how much does overclocking boost fps and is it possible with your setup? the maximum heat reached is 56 degrees during games.

It's not about finding a precise formula, but certain improvements don't follow a straight line with higher frequency. For example, a 20% overclock won't necessarily mean a 20% boost in FPS, often the difference is much smaller. Regarding what to focus on, it depends on the specific game—some might benefit more from CPU overclocking, others from GPU or RAM adjustments. Targeting the bottleneck can yield the best outcomes.

So what you're asking is whether increasing the CPU will help if it's a CPU-heavy game, or if overclocking the GPU is better for GPU-intensive titles. For RAM-heavy games, overclocking RAM makes sense. But regarding safety with your current specs and power supply, that's something to consider carefully.
