I have a i5-2500K in a Asus P8P67 Rev 3.1 board.

The BCLK is set to 100.0 MHz and I upped the multiplier to 45. When stress testing in Prime 95, CPU-Z indicates that it ramps up to 4.5 GHz (from 1.6 at idle), and will run stably for hours.

My question is - should I bother disabling Turbo Boost? It seems that the the motherboard recognizes the manual overclock and won't boost it up to 5.9 GHz (which is where the Turbo multiplier of 59 would put it at).

I'm perfectly fine with it idling lower, I just wouldn't want it going above what I set it to.

Cool. Thanks for the response. So, I don't need to change any other settings then?

I have a Hyper 212 Plus on my 2500K in a Fractal R3 and my computer is virtually silent at idle. However, the CPU cooler gets a little loud for my taste under load. I'd like to replace the 120mm on the Hyper 212.

I know there's some recommended fans in the OP, but there is a general consensus on the best (quiestest) 120mm PWM fan?
