I mean, not much really worth it unless you need more threads for some reason.

I've always thought more threads means more tolerance within high cpu demanding games.

Uh, not really? Unless the game is specifically designed to love threads, more often than not, you're fine with 2-4.

uuu nothing really? unless you really need more cores there is no reason to upgrade that CPU, at all. get a new GPU or more SSD storage instead, or why not a nice screen?

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!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"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.
