As for temps - do not worry - anything below 70 (even higher some times) will not usally shut your computer down or cause issues - temps rise when under load, it is normal - the temps you mention above is very low overall - my motherboard is set to shut down at thermal ceiling of 85 degrees :)

Then disable or enable this option, when it comes to gaming performance does not change anything? The user "gosteam" said "serves more to the deskopt" applications but I with the only PC game, so at this point I disable it?
At this point I also lowers the temperature a little (and it never hurts XD), I would like to have an answer on this question "Disabling, and have the CPU frequency to 100% does not damage the CPU and the GPU?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Turbo Core only increases the frequency of the working cores beyond the 100% CPU limit when half of the cores are idling (the overall voltage is increased at the same time). It's only used to push the CPU over the limit when it's not working at maximum. Turbo Core is not the same technology that downclocks the CPU to save power, that one is called Cool'n'Quiet. If you want both power savings to not to have your CPU at 100% all the time as well as occasional speed boosts, you should enable both. Note that enabling C6 State (that allows parking individual cores) is required for Turbo Core to function properly. You may also enable C1E State to save power even further.
Also, Turbo Core on Auto doesn't seem to do anything for me, so I set in on Enabled.

I would like to know if it remains disabled for me, nothing happens? As the breaking of the CPU and GPU?
Comment has been collapsed.
If you disable Turbo Core it simply won't overclock itself to 4.2 GHz when not all the cores are loaded, it will stay at its official 4.0 GHz frequency.
Comment has been collapsed.
Perfect, so it is not a serious thing as breaking the GPU and CPU, disabling it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, perfectly safe to either disable or enable it. You can experiment yourself and see what gives you better performance.
Comment has been collapsed.
Already tested, with "Enable" "Auto" "Disable", and I found no difference, the only difference is the CPU temperature gets up to 10 degrees, and reaches 51 ° degrees.

If you are a gamer, disable it in BIOS. Turbo core improves performance of desktop applications, but it causes stutter in games.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Auto" sometimes stutters with random fps drops, AMD CPU's have a poor handling of frequency changes mid-game.
Leave at at On if you don't OC. But I recommend you to use your Motherboard's auto OC (90% of the MOBO's have it now, especially MSI's) and leaving Turbo off.

Can someone advise me if it is better to have it activate or deactivate it?
