Hi I have an I5 8600k + Asrock Z370 Taichi + Seasonic 750w Gold + NZXT x62 AIO. I dont use the PC for gaming this last time, and I Recently overclock the 8600k from 3600mhz stock to 4600mhz ( I use a guide from a video so I put all cores at 46, voltage at offset 50) and the temps and VCORE at Windows was good at stress test. My question is : Is worth to have the CPU all time at 4600mhz to web browse, see videos, open programs, etc or I dont see a diferrent in speed up my PC? I want to be sure that the oc is worth it and is done good. Thanks

Sounds good to me. If it's stable, use it.

Stock turbo on the 8600K is between 4.1GHz-4.3GHz, running it @ 4.6GHz isn't going to make a difference in normal use. Of course it's technically faster but you won't be able to tell.

Since you're just doing basic computing put it back to stock, heck you can even try and undervolt it.
Also yes Turbo should be enabled by default, you can check all of that in BIOS settings too.

Ty I leave it stock and with the high performance plan at Windows 10 so the CPU is at 4000/4100mhz all the time

You can put it to balanced or custom, your chip doesn't need to be running at 4GHz just to watch a video or browse the web.
Since Turbo is enabled by default the it will clock itself up when needed, and down when it isn't (best of both worlds).
