[SOLVED] Can i overclock an i5 2500k on a stock cooler

[thekillerx10]

so i was asking that if i can overclock the i5 2500k on a stock cooler on 4.5 ghz and stable

i have a 500w psu btw

 

[logainofhades]

The 2500k is better, as it can overclock, and the 3470 is quite limited in that area.

Core count is the same, but it has hyperthreading, identical to i7's, which makes them better, in today's games. When it first came out, the Ryzen 5 1600 was slower, than a 7600k, in gaming. In modern titles, the tables have turned, in favor of the 6c/12t Ryzen, due to games taking advantage of the cores/threads. Shadow of the Tomb raider, for example, can nearly fully utilize a 6c/12t Ryzen CPU's available cores/threads.

i was meaning to say it has HT but yea tnx for the correction. I didnt pay much attention to what i just said my bad.

Short answer.
Yes. You can overclock the 2500k on a stock cooler. The ability to OC does not depend at all on the cooler, but the cpu and motherboard. The capacity of OC is a different story.

No. You will most definitely not like the resultant cpu temps and under heavy loads the cpu will most definitely not like you or your wishes and slow down.

The difference between a 2500k and 3470/3570 is questionable. Ivy beats sandy in almost everything. Except an OC sandy vs locked Ivy. Then it's upto the game. Some games rely less on clock speeds and more on IPC, Ivy wins. Some games rely more on clock speeds, sandy probably win. Ivy has instruction sets and efficiency that sandy doesn't, so some games are even smoother and better on Ivy, regardless of fps. Overall, OC sandy vrs locked Ivy is pretty equitable, but for pure fps, sandy will usually win. If you only care about a benchmark number.

Thank u all for your help and time hope u had a good day )

cause i just checked that the xeon and my gtx 1050 will make a bottleneck of 60% but the i5 will only make 7%

So?

The term bottleneck is misused horribly, and all bottleneck calculators are complete and utter garbage.

Your system will NOT perform worse with the Xeon than it will with the i5. The only difference is that the Xeon is more capable than the i5, and thus the 1050 becomes the limiting factor.

I said it already, but it bears repeating: IGNORE ALL BOTTLENECK CALCULATORS.

If your PC performs a certain way with a particular CPU/GPU combo, and you put in a faster CPU, you will NEVER get slower performance as a result.

Thank u for ur help i will go with the i5 2500k cuz xeons aren't available here in local shops i think i could overclock the 2500k to 4 ghz or something when i get it

is this fan good for overclocking the 2500k on 4.4 ghz or something it is called
DeepCool CK-11508
and how many ghz can i get for overclocking it on the stock one will i be able to do it on 4.1 or 4.2?
