So I got a defective i9-13900k and essentially I had to turn off turbo boost to get it to work. (Apparently a semi-common problem with this chip) if I had turbo boost on it would crash programs randomly, interfere with windows updates, just cause all sorts of issues.

I RMA’d the chip and recently got my new i9 13900k in the mail and I noticed stuff runs a lot smoother. Just how big of an impact does turbo boost make in these chips?
