How far can i overclock my AMD A8 7650k?
How much distance could I cover with the CPU overclocking? I have a GA-F2A88XM-D3CH motherboard and a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO CPU cooler. What GPU should I choose after reaching 4.0 ghz? Should I go for an RX 480 8gb or a GTX 1060 3gb?
No one can answer that question. Due to manufacturing process variations every chip is very, very slightly different. Some overclock not at all and some overclock very well.
Overclocking is all about removing heat and there are many things that affect that other than the CPU cooler. Cooling is all about getting heat out of the case and that's also dependent on the configuration of
all
the components in the box, how well the air flows over the individual parts, and the ambient temperature of the air going into the case, among others.
Be sure to read the disclaimers about overclocking on the CPU and motherboard and be aware you can permanently damage components in the machine when overclocking.
Here's a quick guide...
No one has the answer to that question. Manufacturing differences mean each chip is slightly unique. Some overclocking results are minimal, while others perform exceptionally well.
Overclocking focuses on dissipating heat, and many factors influence this beyond just the CPU cooler. Cooling depends on how heat leaves the case, which relies on the setup of all components inside, airflow over parts, and the room temperature of incoming air.
Make sure to check the warnings about overclocking on your CPU and motherboard. Be mindful that excessive overclocking can permanently harm your machine's parts.
