CPU Overclocking advice?

When you overclock your CPU are you changing the boost clock or the base clock? And What happens to the turbo boost feature if you exceed the turbo boost clock itself? I'm confused..

I don't like 2D games...I just couldn't get into them.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You change the multiplier and voltage, base clock isn't recommended unless you know what you're doing or familiar with overclocking.

You mainly just tweak the multiplier and the voltage these days. You can do more, but I suggest looking more into the details of how to squeeze every last power from the chip.

But just multiplier and voltage is good enough for the vast majority.

I know but when you overclock to 4.5ghz for example is that your new base clock? Or is that the speed that the CPU will go to from its original base clock?

That's your new base clock. What you're thinking of is adjusting turbo boost clocks or doing some sort of adaptive shit.

Base clock should be 100 mhz, multiplier would be 45, and that would make your clock speed 4.5 ghz. Turbo boost is usually disabled when overclocking.

That's the speed, your base clock should be "100" and when you set your multiplier to "45" it becomes "4500" in MHz which mean 4.5GHz
