Are these speeds normal? Isn't Turbo mode supposed to be on 1 core only? How does this work?

They get better performance than average? Or i'm living in a delusion? I don't really know how the turbo works, i just know the base speed should be 4.0 on all cores

Oooooohhh, so that is the case, a marketing trick after all. I thought maybe something is wrong with the CPU for a moment. Well, thanks for your time, noble farmer from Arkansas! :D

That's fine I wouldn't want that cooler on there permanently and keep an eye out for overheating on extended gaming or rendering sessions. The i3 cooler is smaller than the stock I7 one. I suspect it would throttle on a long prime run if you hit 78 on userbenchmark

Yeah man, the cooler will be replaced in 2 or 3 days at most, i don't even play games now, trying to keep it under 70C, since the cooler is miserable for this processor.
I was just wondering if my CPU is alright, got it from aliexpress XD
