I have overclocked my CPU to 3670 Mhz through the bios, see this pic -

The CPU base frequency (as you can see in the pic above) is as highest i can get while having everything else on stock settings (Intel power savings, EIST, Turbo boost, C1E, Hyper threading etc, are enabled in bios).
However, when i run CPU-Z and other CPU monitoring software such as AIDA64, the CPU clock goes up to 3860 Mhz under load, see this pic - http://i46.tinypic.com/6riljc.png
Is that because of the intel turbo boost? If so, is the performance with Inte turbo boost at 3860 Mhz as good as 3860 Mhz without turbo boost?
I thought of disabling intel turbo boost and try to clock the CPU to 3860 Mhz instead, but would it give me any performance increase with load?
Btw, the reason i have all the stock features enabled is because is dont want the CPU to run at maximum frequency all the time.
My Specs -
i7-860
MSI P55 GD-65
