    Doubtful
    Pretty sure it's automatic unless you disable it in BIOS.
    My stock is 3.8Ghz turbo.
    Too bad I overclocked mine to 4.5Ghz.

    I'm pretty sure it will fail and BIOS is gonna reset itself because increasing clocks to that high won't do shit if you don't add voltages.

    What possibly takes 4.5 GHz?

    I can run FL Studio with about 20 plugins running on 2.6Ghz. This would cause a shit PC like Mac to freeze.

    Run most games with 10-15% usage.

    I don't know.
    Video rendering?
    CPU benchmarking?

    Is the extra money really worth it just to benchmark? My CPU was $90. Not a problem yet. Though my GFX is shit and screen goes black when loading too many windows.

    You ignored video rendering.
    The hyperthreading helps a lot.

    I rarely make videos other than Crossfire gameplay which takes about 10 mins to render a 5-6 min video. I can't complain.

    I'm thinking of making a new build as soon as I get money with the new LGA2011 CPU's.
