I have a Core i5 4590 and I read about undervolting the CPU in order to reduce temperatures without sacrificing performance, so I put it to the test and it works pretty good. I managed to lower the voltage to 0.096 and my system is still 100% stable.
Now, I found info about locking the Turbo-boost on Haswell chips, so that all cores run at the maximum speed when needed. I checked and my motherboard (Gigabyte Sniper B6) has the necessary settings to achieve that, but I'm curious about how good will the processor handle that settings. Can I both undervolt the CPU and lock the turbo-boost? Or should I choose only one over the other? Can I damage the CPU for trying this?
