CPUs are actually getting slower after overclocking
I have water cooled 2600k at 5GHz running 24/7. Bigger GPU and more cores brings additional complexity and more heat. No other CPU can handle this without blowing up.
- UnFleshedOne 13y agoDoes it perform faster in benchmarks than later CPUs overclocked to their lower maximums? Clock speed alone is not a good indicator.
- qwerta 13y agoYes, it does. Newer CPUs have cheaper thermal paste.
- Ives 13y agoYou know you're allowed to use your own thermal paste right? Intel won't mind. If you plan on overclocking your CPU it's probably a good idea to get a slightly better CPU cooler than the standard one anyway.
- qwerta 13y agoCheap thermal paste is under heat sink, I would have to crack open CPU with razor blade. And even after this operation 2600K is better.
