i just bought 7600k
Hi everyone, I'm a beginner in overclocking. My Corsair AIO H100i v2 has been sent to RMA. I'm looking into the benefits of overclocking and watching some YouTube videos. They show that reaching 7600k can easily hit 5.0ghz, but I'm curious—does this speed improvement actually help during gaming? And is it worth trying?
I also have my peripherals gaming certified. That’s great. But then again, as I mentioned before, if those extra frames don’t actually improve your gameplay, it’s just wasting money on electricity bills.
Yes, the 7600k can hit the performance of 4790k and even go beyond in GPU-focused games. Only CPU-heavy titles like GTA V or Witcher 3 would need to boost their settings significantly to keep 80+ FPS with a strong GPU.
So the right answer is: focus on CPU-intensive games, where overclocking makes sense. In other cases, it’s better to skip it.
achieving stable 5.0 ghz overclock demands a robust OC configuration using liquid cooling or high-performance air cooling with thermal paste and overvoltage CPU voltage. this is mainly done to impress benchmark results with the same hardware setup. unless you have a 144hz monitor and are aiming for maximum FPS in demanding AAA titles, I wouldn’t suggest such extreme cooling adjustments. if you’re comfortable with the performance gains, enjoy your electricity savings.

thats a gaming monitor. if u r interested in seeing a few more fps in ur games, oc can help. if u r happy with the fps u r getting, dont bother. but i dont see how that few more fps helps u in gaming unless u r into pro games like CS GO or overwatch or dota and also have the proper gaming keybord n mouse to make use of that extra accuracy.

currently i using blackwidow and steel series kana v3,previously i using i7 4790 non-k,and than my motherboard spoilt..with my experience i only use pc for gaming,so i7 for me is just too much and during gaming not much differences

Yes, the 7600k can definitely match or even exceed the performance of a 4790k, especially in GPU-focused titles. Only CPU-heavy games like GTA V or Witcher 3 would really need to boost their settings to keep up with 80+ FPS on a strong GPU.
So the right answer is: focus on CPU-intensive games where it helps, and skip it otherwise.
