Dumb i5-3570K overclocking question.

Pardon my lack of current knowledge of overclocking but I have a couple of quick questions about the i5-3570K I am getting.

When the cpu is overclocked does the Turbo mode still kick in?

If it does kick in, what are people listing as their speeds when they say they have overclocked? The base speed or the turbo speed?

Can you overclock when using the built in GPU or do you need a separate graphics card?

Thanks for any help!
 
Good question and one I'd like to know as well. Normally the turbo for the 3570k is 3.8Ghz I believe but since I'm currently at 4.3Ghz and I haven't disabled turbo how does it work in that instance? Should it be disabled?

Yeah, are you getting 4.7 Ghz when Turbo kicks in?
 
Turbo shouldn't kick in with manual multiplier settings. If I set it at the stock BCLK and multiplier of 45x, it will never exceed 4.5GHz even at stress testing loads.
