Hoho.....yay!!!
I did it. The last time I try 4.4GHz was very unstable...only able to run SuperPI 1M.......everything were impossible.
Last night...........didn't get very much sleep....pay off big time!
NOW, 4.52GHz on air....that's 69% overclocked for quad.....PASSED all tests.
(This is for the benching purpose. After this, I'll be converting back to use Turbo....

Yup, that's the idea behind Intel's Turbo Boost. 1st generation of Turbo Boost won't benefit much for i7 (except i7-860 & i7-870) since it has lower upper limit.
For mild overclockers up to 4GHz, you may find a better benefit of Turbo Boost with dependencies of your board, rams can take up to 185bclk Turbo. Which could yield the same or better results.....for everyday use.
