Thanks for clarifying, I will see what I can do, maybe I will find a different Z77 Board
i5-3450 or i5-3570k OC - How much does the CPU (and OC) matter?

don´t go cheap on the mobo , a nice z77x-ud3 is 145$, you can oc the crap of that cpu, don´t forget the cooler
a good mobo has heatsinks on the vrm, so you can up the vcore without worries
intel 3570k@4.4ghz, amd 270x, 8gb 1600, win10 x64, x360 pad, raid0 crucial m4 ssd 64gb, gigabyte z77x-ud3h, hyper212+

It won't if the bottleneck is the GPU, for example. If someone had a pre-HD1000 motherboard graphics adapter, then a CPU overclock wouldn't make a difference, although I'm not 100% sure this is the example naturalviolence would have given.

I couldn't help myself.....I'll show myself out.

If you read the context, orang stated in a different way that if you aren't getting bottlenecked already, you're almost always going to get a speedup.
Which is wrong, because you're always going to get a speedup in that case. Here is a more complete answer: A CPU overclock will always result in a speedup if you have a 'decent' discrete GPU. If you have an IGP or a very crappy discrete GPU, you're very likely to get bottlenecked and overclocking will have little to no difference at all. |
