Hello, I was wondering when overclocking the igpu for the A8 6600k from 844mhz to 1000mhz, should I disable turbo core and spread spectrum?

I also noticed when playing games the CPU mostly uses only 2 cores the other 2 are usually at a very low usage rate. Should I enable turbo core for only the two cores that are being heavily used or overclock the cpu to the same frequency as the turbo by increasing the multiplier?

Thanks in advance.

P.S: I enabled Intel XMP to 1866 already for the ram and have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Im not sure what spread spectrum is, but i know that the APUs have soem thermal headroom, so i say yes, but watch those thermals! The GPU creates the most heat in a computer.

You might want to disable turbo core, if the heat gets too bad.
