I just started working with an i7-3770 (non-K) system today, and indeed the BIOS is giving me the option to increase the turbo ratios up to 43. Once I get the system up and running (a job for tomorrow) I'll have a little play and see what HWMonitor says.
Unfortunately that machine is using the stock Intel cooler so I shouldn't push it too far.
Quite unexpected!
EDIT: further discussion of my findings is in this thread.
Yesterday, looking deeper in my Z77 Pro4-M BIOS, I found out there's an OC tweak for i7 or i5 "non-K" version.
After turning it on, I rebooted my G5 and CPU-Z is displaying that CPU frequency : 4300 Mhz (peaks, in boost mode I suppose)
