Weird, at stock, turbo boost should be running at 3.7GHz for a 2500K (Unless all cores are loaded)

He disabled boost clock since he's using the stock cooler and it throttles if it goes higher than 3.3 Ghz

Intel page does not fully update older cpus so anything past 6th gen slower after patch

He should really consider a better cooler than the stock one. Turbo boost helps a lot in this case for feeding GPU fps.

 

Though it should still be pretty fast at 3.3 GHz. Sadly I don't have a spare Z77 motherboard yet to bring my 2500K back to life.

ooof, definitely a worthwhile investment to get an aftermarket cooler. It's basically overclocking because the turbo frequency will kick in a lot more. Cryorig C7 or the classic hyper212 evo are my recommendations.

I'll tell him to look into buying a new cooler, I didn't even know he was using a stock one until now and I'm kinda face-palming at that. 

 

Also, sorry it's taking so long to reply, the guy on discord isn't being very responsive rn

honestly with computer issues it's not like I expect instantaneous replies. It's messages from him to you, then from you to the forum, then the forum to like 4 people. Obviously the least efficient way to do it, but hopefully effective.

Yeah, if he's brave enough (and or motherboard supports it), try overclocking. 2500K still works great today (At least my bro with a 4.4GHz 2500K and 1060 6GB isn't complaining). My 2500K sits on my desk as I got a cheap 2700K two summers ago and it's running 4.9 GHz, no issues handling 980 Ti.

chances are he didn't shell out for a fancy overclock motherboard if he was cool with disabling turbo frequencies. Also, in the good old days, k-sku chips were sold with higher base and boost frequencies, making using them with a non-overclock board actually practical.

OR, the 650 he's comparing is just realy good. JK
