    Turbo mode is activated on default. However, it lowers the boost as the following factors increase:

    Number of active cores

    Estimated current consumption

    Estimated power consumption

    Processor temperature

    So it's basically saying, it'll lower the speed boost, depending on how many of these factors come in to play, and how large they are.

    If you're talking about the turbo in Intel Core processors, it comes on whenever it can. It is limited by the load on the CPU, the temperature of the CPU, and so on.

    Depends on the computer. For tower PCs you can overclock, but overclocking a laptop will never work as the laptop can't handle the extra heat output.
