My rig:
CPU: intel i5-2500k Quad Core 3,30 Ghz GPU: Msi Gtx 970 Gaming 4GB RAM: 8GB OS: Windows 10 Home Monitor: 1920x1080 Hello, I have done my 1st cpu overclock and the results were not according to my expectations. I overclocked 33 CPU Ratio to 40 so each core has 4,0 Ghz and CPU Core Voltage to 1150 V. I tried playing Witcher 3 Wild Hunt afterwards and there was 0 difference in performance, FPS was the same only CPU temperature raised from 38-50°C (60°C+ while gaming) to 70°C+ after few minutes, so I turned CPU settings back to normal. I don't know if the problem is that my CPU is 5year old ( it's the only part in my pc that I haven't upgraded yet) and the thermal paste must be completely decomposed and that I am using CPU stock cooler, but other people who I know got a lot better results. Can you guys please tell me what's wrong or advice me what settings should I use? I am 18 years old and studying at Grammar school so I am not so good at those things, actually I am noob ![]() I am looking forward to your answers. Thanks ![]() ( Sorry for my english) |

Yeah you are right, btw I didn't expect 20% more fps, but atleast 3-5 which would be nice
![]() I've got a message from someone whom I asked for advice as well, he says : "Then it means your CPU stock setting performance is enough for this game and it's not an issue. In most games, getting higher FPS depends more on the GPU than the CPU. You'd only want to overclock a CPU for games that depend more on this, or to help prevent bottlenecking if your GPU is more powerful." - I think he might be right as well, this game isn't that much based on CPU but rather GPU...but I am not going to buy Titan X for that ![]() |
