Planning to upgrade the performance of my i7 8700k. My motherboard is an ASUS PRIME Z390-A. When adjusting settings for overclocking, should I turn off or leave on Intel Speed Shift? Additionally, does "Turbo Mode" refer to what ASUS calls Turbo Boost?

Speedstep adjusts the CPU speed according to how much work is being done. When not in use, it conserves energy by lowering the speed, and when under heavy demand, it sets an optimal power-to-speed ratio. It's best to keep it active right now. And turbo mode is basically a boost feature.

Speedstep adjusts or reduces CPU speed according to workload. When idle, it conserves energy by lowering the frequency, and during heavy use, it sets an optimal power-to-frequency ratio increase. It's best to keep it on right now. And yes, turbo mode is basically a boost feature.
