How did you manage to tell whether or not Geekbench is giving full boost?

Your Q9550 is equally as impressive. Unfortunately for me, my Q9550S sits in a Dell Optiplex 780 that I found in the trash and doesn't have any bios features that allow for overclocking. As you can see from my post above, your Q9550 outperforms my Q9550S by well over 30%. Absolutely amazing. Nice work!!
HwMonitor shows boost. As i'll show on the task bar , so during testing I can see my Freq and temps to all cores in real time. I set the refresh speed to as it happens.
As for the Q9550. I have a P5Q Pro Turbo with 8 phase power delivery (I do believe thats what it is) I got it years ago to play around with overclocking but never got into it until recently. I got some really good silicone with the 9550. I had to back down the clock to 3.83ghz on Air on it cause I needed to steal the water cooler backplate to mount my Noctua onto this i5 6600k (As I used the backplate to hold on the water cooler, Needed to retro fit stuff)
