first of all I am a complete noob at overclocking. I've seen a few tutorial vids, but I still have a few questions:
(note that I have CM Hyper 212X but temps in my room are nasty (around 34-36 celsius or 93-97 fahrenheit) so I'm really not going to try anything over 4Ghz)
1 - will I be able to OC to 3.8Ghz with default voltage and my current PSU (seasonic s12ii 620w)?
2 - how much of a performance increase will 3.8Ghz from stock 3.5Ghz? Is it even worth the effort? (even a 10-15% performance increase is good enough for me)
3 - would you recommend OC-ing to 4Ghz instead? (again, please take into consideration my boiling hot room temps)
3a - if you do recommend going 4Ghz, is it still doable without touching the voltage and psu?
yes, I will still do the whole trial-and-error stress testing but I wanted to hear what other people think before actually doing it.
