Posted March 27, 2017 its not important but its free preformance if you have the time to do it. i overclock everything i can, GPU, CPU, RAM, Monitors I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Posted March 27, 2017 it really depends on how well a cpu overclocks some generations of cpus had very large headroom for overclocking and would give quite a bit of performance from overclocking while some have almost none. i know for me I have a r7 1700 so overclocking is almost necessary to get the type of performance i want. that being said i went with an easy modest overclock as i didn't want to do all the work to get the last 300mhz as it doesn't seem like it would make a huge difference anyways.

Posted March 27, 2017 Author okay let's say i want to overclock, what's the ideal psu wattage for that? Eager To Learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 27, 2017 It really only matters if you are reaching bandwidth limits and need more. For example if you have a 120Hz monitor but games are only reaching 100 fps maybe an overclock could help you get the full 120Hz refresh rate you're looking for.

For 144hz, yeah, it's pretty important. Otherwise, you can get away with a locked i7, though getting an unlocked one will last you a bit longer.
