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 tongue.gif
I am looking forward to your answers. Thanks smile.gif
( Sorry for my english)

Note : I edited my post while you were replying.

GTX Titan is a commercial joke. GTX970 is very good and if you really need high end just go for the GTX980 but it won't change much.

True dat.

I personally think the only people that buy pure top end replaceable hardware like titans just have more money than sense*

I think yet another fools post sums it up nicely. The only thing I came here to say was:

1150 volts! Great scott!





*which doesn't include laptops, since they mostly can't be upgraded, so generally best to buy as good as you can afford
