8700K boost mode when overclocked

I'm looking at buying an OCUK Prebuild with the 8700K overclocked to 4.9. When overclocked does the boost mode increase stay the same i.e stock is 3.7G and boost is 4.7/4.6/4.4/4.3 depending on cores used. Does that mean if overclocked to 4.9 that boost is 5.9/5.8/5.6/5.5 or is the boost feature lost / reduced once you overclock to that level?

Apologies if its an obvious answer but it's been some years since I was looking properly at PC specs and have not really done much overclocking at all.

Thanks

I'd imagine it would be 4.9 fixed on all cores regardless of load / number of cores in use. It defineitly won't be 5.9/5.8/5.6/5.5 !

Thanks. That's what I thought but wanted to double check.I'd seen some vids of games with people running this chip at 5g and it was always showing the same clockrate.
