Why U no get aftermarket cooler and overclock CPU? WHY you no overclock GPU?

Why u do dis non overclockin?

All you need to do is get a cooler master hyper 212 Evo or the more expensive hyper 212X and overclock your CPU!

[Lotus]

You'll definitely want an aftermarket cooler like an Evo 212 for overclocking. The GPU and monitor might need replacing, and maybe the PSU depending on what it is, but other than that it looks good.

[Godlygamer23]

I'd get a better GPU. No cooler? That CPU will fry. (kidding. I assume you're using the stock cooler) I'd get something like the Hyper 212 Evo.

[Teqq]

Yeah I know I need to get a cooler I'm just tight on money. Hopefully I can get a new GPU for Christmas, I was thinking the ASUS Strix GTX 970 but I dont know

[mapegl]

Honestly, getting a better GPU would be my preference. Running the 2500k oced is nice, but doesn't yiel in that much more performance compared to a GPU. I would rather spend the money for a GPU as powerful as I can get for the money.

Jesus christ... Overclocking isn't the bee's knees, you know. Also the 212x isn't really better than the Evo, just a slightly better fan.

Calm down, I know, it's that the stock cooler sounds like a hairdryer on high

Not m fault I dont have the money for a cpu cooler

[ALXAndy]

There should be a rule. Pics or a 30 day ban.

[Teqq]

I cant get pick at the moment... my computer is in a tight space and its hard to get it out

[JoaoPRSousa]

Looks good. Would look better if we had pics

[Teqq]

Like I said above, my computer is hard to get out and take pictures of

You should save up for a 212 evo

It is true that a 212 evo would be quieter without overclocking, yeah

[Jgeorge610]

if i was you, think about upgrading that cpu, the speed are really poor on those old i5's aha. Apart from that, a nice build

thats a beast of a card for the money, but your cpu will probs bottleneck it

[Teqq]

I got an R9 285 instead because it was cheaper and Yeah the 2500k could be a problem but cpus are so expensive

[Stomplar]

not everyone overclocks. besides the cpu will last longer if you dont.
