It doesn't make sense just because of how things are set up. A system like yours isn't necessarily better for everyone else either. While this setup works fine, if you want your computer to get cooler than usual, putting a radiator on the front helps much more since it pulls cool outside air in and lets hot inside air out. The gain is small but real.
Well technically if those cores are running at 4.7GHz that is an overclock or turbo boost because the normal speed without boosting is usually around 3.8GHz, I think. The main question here is whether you can push it to 5GHz or not and that depends on how good your cooling is. First off, running Prime95 gives a 10 to 12-degree Celsius higher temperature compared to regular tests like Aida64 or other stress tests. So if you want to check things under full load, use a free benchmark app and those stressed cores will really be around 68 degrees C. You can bet the chip will go up to 90 degrees C and still work fine, so yes, you can try pushing for an overclock of more than 4.7GHz on all cores or something like that. 🤷♀️😲👶☮👩🦲
