referred to turning off the cores, not delidding :D
But you don't need to do either to "make it usable for OC". Just get a good cooler.
- jankotek 10y agoGood cooler wont help, the bottleneck will be in CPU.
- floatboth 10y agoI'm running 4.5GHz @ 1.4V on an i5-6400, doesn't get hotter than 60 degrees under full load with a watercooler.
- jankotek 10y ago60 degrees is not much, not really reaching full potential of that chip. I had i7 2600K at 5.0 GHzx. Water cooled, 90 degrees under full load. It worked for 5 years 24/7, until motherboard died last year, CPU still works. It is simple to set higher frequency, but that does not mean CPU is actually faster. Power management is very tricky. Sometimes it will put idle instructions, or turbo boost would not work. You have to run benchmark for several hours to verify CPU is actually faster.
