So I got back around to playing with a combo I got from Newegg like a year ago (G3258 + GA B85M-Gaming 3)
I noticed I can set the base frequency as low as 8 (x100 = 800MHz) and the turbo up to 40 (well even higher, but an even 4ghz is fine)
I noticed that it actually works. When idle the machine sits at 800MHz (and at a much lower voltage) and while stress testing its stable at 4GHz. When doing random tasks its bounces all around as needed.
Is there any disadvantage to this?
Thanks.
