What do i need?

[BatJoke]

So i just bought the MSI Z87-GD65 with an I5 4670K but still didn't get the GPU.

and i wanna OC and i wanna know should i use my old 5450 or should i just stick and OC this IGPU?if so then how?

and what will i need to OC my IGPU and CPU?

 

 

Thanks.

HD5450 isn't an iGPU, if that's what ur saying, and no buy a new one.

youll need MSI afterburner to OC the GPU. GPU-z is also good monitoring software to have on hand. as for the CPU the intel extreme tuning utility would give okay OC results but for best results you need to do it off the BIOS on boot. Linus has videos on overclocking this CPU (or the 4770k) so go watch that to know how to do it

No you got me wrong.

Am saying should i just stick with the IGPU thats in the I5 or just use my 5450?

 

and if i stick with my IGPU how can i OC it and should i?

 

and other than that i wanna OC my CPU but am kind of a beginner so i was asking what are the stuff needed if wanna OC.

I think you can OC your iGPU with Intel extreme tuning utility. I don't know if you should use your HD 5450

I don't know how OC'ing an iGPU works

what about OCing the CPU?

you don't know how that works?

A bit, but for actual legit information I advise you to watch this video and maybe create a new topic about overclocking your CPU

Pretty sure a HD4600 beats a 5450.

Yep, by a mile.

Just stick with the onboard until you can afford a decent dedicated GPU. OCing the iGPU would be a fairly pointless endeavor, just putting unnecessary strain on the chip and it's not going to turn a 1080p low setting experience into a high one. You may be able to snag a few extra frames at low res, but it's still low res.
