People have been saying that GW2 is pretty CPU intensive so I was thinking about finally overclocking my i5 2500k. I have never overclocked before so I have a few questions I hope some of you more experienced guys could answer for me.
First off, is it even worth overclocking for GW2? I have a GTX560ti and 8gb RAM. Will the game even make use of the overclocked speeds?
Secondly, I used this guide:
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/01/07/how-to-overclock-the-intel-core-i5-2500k/4
to overclock it when I first built my computer since it gives step by step for the same motherboard I have (GA-P67a-UD4) and when I ran Prime95 the temps got up to 75c and were around 45 idle. Is that too high? If I were to lower the overclock which I'm assuming is the core ratio (which in the guide is 4.50Ghz) would I also have to re-adjust the voltages and all of the other settings to compensate the lower CPU ratio?
Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help me.
