Turbo Boost and OC

[Ardy]

Hell everyone.

What's the difference between Turbo-Boost and Overclocking on an i7 4790K?
I realized that when I set the bas clock to 100 and the ratio to 46 my CPU speed shows up as 4.6 GHz however I cannot turn off Turbo Boost without the CPU going back to 4 GHz. Why?

I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all the help this forum has given me.

turbo boost is a dynamic technology that uses heat and power usage as parameters to determine seperately what each core can clock up to.

overclocking raises the maximum of what your processor can clock up to, within those set parameters.
