100% better reworded as "sucks that it can't be easily hardware overclocked" :nod: as anyone familiar can clearly see, if anything. :cool:

No... Anybody who has actually overclocked before w/ sense would've been able to infer that conclusion based on the fact that's what my comment implied š¤¦š½ āļøš¤·š½ āļø

Not realistic in this case, so yes, infinitely more power if possible via software overlock.

I just bought a 12700kf, is it worth overclocking for using on heavy loads?
Toms hardware said only a 4% improvement with significant heat problems.

So what? I'm pretty sure you saved up enough since that Z87/Z97 platform released around 9 years ago. You wouldn't be a bargain hunter if you weren't a member of Slickdeals would you?

It's not the hardware side, it's the software side. I upgraded my CPU a few times in another machine and it didn't effect anything. When I upgraded the whole system, it caused all sorts of issues. ...

Clock multiplier is locked, but you can overclock by adjusting the base clock. Caveat is that you need a pretty expensive Z690 mobo with DDR5 for now, but sub-$200 B660 boards supposedly in the...

I guess my MB needs really haven't changed in 5yrs. I can't tell the difference in the audio chips, I don't need more than 7 USB devices, and I just use an M2 boot drive and spinning storage.

I do a good bit of encoding/compiling, so it's useful for me. I also enjoy tinkering, so it scratches the itch, and the resale value of the old CPUs was great. For my last CPU, I think I spent $160...

Funny for CPU bound games like CS GO, I saw a 20-25% increase from a 3600 to a 5600X. The IPC improvements were substantial. YMMV depending which applications you use.

That's one of the downsides with Intel, you need a new motherboard every gen or two. With AMD, I'm still running the same mobo on one of builds since my 1600 back in 2018. Yeah I don't have certain...
