I was just curious to see if anyone has tried overclocking their i5 whilst keeping turbo mode enabled?

I know you won't be able to go huge on the overclock, but turbo mode seems like a great feature and I was wondering how much of a difference a small overclock with turbo would make to performance? especially with regards to efficiency vs a bigger "always high" overclock.

I've come across a little online but not a lot and was wondering if anyone had any hands on experience?

Not tried it but to be honest I think it'd make overclocking in the first place a bit redundant, but I guess the theory is if the i5 is capable of hitting 4GHz but you don't need 4GHz all the time, work out what base overclock you'd need to take turbo up to 4GHz when it kicks in.

Personally I'm going the profile route and just loading an appropriate OC for my i7 depending on what I'm doing - rarely do I mix up what I'd be doing in any particular computing session, so I'm easy to just fire off a new profile (Windows or BIOS with reboot) and be rock n roll.
