How to keep my I5-3350p cool, stable, no oc

[HeroicKevin92]

Hello, I recently came across a sweet I5-3350P already on a mobo. So, I got together my old CPU stuff, 14GB RAM & my Galaxy GTX 650 ti boost 2gb, Thermaltake 1050w Toughpower Grand PSU ect.

MY MAIN QUESTION, I want to know if it is worth it to use Turbo Boost on this Processor ?
I see it only goes about .2 from 3.1 to 3.3ish-mhz

Now, if my CPU is only gonna turbo for .2 =mhz shouldn't I just disable it & call it a day ?
Or is it REALLY vital for the health & stability of my PC to keep it on?
I do game. But I am not heavy on HUGE resolutions?
So, I keep my res low & graphic settings high.


I know turbo boost basically lowers all cores to make 1 core work the most. But, I read that turning it off & having all cores run the same is actually pretty stable & WAY less stressful on the PC.

But, yeah that is my main question. Sorry for the extra info I just like to explain stuff in detail.
Thank you in advance 😀

Turbo boost doesn't cause any instability. Leave it enabled.
Turbo boost increases operating frequency in single thread workload scenarios (does not lower anything).
Intel Enhanced SpeedStep Technology does operating frequency lowering to save power - it changes frequency (depending on workload) multiple times per second.

Okay, I have Turbo enabled. And it seems to be working fine. But, it is recommended to have Speedstep enabled ONLY with an SSD. I have an HD at the moment & have it disabled.

Speedstep has nothing to do with SSDs. It helps to reduce power consumption. Leave it enabled.
Where do you get such ideas?
