Can you try any methods to make the 9700f perform better at higher boost settings?

Sure, I can help with that. To run your i7 9700F at boost speeds continuously for peak performance, you'll need to balance cooling and power delivery. Consider using high-end liquid cooling, adjusting fan curves, and ensuring proper airflow. Also, monitor temperatures closely and tweak BIOS settings if needed. Let me know if you want more details!
Honestly I don't see a point in this, your computer runs at boost speeds when it needs and can use the extra power. Running at max boost while reading email is kind of pointless, you won't read your email any faster.
In many cases it seems unnecessary, yet for some it’s crucial. I had to drop my top 5 and 5.1ghz boosts on my i7 8086ks. This was needed for modded games such as Space Engineers that rely on Havok physics. The vanilla titles most impacted were those demanding heavy CPU power like AC:O, while SOTTR performed similarly with minimal difference. With AC:O I experienced stuttering at 4k, nearly making the game unplayable. It was surprising since I’d heard about it, but the performance remained solid for me. The only noticeable gap was just a few frames. Without the boosts, my modded titles felt sluggish. To restore smoothness, I either had to cut content or upgrade my CPUs. Games that run at frequency need a CPU capable of sustaining at least 5ghz on two cores (ideal) or 5.35mhz (basic). This could take years. Just search YouTube for overclocking guides tailored to your board and processor. That’s what I do when starting an overclock journey.
