Hey
Turned on OC Genie on on my Z77A-GD65 with i5-3570k just to see what it came out with (raised multiplier to 42 and turned off power saving features). When I turned it back off, the multiplier only returned to 38 (it was 34 before, right?) and all the power saving features + turbo boost were left off. Setting everything back to auto and turning all the power saving features on, the cores rarely throttle back when not under load - one will for about a second every minute or so.
I'm not hugely bothered as when I have a bit of spare time I'm going to play with my first overclock, I just found it a little odd!
Edit: I guess I ought to have put this under mobos
