turbo boost while overclocking

[spliffstar69]

been out of the overclocking scene for awhile im doinga new build and wanted to know does a cpu still turbo boost if being overclocked?

I don't know about newer platforms like LGA 1150&1151, but on LGA 1366 the processor will use boost multipliers when it's overclocked, if turbo boost is not disabled. I assume that's still the case with the newer platforms, but I'm not 100% sure about it.

Usually you overclock with turbo multipliers now.

ill be using the x99 platform with 6700K

That will be an interesting test case. Mind those leftover socket pins. And turbo bins. ;-)

For stability porpoises, I usually disable turbo when going for a medium to max overclock. One less variable.

With a modest overclock, will let the Turbo ramp up. Just as long as it doesn't play havoc with apps that depend on stable DPC.

my fault i mean the 6800k

I don't use turbo boost while overclocking on my 5930K/X99 platform. Just find the highest stable speed at whatever voltage and cooling your comfortable with and call it a day. Turbo boost is good for default clock speeds but kind of useless once you start overclocking. You can set tighter Min/Max values (say 4.0Ghz base clock on all cores and then limit turbon to 4.3Gh) but kind of unnecessary once you've dialed in your overclocked settings.
