@@TheKing-hr7uh "Overclocking is greedy." Screwing people over for money is greedy. Wanting to have everything for yourself is greedy. Mate, you use Intel and talk about greed. Intel have been a greedy bunch for years. Wanting to experiment with PC components and trying to really get into the whole matter, doing research, testing stuff and simply trying to get more performance out of your CPU is not greedy. Your definition of greed is wrong. An overclocked CPU will also last "for years". Your 8700K does not fall apart after 2 years just because you overclocked it to 5GHz. I mean, if you want to keep your CPU for like 10 years you might have a point (never had any PC that long), but I don't know any data on the long-term effects of overclocking. Have a nice day.

@David Morris Well to be fair, the Athlon dual core APU's like the 220GE have the multiplier pretty locked down. But it's a hell of a lot more open than Intel.

@@GifCoDigital Calm down dude. You have to be honest it would be nice if Intel just unlocked all multipliers on everything more powerful than a Pentium. AMD locked down processors in the past but isn't anymore on their RYZEN SKU which is the most relevant. They are gaining market share and they are getting a good image among consumers. It would be a nice move if Intel did the same on their "Core" SKU. It would make Intel a better value oriented brand and overclocking more interesting. Because overclocking would be more interesting there would be more RU-vid video's about overclocking lower SKU Intel which raises product awareness which would most likely boost sales. The problem with Intel however is that consumers would likely buy a lower SKU CPU and there won't be higher sales numbers because they still have troubles with their 14nm shortage. But who knows if once their production shortage has been resolved Intel may change their ways. AMD should still be commended for unlocking most of their processors.

Well it’s made by Id software. Checkout their history, They’re behind quake, wolf and made fps into a genre.

As long as your voltage and temps aren't too high, you'll be fine.

If you arent going for extreme overclock then you dont need to worry too much If you are able to maintain your cpu cool, your cpu will becouse obsolete before you need to worry about any issues with it. Tho heat stress is something to worry about, If it heats up fast and cools down fast you can kill any electrical component very fast, so spending in a better cooler and optimizing the fan curve in a way that It maintains stability in your cpu temperature, dropping as slow as possible while not being hot when under Full load is essential If you try to overclock, be that your cpu or gpu

You are an adult now, and so you can make absumptions on topics you know nothing about XD. If you don't plan on trying to push all you can get out of your cpu and you just want some extra performance, you can OC your cpu with a quick google seach and 5 -10 mins, and get way more than a 2% performance bump. Or.... just flip the sync all cores switch in the bios for Intel CPUs.... wich takes less than 5 mins. Except with the new Ryzen AMD cpus, those require to touch quite a bit of things, because they are perform pretty much as good as they can out of the box.

Some of us so this for fun because we enjoy tinkering with tech. Nothing to do with being an "adult". If it was only 2%, yeah, I wouldn't bother. Also, I've been in this a long time. I'm having a hard time remembering a single CPU that could double it's clock without liquid nitrogen.

"I'm an adult now" means he has less time tinkering with tech due to a more busy schedule..

@@joefmagat5586 fair, but so am I. I find time for hobbies so I don't resent that which consumes my time.

I dunno. From 4.3GHz to 4.8Ghz and using less power which makes it more silient is quite an upgrade.

@KarlKlaus vonS Overclocking is basicly a mindset thing. If you need the extra performance you can get a half decent oc by using auto tuning utilitys in your mb, if you don't need it but still think about it, you're a likely tinkerer and enjoy fixing it if you "break" it

@KarlKlaus vonS True, but note that the more you do video encoding the more an oc worth it, but at the same time, as soon as something depends on your work, e. g. your income, stability gains value too. For some workloads cache oc or memory oc can be worth it too.

@KarlKlaus vonS True, allways just want to call a number and get shit done ^^

@KarlKlaus vonS Just a question from a noob. If you drop the voltage, isn't performance lost in the end ?

Those were the days of overlapping products and all gains came directly from clock speed. Back then they'd release a CPU on a new process and ramp up the clock speeds for years before changing anything up. Today they essentially make one line of CPUs and fill in the middle and low range later on during the year as capacity increases. The baseline Northwood was 2GHz, the big dog was 2.4GHz and the value was 1.6GHz with the previous generation stopping around 2.2GHz. Today the highest bin is released roughly the same time as the mid and low end and there aren't any real improvements coming until the next generation.

@@juansolo1617 yeah, I think the board I was running on it was an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 So... it was a middle budget board, it served its purpose. I really can't complain.

Depends what it is. In 1 game i go from 124 FPS to 148 FPS with a Vega 64 from only undervolting and increasing the power slider to max. It then goes to 171 FPS after increasing the memory frequency, only. No GPU frequency increasing at all. Less heat, noise and power used is often the case with undervolting. Many other graphics cards and CPU's decrease performance with undervolting. Undervolting performance is largely related to architecture types such as Vega.

Yes but, just like overclocking, If you push it too much the system will be very unstable, I've seen some people posting that it's better to lower the power target, rather than the voltage, you get the same benefits from undervolting while maintaining stability.

Lower temps and equal performance, what's not to love?
