Topic: Might OC system I'm getting in 6 days Thoughts? Posted: 15 Dec 2017 at 2:09pm |
At this time I did not get the free boost because I'm not sure I really need it and it use to be that it takes life off the CPU. In your option should I OC when I get my system? I play World of Warships, 7 Days to Die. Battlefield Games Total War games, Arc and many others.

Turbo is decent on 8700k, play on it first then if needed we get higher

Agree. The cpu Turbo is very good. Not much benefit pushing it a little higher.

I have a system arriving next week hopefully and I did opt for the free CPU boost, but now i keep seeing it might not have been a wise choice.
How do i go about disabling it once i get it? |

True but turbo is good on 8700 non k also. Its just one tick behind
But we won't be able to really oc across all cores with same speeds with non k. Edited by DST4ME - 17 Dec 2017 at 6:07am |

I mean, and I could be wrong here, but the 8700 only turbo boosts all 6 cores to something like 4.3ghz. Only one core hits 4.6ghz, 2 is like 4.5ghz and 3 is 4.4ghz. I think.
But at the end of the day, it has a locked multiplier on it, so you'll have to mess with the base clock really to get over clocks. Which I can not recommend enough that you do not do. One of the biggest reasons people "Overclock" is so that they can get 4.6ghz across all cores. Not against a single core. But kind of pointless for you since you went with the non-k variant. |
