Overclocking CPU Boost
Overclocking CPU Boost
Kordanor :
I checked the picture from Pauls Hardware's YouTube video. Does it really demonstrate adjusting the individual CPU boost based on how many cores are under stress? Or is it something else entirely? I haven't seen that before, thank you for letting me know—it looks like you're right, and I'll have to test it in my BIOS this afternoon. 😀
CPU boost typically reaches its maximum capacity, even when set to 5GHz, as stability limits performance. I’d rather overclock to 4.6GHz and ensure everything runs smoothly, since that speed is more than enough for gaming.
Initially, you cannot adjust the boost for individual cores; only the active ones can be modified. Secondly, within a certain range, you often achieve a greater overclock by disabling some cores—such as turning off five out of six—as each core generates its own heat. Therefore, you won’t be able to surpass the boost of a 6-core processor compared to a 4-core one from the same generation. The processor type also plays a significant role in determining the achievable boost.
