Hi, noob here, looking to explore the world of overclocking and trying to cobble together an undestanding of the process.
Currently I am able to utilize the Turbo Boost to increase the clock speed of my GPU and CPU by 31% (my CPU runs @ 4.3, forget # on GPU atm). What I want to know is this: If I am currently content with my system being at 4.3Ghz via the Turbo Boost function, is there any reason to try manually OCing?
Here are 2 things I have heard:
1. Turbo Boost essentially boosts the system when it deems necessary (all 4 cores are being "pushed") so you are not ALWAYS running at a particular speed. Is this accurate information? If so, is the process efficient and reliable?
2. Read a couple of places that Turbo Boost Voltages are set too high. I have not consistently read this anywhere, but I am clueless so not sure if this info is accurate.
