Checking if overclocking can help with your CPU bottleneck is a common question. For the Asus Strix 1070, Intel i5 6600K and Asus Z170 Pro gaming setup, you're looking at a 10 to 16% bottleneck. It's worth considering whether adjusting settings or exploring alternatives could improve performance without purchasing a faster CPU.

OC is capable of resolving the bottleneck definitely. If you're just seeing a 10-16% drop in performance, it can be fixed with OC (around 4.2GHz would be best).

The percentages were determined carefully to avoid any bottlenecks for that processor.

The OC is capable of resolving the bottleneck definitely. For a performance drop of just 10-16%, it should be easily addressed with OC (around 4.2GHz would be optimal). A boost frequency of 3.9 is also acceptable.

The OC is capable of resolving the bottleneck definitely. If you're only noticing a 10-16% performance drop, it should be fixed with OC (around 4.2GHz would work best). Also, could a hyper tx3 handle the OC easily?

It is possible. The 3.9Ghz boost frequency will also suffice. Are there any processes you suspect are causing a bottleneck? BF1 multiplayer?

How did you come up with those figures? That processor shouldn't be causing any bottlenecks.

The software included with MSI Afterburner after downloading it will display the GPU and CPU usage percentages during games.

It can. The 3.9Ghz boost frequency should also suffice. Are you experiencing any issues? You mentioned BF1 multiplayer. I don't think it's a bottleneck since I still maintain high FPS. I'm someone who wants to get the most performance out of my hardware. Mostly I play BF and killing floor, but I notice the bottleneck in my monitor software showing CPU at 100% while GPU isn't.
