Ok I've read quite a bit about precision boost and xfr2 and it sounds fantastic on the X models.

I'm a bit confused about how to get the best out of the non X models though. Just leave it to boost to 3.9 or manually overclocking?

Thanks

If i overclock it will it stop the additional single core boost performance? Its 90% for gaming.
Thanks

Ok so with the X model because it has a higher boost clock (4.25 Ghz) you're less likely to achieve that across all cores. With the Non X its highly possible you can get more than 3.9 Ghz across all cores so you would be better overclocking it?
 
Its not an issue at all i just want to understand if they are worth overclocking since some people are reporting worse gaming performance when overclocking vs letting precision boost/XFR do its thing.

Also the 2600 isn't as different to an X as the i5 is to an i7. I understand the X is better but its 25% more expensive but i doubt its 25% better :)
