CPU Overclock not affecting in-game framerates (CSGO)

[PepegaPig]

Hey everyone.

 

I recently purchased a 280hz monitor, for playing csgo and wanted to make sure my framerates didn't dip below 280fps at all times. So I decided to overclock my CPU, as csgo is a more cpu focused application, before overclocking I was averaging 290 fps, with dips to 250. I just did a quick all core oc to 4.7ghz, with everything else left at stock/auto. However I found that my fps in-game didn't change at all, but my temps were significantly higher. My CPU usage in-game is usually around 40-60%, with GPU usage in the mid 30's.

 

Specs

CPU: i5 8600k

GPU: GTX 1070

RAM: HyperX 16gb 3200mhz

Mobo: ASUS Z370e strix

Cooling: 240mm AIO

PSU: silverstone 650w

OS: windows 10 64bit

Bios version: 2401

 

Any help and suggestions are appreciated, thanks in advance.

Turn off HT and try again.

 

Wait Never mind. I need glasses.

 

What are the temps and voltages at 4.7ghz?

I know, I caught that late, see edit'ed post.

 

Do you have the FPS cap lifted in the developers console?

Yeah, just using the fps_max 0

Try setting it to 500 fps maybe?

If that doesn't help, you can try and lower or disable post processing also.

Seems like its fixed the issue, fps still averaging about 290, but not dropping at all. Can't believe I didn't check it myself. Thanks again
