is CPU Overclocking Obsolete ?

[radioshack]

Its been some time since I heard someone overclocking their CPU here

 

[kreja]

Its more of a hobby to beat the highest benchmark score.

 

[testerjp]

I underclock so won't burn too hot.

the amount of extra heat compared to the performance gained is not worth it

IMO yes, modern CPUs are already clocked to their limits, so much that they break when you look at them the wrong way (Intel 13/14th gen, AMD 9000 series degradation).

There is simply no more potential to extract without significant costs (extreme heat and/or power consumption, risk of further degradation, etc.).

GPUs are the bottleneck nowadays.

GPUs are the bottleneck nowadays.

Not ram meh?

Not ram meh?

nowadays the ram bottleneck is your wallet

Not ram meh?

I have more RAM than my CPU and iGPU can use. All those games fail to run because the iGPU isn't strong enough. Around GTX 650 power.

It's dead indeed.

 

[durain]

yup. performance bottleneck now at GPU. GPU overclocking and undervolting still going strong thou

Now people would rather undervolt their CPU’s so that they use less wattage for the same performance. On AMD Ryzen, you can download Ryzen Master utility to perform automatic safe overclocking, which cuts out the guesswork and risks with manual overlocking.

Long gone are the days like the Celery 300A which can easily oc up to 450MHz. These days is a niche hobby.

next GPU refresh cycle in 2028
while current models production may be reduce

Need to overclock the wallet...

 

[helloicanseeu]

recently amd cpus were burnt on asrock mbs ... so watch out ... and tdps are getting highs ...

 

[86technie]

Most cpu can turbo so no need overclock.

 

[acidcrash]

I overclock my BM1370 chip.
