Ok, VERY dumb question here:

Ok, what is the benefit of increasing the TDP and TDC (watts and currents) in the Turbo Boost section of the BIOS, even if you have Turbo boost disabled (and thus the independent core multipliers and watts and amps are all greened out?)

Like, what benefit would setting them to something like 150 amps and 250 watts do?

Default is 93 and 95 or around there....

I tried setting it to 40 amps and 50 watts (I had to temporarily enable turbo boost to do this) and then re-disabled it, so the fields were greened out again, but the 40 and 50 still showed. I was wondering if it would even take effect if turbo boost were completely disabled.

Result: HELLO CLEAR CMOS (computer kept freezing at the CPU string display in POST, either freezing completely, or turning itself off after 15 seconds while on that string and turning on again....not even the overclock failed feature would kick in...it kept showing 100x34 so it tried to reset the settings, but I guess my amp/tdp limits stopped the cpu from working?)

Pressed the clear cmos button, loaded my saved profile, and I was back to normal. But what happened anyway?

Does raising the Amps to 150 and watts to 250 cause any boost in performance when overclocking (example: 5 ghz and 1.4vcore?), if all poewr saving options are set to disabled?

BTW I was doing this on a UD5. UD7 should be the same, anyway...(so I posted here)
