I noticed no difference in speeds on Xenoblade Chronicles between a stock 3.3ghz I5 2500k and an OC'd 4.5ghz CPU. The bottleneck is the GPU. I found this out by turning the graphics way up to where I got under 30fps. Overclocked - it ran the exact same speed. Is there a Wii game where OCing a 2500k is even necessary?

Some games that need LLE audio also needs 4GHz+.

The list would be too long indeed.
I'm planning to make a thread for these very demandiing games (when I have overclocked my 3570k )

heck i even get very subtle slowdowns in NSMB . 3.5 is brutal but i like the accuracy. ( i play at 4.5)

"EFB copies to Ram" + NSMB = Beast CPU

i leave it on EFB to ram all the time. probably why i had some slowdowns in world 2 . same goes for LLE on thread :\

TC good luck on getting your 2500K to 4.5ghz. Well what I should say is when you do achieve that speed and it runs stable enough. It will not be a "TRUE PROPER" overclock though. Not with that HSF anyways. I should know. I OC'd my 3570k to 4.5ghz on a EVO 212+. Everything is stable runs all games and everything just fine EXCEPT for stress tests. Oh boy does it not like it. My PC shuts down after 10 secs on IBT. So it won't be true proper OC but who cares? I sure as hell don't.
Well I thought I would just throw that out there and happy OC'ing 03-28-2013, 02:49 PM
what kind of voltage ur running @ 4.5? i have a regular 212+ HS with a Scyth Ultrakaze fan.
lucky i only need 1.2v flat for stability. i start having heat issues at 1.33v range (i need this for 4.8stable) also sandy handles voltage increases better since it doesnt got crappy paste that ivy has under the top. sandy is sodered so all heat is dispersed better overall.
