CPU upgrade results with Dawntrail benchmark.

4.7 is the stock turbo boost frequency, you haven't done anything but possibly lock one core to its out of the box limit. I do hope you tested each core to lock the one that is the best but with what you just said I doubt you even went that far. I wouldn't call that overclocking really.

It's been running like this happily for about six years. I've had no complaints. I didn't have much interest in trying to push five I just wanted the one core to be boosted so I set it higher.

I'm not saying you should mess with it, as a matter of fact if your CPU is doing what you want it to and you are happy you shouldn't. That said locking the frequency to something it would achieve out of the box and calling it an overclock is a bit of a stretch.

Alright, I'm not really bothered tbh. I wasn't looking to debate you on it. I was more hoping to see how others with same CPU were fairing.
