[SOLVED] CPU cooler or SSD

[imjasko]

So basically i can get only one of these two ( cooler master hyper 212 evo or 240 GB Kingston SSD A400 240 GB) and i can't decide which is better.
My specs are :
I7 2700K no overclock
GTX 1060 GB
12 GB ram
1 TB HDD

These are my CPU temps while doing a 10 minute prime95 test : http://prntscr.com/mai9ll
Also what kind of benefits would i see with a overclock to 4.5 Ghz ( note that my psu is only 450 W so i am not sure if OCing is even possible) could i get a 20 fps boost in CPU bound games, most of my time i am only gaming, sometimes i record my gameplay with OBS and i rarely edit that gameplay. Or is it just better to get a SSD ( if i buy a SSD i will probably do a clean install from windows 7 to windows 10) to speed up my pc completely due to the fact that my temps are ok i guess ?

P.S. Can someone tell me why my CPU is only at 3600 MHz while doing the prime95 test, shouldn't it be at 3900 as that is his turbo freq. Sorry for the long text, just wanted to give as many details as possible. Thank you.

1. seems odd your 2700K is running at 3600 , but according to specs Processor Base Frequency 3.50 GHz Max Turbo Frequency 3.90 GHz so a little low yes... why.. good question.

2. since the turbo should be 3.9 Ghz for this cpu, before decided heatsink or ssd, I would solve the mystery of your lack of humffp your cpu seems to be having. then you can retest and check temperature and make an educated decision.

but if temps stay at 3.9 turbo about 80 then you could invest in an ssd. if not then heatsink it is

suggestion: run a game, and us HWINFO to monitor your CPU multiplier and see if it goes above x36. could be a protect issue on the motherboard. let me know oh run HWINFO in sensor mode

So i run HWINFO in sensor mode while playing The Witcher 3 ( note that i was in a small village ingame if that matters ) and these are my results :
http://prntscr.com/majlp5 i did a ss of the whole thing in case you might need something else, thank you. And also while alt tabbing to screenshot the results it would instantly go back to 36x, some cores even lower.

"Turbo" for 2700x is about 4.2GHz, give or take few KHz depending on silicone lottery and proper cooling on a good MB with PBO(2) enabled.

Not sure if we are talking about the same CPU here, i have a INTEL I7 2700K. you are probably talking about the ryzen 2700x. I wish i had that one lol.

My bad, but I have seen those 2700K go to 5GHz.

@countmike don't feel bad I mis read it as well the first time, I had to re-write half of my post

@imjasko
so it climbs to 3.8ghz could be it doesn't need it or it set in the bios manually. have you been changing CPU settings in BIOS to try to overclock?

It could be the fact that it doesn't need it, there is a "XS bench" in RealTemp which i just discovered now, when i do that bench it says that my cpu is runing at 3.891... and for a second or two jumps to 3.901.... That should be ok i guess ? I also just discovered now that while going into bios i see 3 options: power saving mode, normal mode and performance mode. Just selected the performance mode and i get 4.4 GHz and HWinfo says i have a 43x multiplier, and my temps are going crazy. But anyway i went far from the topic, so having in mind that my CPU is ok and it can go to 3.9 GHz with turbo boost, is there any reason for me to buy the cooler and overclock, or should i just get the SSD. Sorry for my English and thanks for your replies, i appreciate it.
