THEHIPPIEPROJECT:
hello, wondering if it's safe to install the i7 and whether I'd notice a noticeable boost in gaming performance? I'm seeing good frames but occasional dips, and I'm concerned the CPU might be struggling with the RTX card.

Your setup seems to have limitations. What cooling solutions are you using? How many case fans do you have installed?

your setup seems to have a bottleneck. What cooling solutions are you using, and how many case fans do you have?
the cpu is air cooled, temperatures are normal under heavy load—cpu stays around 60, gpu stays at 60, and the case has six fans.

Your setup seems to have limitations. Are you using any cooling solutions for your system? How many case fans are installed?
The temperatures are normal, but the CPU reaches around 60°C and the GPU stays at 60°C under heavy use. The case includes six fans.
If you're comfortable with overclocking, you should be able to push performance further—just make sure you're prepared.

Your setup seems to have a bottleneck. What cooling solution are you using? How many case fans do you have?
The CPU is air-cooled, temperatures are normal under heavy use, with the CPU around 60°C and GPU at about 60°C as well. The case includes six fans.
You should be able to reach a solid overclock if you're prepared. As for FPS improvements, it could be around 10-15 points, or up to 20-25 with a serious overclock.
