Improving overclocking might enhance my ability to handle multiple tasks at once.
Improving overclocking might enhance my ability to handle multiple tasks at once.
Overclocking can improve my multitasking performance?
My motherboard is Asus H100M-D, processor is i7 6700k. If I switch from H100m-D to Z170 and boost my i7 6700k to 4.7Ghz, will my multitasking speed increase?
Another concern: if I run my computer 24/7 with an i7 6700k at 4.7Ghz, could it cause damage?
Currently, my system runs a VM for 43 and stays on continuously. Please give advice on ways to enhance my multitasking speed.
Which upgrades would be best for boosting multitasking? I can’t afford 6 cores or 12 threads.
Details:
CPU: i7 6700k
Cooler: Hyper 212X
Motherboard: Asus H100M-D
RAM: Hyperx DDR4 2x8 2133MHz
GPU: Asus GTX 780 ref
Power Supply: VS550

43 VMs on one host... wow. What are those VMs actually doing?
I think your motherboard might be the Asus H110M-D? Sadly, that motherboard doesn’t support overclocking. Your CPU is already at its maximum speed before you consider more costly enthusiast parts (6 cores and above). Even with an overclockable Z170, you’d likely only see a 20% boost at best. It’s probably not worth it.
It also seems like you’re reaching the limits of your RAM, but it looks like you only have two slots, both full, which adds another challenge to your upgrade plan.
Since you’re running VMs, could you distribute the workload across two systems? You might be able to find an older server with RAM...

Alternatively, you’d need a significant budget to add more power or reconsider your goals. Or, you should reassess what you’re aiming for and explore other solutions. Since you’ve exhausted what’s possible with your current setup, there really isn’t an easy fix left.
