You must have misunderstood something somewhere. "Intel Turbo Boost" is the whole CPU overclocking to the turbo multiplier.

Windows can put cores to sleep if they are not used and not needed. The CPU uses a different turbo multiplier when this happens. This might be where your confusion comes from. For example, the i5-3570 has default turbo multipliers 38, 38, 37 and 36 for number of cores running. It's running at 3.6 GHz if all four cores are on, and it's running at 3.8 GHz if two cores are off.

Also, the i5-2500k from the OP has four cores and can run one thread per core, so it's 4 threads in total.

Thx for clarification. What i heard was if you are on i7 if you turbo up you'll lose the virtual threads. Can't remember where i heard that from.

Yes, 1.28V ist a bit high for 4.2GHz. Quite a lot CPU's are able to do this on stock voltage and most just need a slight raise for that. You should really set it to 1.2 or something in that region, you'll get even lower temperature then. Or else, put it on 4.5 and see what happens, it should work easily with that kind of voltage.
