Forgive my noobness.
I'm currently on Lynnfield which serves it's purpose for gaming, but it's time to upgrade.
I was planning to wait for Skylake and take a look at that, but in reality I wouldn't mind settling for Haswell-E as I've started doing a bit of video editing so the extra cores would be nice. Plus the premium-ness of X99 is appealing I suppose.
Is there a way to have a toggle switch for overclock? i.e. Have a 5820k running at base clock speed or even underclocked so that I can run in near silence. But then have a button (hardware or software) that enabled the overclock so that when doing rendering tasks or playing new games I can benefit from the performance available??
Is this possible with certain boards?
TIA
