Why is there such a large overclocking culture? Shouldn't processors play your fucking games without the need to lash your CPU like a pack horse over the prairie?
Why is there such a large overclocking culture...

Humans are intrinsically greedy. They want more.
Dylan White
I agree with you, in fact I hate "gamer" transformers RGB aesthetic.
>I'm gonna oc muh CPU, buy new cooling
What you get?
>3 more fps and 2% more in muh benchmarks
Noah Williams
Same reason why insecure men drive loud cars

I actually utilize it in sound engineering software.
You have no idea how demanding some of these little fucks can be on single threaded performance.
Overclocking actually gives me a great ROI.
Gamerfags deserve the rope in a gas chamber.

higher clockspeeds result in better, and more noticable, performance OUTSIDE of gaymen.
also, it’s like modding cars but for failed sons.

Imagine beings this dumb. Might as well buy apple products, goyim.

there isn't. you can delete your thread now.
Jaxon Ramirez
Except there clearly is?
Joshua Turner
>Why is there such a large overclocking culture?
intel shills it because its the only thing they can do to make their garbage look better
Anthony Bennett
>also, it’s like modding cars but for failed sons
It was my dad who taught me how to build a pc, overclock, linux, etc...
So where does that put me?
David Collins
>free performance
How is requiring to buy better cooling "free"?
Tyler Flores
>spending hundreds and hundreds on cooling and unlocked processors/chipsets = getting more from what you already have
Charles Howard
Overclocking is pretty much fine tuning.
>Every chip is of different quality
>Manufacturers clock them to ensure that even the worst chips run OK with some safety margin
>Your chip is likely not the worst of the batch
>All you do is figure out how fast it can actually run and use it at those clocks
Joseph Scott
Not required with AMD stuff.
Brayden Scott
This checks out.
Jose Diaz
Because most games are unoptimized garbage

this is your brain on brand loyalty
Jaxon Perez
Most of the people I've known who mod cars are the failed son tho. Almost invariably uneducated white trash
Carter Jackson
You don't have to, but it's super easy and free. If you could get 20% more HP from your car by pushing a button, wouldn't you?
Christian Adams
no? why would I want to push my car to the limit thus reducing its life span?
Aaron Peterson
Because, aside from the bullshit Intel pulled with locking chip clocks without a K label, overclocking was mostly about buying cheaper chips and betting that you can make them at least as well as higher end chips, thus getting better performance for your money in the long term, even if you upgrade frequently, for a fairly small initial investment. The people who specifically go crazy on water coolers and LEDs are another beast.
Angel King
>increasing heat for more performance
Has always been a meme
Levi Edwards
It's illogical to not make use of free extra performance.
Xavier Nelson
what software?
Asher Clark
free performance
where do you think this performance comes from, out of think air? are you this unstoppably stupid?
Christian Powell
RGB tacky shit is a whole different issue
It's about squeezing the most out of your hardware and dick measuring
Kayden Wilson

No thanks.

Now compare a 1700 stock vs overclocked using the stock cooler. Perfectly reasonable to expect 3.7ghz under full load. That's a 15.5% uplift over the stock all core 3.2ghz turbo without sacrificing the max single thread performance. Good chips can get to 3.8ghz on the stock cooler even. You could also look at the 1600. Comparing the X skus stock vs overclocked is retarded, they're close enough to max potential to where memory is more important.
