I jst had an EA games Tech tell e that I should disable Overcloking on my 3770K CPU before playing Battlefield 4?
Has anyone heard of this and does it make sense to the community?

Hi,

The guy doesn't know how to resolve the problem (BF4 has some issues) so he's just shoveling the problem elsewhere.

If the overclock is stable and temperatures are well controlled (test with prime95), there should not be any problems.

I have my i5 760 which is 2.8Ghz OC @ 4.0Ghz --- no issues with BF4... But I do have to say.... this games keeps all 4 cores above 90% usage.... its like doing a stress test.. I suspect if you dont have really good cooling your bound to have crashing.

I would say that if you have a GPU that will not be bottlenecked by your CPU, the overclock will give a good FPS-boost. Though, as stanglx said, if you have bad cooling, you should definitely disable the overclock.

I have had some issues with the
battlefield 4 and EA tech said that Battlefield 4 is not compatible with an overclocked GPU....that sounded absurd to me so I am looking for any responses to this requirement.

What I personally think that the tech meant was that the game is like a stress test. It will stress the CPU and if the overclock is unstable, the game will crash if not the whole computer. But I think that if you have a stable overclock, and good cooling, there won't be any problems with playing Bf4.

Thanks destermat...That is what I thought. too. I kind of went off on the tech about false advertising. The Tech also told me that my Nvidia physx had to be disabled...why did I buy my GPU and build a computer with and overclockable
cpu if not to play games like Battlefield 4....I have no problems with Tomb Raider, or Crysis, or FarCry....so I have to think that Battlefield 4 is at fault.
