2600K, HT and Turbo

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a PCS pre-overclocked i7 2600K (4.6GHz) system and have a few questions:

1) Is HT still enabled with the OC?
2) Is the Turbo mode still enabled?
3) Does the OC work with 16Gb RAM installed?

Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

As far as i am aware:

1) yes
2) yes
3) yes depending on board

1 & 2 i believe are required in order to achieve a high clock on the 2600k although myself personally have not yet had the opportunity to play with these chips.

Why would you leave turbo mode enabled? surely this would cause stability issues if it boosts itself from 4.6Ghz to 4.9+Ghz.

Thats not how it works with SB.

You can overclock the Turbo. so for example. my 2600k runs at 1600 when idle, then spikes up to 4.9 when it gets used.

This is an optional way of OC, you can disable turbo and pump it at rull wack all the time. However you can also control the juice to drop as well.

so i go from 1600 @ 1.125v up to 4.9 @ 3.45v

hope this helped.
