Overclocking CPU

[Walt]

Hi everyone,

Last weeks im having problem with running the Witcher 3 on my intel core i5 7600K. It hits 90% / 100% usage most of the time when having post processing on low. Since the 7600K is a K model I am planning on overclocking. My cooler is a Cryorig h7 and my motherboard MSI. Z270 gaming pro carbon. My current temps are 60 Celsius under 100% load. 

My question is: will overclocking reduce my CPU usage in the Witcher 3? If so, how much do you think? 

What are good videos to know how to overclock? Any guides you think will help me out?

Any help is appreciated! 

Thank in advance!!

no, Witcher 3 is a very heavy game, you are being CPU bottlenecked, you might gain a few FPS.

CPU OC won't reduce CPU usage (you still have a GTX 1070 in there).
Post-processing is a "GPU thing" to do.

What or which setting will help to reduce cpu usage?
