turbo involved?

No turbo, full clocks on both rigs.

Is it possible to post a benchmark and settings for a lower oc at around 4 GHz?

Does the core deactivating is a Crosshair V Formula only feature, or is there a chance to find it on a cheaper board???
I would like to start my own tests, but i dont know.

To be an alternative for i5 or i3, it is not very cool, to take a >200 $ board and pair it with a 100 $ FX-4 CPU and oc it so much. The bill from the energy supplier is part of the package too.
So your smart nb oc and 4 GHz on 3C/3T or 2M/2T, could be an alternative in dirt 3 for example. A test would be very helpful against i7 with resolution and quality specs and with simulated FX-4 @ stock. The results would be very, very helpful to compare it to other reviews, with more games testet.

Thanks for the great testing.

Here some results from rage3d => FX@nb oc:

Battlefield
Min fps Avg fps
109,50% 108,9 %

Civilization 5
175% 110%

Crysis 2
100% 106%

Medal of Honor
114% 117%

Add the 3CU/3C performance gain of 10-20 % and in the end, FX IS a gamer CPU.
