CPU performance

The 'OC' board is run with the CPU 500MHz faster than default. We've manually adjusted the Turbo Boost frequencies to maintain this 500MHz gap when one (4.4GHz), two (4.4GHz), three (4.3GHz) or four cores (4.2GHz) are running. Gigabyte's UD5H is competitive at stock speeds, and the mid-level overclock makes it around 10 per cent faster.

We see the same kind of improvement here with our basic overclock in place.

And guess what? Here too.
