Intel Turbo boost and overclocking

Componentgirl90 · Jun 30, 2015

If I overclock my processor to 4.4Ghz (i5 4690k), will the intel turbo boost push it up to 4.7Ghz or whatever? Or will the frequency always stay stable at 4.4Ghz

It depends. It won't do it automatically, so if you just put all cores to 4.4ghz and leave TURBO ON. Then stock will be 3.5ghz and turbo to 4.4ghz. But if you manually do it 4.4ghz 4 cores, 4.5ghz 3 cores, 4.6ghz 2 cores, then 4.7ghz 1 core then it would go to 4.7ghz.

Thanks for quick response. I just want to overclock it to 4.4Ghz and so the frequency is stable at that and doesn't vary, is that possible?

Yes. You can just disable turbo in the BIOS and have it run at 4.4ghz. However you'll use more power that way.

I set my 4690K to 4.5ghz boost on all 4 cores, it will stay at 4.5ghz on high loads then medium loads and under it will downclock to 3.5ghz to save energy. (Then of course on low to idle loads it will go down to 700mhz via speedstep.)
