I've posted a couple of questions about this before, but I haven't really seen any clear-cut answers yet.
On the SB overclocking guide (http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?p=3830625), it says:
"I want to also mention that Turbo Mode, Real Time Ratio Change in OS, or even just disabling both make no change to your Overclock or affect its stability. The only thing that can help is with turbo mode you have the options to extend and set maximum TDP and TDC, I will talk about this later. If you have retail CPU please enable Internal CPU PLL Overvoltage option. "
Here's my question:
Let's say you overclocked to 4.5 GHz stably. If you enable turbo mode such that the max speed is 4.9 for 1 core active, 4.8 for 2 cores active, 4.7 for 3 cores active, and 4.6 for all 4 cores active, then wouldn't that negatively affect stability by allowing the CPU speed to go beyond the speed of the stable overclock (4.5 GHz)? Can someone explain what the guys over at Extreme Overclocking Forums meant when they said that it would not affect stability?
