Hi, im about to buy a GTX 1070 and i have a i5-3470
I dont want you to say that "I should upgrade my cpu first" Because i will in a month. But when i buy the GTX 1070 and if my processor cant handle the speed of the gpu. Can i overclock my cpu enough "easily" without braking it? Or is it even possible to overclock past a bottleneck?

Thanks for you support!
 
Solution
3470 CPU is not a K model therefore you cannot overclock it, and beware you can only overclock on Z87/97 Motherboard with a K cpu anyways.
so the answer your seeking is no.
