overclock boost speeds?

[gamerdude1989]

Hi guys

right, Id like to think of myself as a fairly experienced overclocker, have been doing it for years..
But ive always done it the way of "disabling spread spectrum", "disabling boost clocks" etc.
To get the most out of my chip..

But obviously, disabling boost clock, causes your CPU to run at full tilt permanently, instead of having a step down to low clocks while idling..

But im currently building a new half decent gaming pc, with a FX 8350, But instead of disabling boost clock and reaching max overclock and leaving it there permanently..

i want to know if there is a way to find the max overclock, (say for example, 4.8ghz), So it runs at stock clocks while idle, to save power, but then jumps up to my overclock clocks when under load?

is there anyway of just overclocking the boost clocks?

cheers

Does your board have a turbo boost ratio? Otherwise haven't a clue.

the only issue with doing it with stepping/turbo enabled is you tend to need more voltage, but yes its possible although i haven't over clocked a fx cpu since before i bought my 2500k. so perhaps im wrong "although im 99% sure you can do it. but i couldnt tell you how on the amd cpus.
I can tell you for intell because thats how i do it, I prefer the down clocking. and i do take a slight hit on my max over clock because with stepping enabled 4.3 is the best i can get 100% stable at safe voltages.
