I'm reading both sides on this - some people say it's better to overclock your CPU, others say Intel turboboost doesn't really work well with server workloads. Others are recommending turning turboboost off for cooling's sake.

Any opinions?

I've got a Thinkpad with a I7-6600u with a base clock speed of 2.6 ghz, 2 cores, 4 threads, turbo boost to 3.4 ghz. It's lightly loaded now, running Proxmox, the BBS, a Pihole LXC container, Nginx Proxy Manager, and a test Windows AD environment which is usually shut off.
