A10 7700k Overclocking help

TripppleB · Feb 26, 2015

I was wondering with my current PC specs if I really need to overclock. I don't have money to buy faster ram or anything so I just wanted to know if overclocking will actually do anything for my performance in games.

PC SPECS:
A10 7700k 3.4 Ghz stock 3.8 turbo
Gigabyte GA-F2A58M-HD2
6 GB of 1333 mhz memory( One 2 GB and one 4
GB stick)
Using Integrated R7 series graphics

If you need any other information please ask

What are the load temps like at the moment and how huge is your HS/F?

TripppleB · Feb 26, 2015

My load temps while doing nothing remain around 30-40 C and what do you mean by HS/F, sorry I am not familiar with abbreviations

While doing nothing is your IDLE temp. While CPU is at FULL LOAD (100% usage) what are your temps. HS/F is a heatsink and fan. Or CPU cooler.

And also having read your spec, your GPU is easily the weakest part of the system. That is where you will make the most improvement in games.

Under load my CPU temps are 55-60 degrees I am using stock heatsink right now but a friend of mine does have an extra CPU cooler he is willing to give me if I need it. And since you're saying my GPU is my weakest point does that mean overclocking my CPU won't improve the performance?

Not really by a noticeable amount, unless you are running a platform limited game. With such a weak GPU you are probably GPU limited the whole time.
