Do I need to oc i7 4790k for gaming

[Conor kenway]

As title say do I need to oc i7 4790k for gaming and I have a asus strix 980 .If I oc gtx980, can I get performance close to gtx980ti

You don't need to OC either one for gaming. However, doing so will boost performance anywhere from an insignificant amount to a noticeable amount.
But there is more to the Ti than simply a faster core clock. It has more VRAM, faster bus, more texture mapping units, more output processors, and a lower TDP.

Thank you for quick reply

A stock 4690 is more than enough even for a 980Ti.

Can u suggest me a best cpu cooler that fits in cm haf 912. I hate the stock cooler for i7 4790k.

You actually really don't have too. I had mine overclocked but over the last week I've been testing at stock speeds and adaptive voltage and it runs everything about the same in gaming, no bottlenecks anywhere. I tested on GTA V, witcher 3, battlefield 4, project cars, metro last light, far cry 4, war thunder, arma 3 and a few others.

I have used the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and the Corsair H60 in my HAF 912 case. Both fit nicely and cool fine for all but the most extreme OC'ing.

Both coolers looks promising.but I can't decide which one. Which to buy cm evo 212 or h60?

Don't necessarily limit your choices to just those two. I just mentioned them from my own personal experience. The H60 does a slightly better job of cooling that the 212 EVO from my own testing. But of course, it is more expensive.

The NH-D14 dimensions are 160mm x 158mm x 140mm (w/fan). The height should be no problem. The length will depend on any obstructions in your case and the exact placement of the CPU socket on your board. But I doubt there'll be a problem.
