i5 3570K

How much overclock would an i5 3570K need to match a Skylake/Kabylake i5 in CPU intensive games?

 

Many thanks, Bruno.

EDITED:

About 4.5GHz to match 7600k on stock 3.8GHz.

At least 4.7GHz to match 6600k on a stock clocks.

What about an i5 6400?

It should beat 6400 but still you can push that cpu to 4.8 to 5.0GHz without any problem many people did that and their systems are stable. Then maybe you can match to 7600k at 4.1 or 4.2 GHz(Turbo boost speed) or 6600k at turbo speed.

I edited my previous post. I though the 7600k base clock is higher than what it actually is.

About 3.9GHz-4.0GHz to match 6400.

 

However, RAM speed is a factor here as well. Faster DDR4 helps with Skylake/Kaby Lake performance as well.

That's not too bad, I was expecting about 4.5GHz.

Lower your expectations a bit it will not match turbo clocks of those processors but stock clocks maybe 3-4 fps less of max.

So, it basically can't match an i5 6400 in CPU intensive games, right?

I said about the stock clock of 6600k or 7600k maybe 6500 or 7500.

It'll beat it for sure but OC your CPU to 4.8-5.0GHz try to get 4.9 or 5.0 GHz.

Keep in mind you have to buy a badass cooler to get clock speeds that high.  A Hyper 212 Evo isn't going to cut it.

I use a DeepCool Gammaxx 400, how high you reckon I could get? I'm hitting around 60°C on my i5 2500 at 4.1GHz.

I don't see you getting higher than 4.2 with that cooler.  I don't have personal experience with it though.
