Stock, I would sometimes turbo boost it with asus's motherboard but not always.

overclock it (through the uefi bios on the startup page) there should be a optimized overclock you cna choose where it overclocks itself (safely) should be 3 buttons. 1 is energy save, 2 is normal, 3 is overclock, try a overclock first and test it before buying a new cpu.
