Hello,
First off please take w/e I say with a grain of salt I'm only asking because I would like to know to help me understand better. I have a 3570K and a Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 that I run at stock settings. I tryed overclocking once got everything stable at 4.2 but didn't really see much of an improvement when gaming. If anything my game kinda felt more jittery and sometimes unresponsive.
Out of frustration I went on Youtube looking for videos of what could be casuing the issue but instead found myself watching videos like "Does overclocking help gaming" and to my surprise I would say about 75% had the same FPS overclocked as they did at stock settings. one guy had the same exact setup as me down to the GPU and he OC'ed to 4.8Ghz and the FPS was maybe 1 frame higher than at stock settings. So my question is why do so many people swear upon overclocking? Like i said im not saying it doesn't help but maybe it doesn't impact your FPS as much as let say your CPU Usage. As a gamer how does overclocking benefit me?
And before anyone asks "Well if you don't want to overclock why get a 3570K?" my answer is because it is something i am interested in if it will benefit me and is worth it.
