Don't think ocing the cpu cache brings any benefits. The amount of cache is really small and it only contains very oftenly used things like IP-Adresses. No programm will be stored in there (even when being used). Unless you want to store your IP-Adresses a  very miniscule amount of time faster, go for it.

Really I thought it did more than that ?

I wouldn't bother with it too much. Most boards compensate for the multiplier and unless you're getting instability, I wound't touch the cache.

it does a bit more then that but its not going to bring you anything major in the ways of preformance

 

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...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

In my experiements with cache speeds I found diminishing returns after 4.0GHz. Not worth the instability.
