4570 non "K" 4 core max turbo

On the 4570/4590 or any non "K" Haswell, is it possible on the Z97 motherboards (Asus Z97-A) to force max turbo on all 4 cores, so in games or max load all cores would be at 3.6Ghz on a 4570 (default 3.2ghz, max turbo 3.6 in specs)...

I read that the default turbo is something like 3.6ghz - 2 cores, 3.5ghz - 3 cores, 3.4ghz - 4 cores, or something like that.... I also read you can get "multicore enhancement" but does this definitely work with Haswell on Z97 boards (Asus Z97-A)?

Meh think I will go with a K, it is a bit stupid mounting my Thermalright macho cooler on a 4570.

Id just go for the K version - gives you the chance to overclock later if you need a performance boost

Yeh I Was looking at saving some money and getting a 4570 but may as well just get a good one now instead of buying a 4570 and then replacing it in 6 months probably.

Yeah, even with turbo, you're gaining 0.3-0.5 GHz, maximum. With the K you can get a good 1ghz OC, will make a big difference.

I would not OC to 4.8ghz 24/7 because I don't want a dead PC but 4.2-4.4 at 1.2v hopefully.

Yeah, 4.4/4.5 is the sweet spot. (I meant 1ghz over stock, not turbo)

Your PC will not die if its kept within safe voltages.

From what I have read the best is about 4.2-4.4 at about 1.25v max and after that the heat and power consumption goes up massively for every 100mhz so its not worth it, I ordered a fractal R4 case and already got a thermalright macho so hopefully I can get a 4670k to about those speeds / volts without it getting too hot.
