| 1378565 | 2014-07-04 20:41:00 | I thought that the (K) series is the only way to overclock so how can you get an extra .4GHz from the i5 4690? Intel Ci5-4690 CPU - 3.5GHz / 3.9GHz Turbo - 6MB Cache - Quad-Core - Integrated HD 4600 Graphics |

| 1378566 | 2014-07-05 07:08:00 | Turbo boost is not overclocking, the core series cpus are designed to adjust the clock speed up and down to suit the type of load. For a single threaded app running on one core the cpu can "turbo" that core to 3.9 but if you load up all 4 cores it will clock at 3.5 which is why it specifies the two frequencies. It can also use in between speeds for partially threaded loads using 1-4 cores and can end up anywhere in that range. Also the non-k chips do allow a small amount of limited overclocking using the turbo boost feature |
