Hey guys, my specs go;
CPU - i7 930 2.9 (octacore)
GPU - Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 970
Ram - 8 GB DDR3 Kingston fury black
Mobo - gigabyte X58A-UD3R (rev.2)
SSD - Corsair 256GB x2 (Raid 0)
HDD - 2TB WD green
Cooling - antec mercury 360 (stock fans) Bottom exhaust
Case - Corsair carbide 600c (3 x 140mm fans) inverted case
At the moment running CPU boost it only reaches 3.1ghz, getting 43 max degrees (Hardware monitor) after running pubg for about 2+ hours.
Would I have any benefit from overclocking a first gen CPU, and is it even possible?
I have only dabbled slightly in overclocking and know basically nothing, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
