Overclocking i7 2600k

02-15-2016, 07:29 AM

Hey there! I'm using an I7 2600k at 3.7 GHz, and I'm curious if boosting it to 4-4.5 GHz will improve game performance. Would that give me a bit more FPS? Also, how risky is it to overclock this CPU to that speed?

It can have a notable impact but varies based on the game, resolution and overall PC specifications

In the Overclocking section, ensure the details remain consistent while varying the phrasing.
