was you cpu a retial or oem chip ?

@norega | 27 April 13 | |
you may be limited on what stable clocks you can achive becuase your rm doesnt match .

@alvar89 | 27 April 13 | |
the performance gain is more than i expected. on passmark cpu mark from stock 9600p @3.5ghz to 11000p @4.5ghz is not bad at all.

@norega | 27 April 13 | |
Do you need 4.5ghz daily though or just for benchmark score as running the chip at that speed is not really needed

@alvar89 | 27 April 13 | |
it has intel 3 year warranty

@alvar89 | 27 April 13 | |
might just stick to oc genie default 4,2ghz when im done messing around. im mostly doing this for learning purposes.

oc-ing a k-series cpu is a must otherwise paying the extra for it is useless. gonna squeese everything it has out some day when im more experienced

I leave my i7 930 at stock speeds unless there is a game that is CPU dependent. There's no point in overclocking if it's not needed, imo. It will just shorten the life of the CPU. All it takes is a reboot and to load a profile in the BIOS

@ alvar89 - 27.04.13 - 01:09pm oc-ing a k-series cpu is a must otherwise paying the extra for it is useless. gonna squeese everything it has out some day when im more experienced It is if benching etc is your thing . I know guys with quad graphics cards and 6 core intel cpu's that do nothing but benchmark , bitmining and folding and very rarley play a game . A 4ghz plus cpu is not really needed for gaming as 90 percent of games are gpu bound .I have a 980x and its at 4ghz and will go faster but the increase in heat and power usage makes a neagative impact against the performance increase. |
