I recently upgraded my PC with a 12600k, however I made the terrible decision of buying a H670 motherboard which doesn’t allow overclocking. I’m having a hard time figuring out why there isn’t much improvement in games after upgrading from a 4790k, and was wondering if it’s because the 12600k is running at stock speeds.
Is overclocking a 12600k really required to provide a better gaming performance? If so, is there any way I can tune my motherboard for a better cpu performance? (in the sense that I won’t be able to overclock it because of the H670 chipset). If it helps, I mostly play Rockstar titles GTA V and RDR 2, although performance in GTA V has improved, RDR 2 runs literally the same as my old 4790k.
My specs:
12600K
ASUS H670 Plus D4
1080 Ti
16 GB RAM 3200 MHz
750 watt PSU
Windows 11 and games running on SSD.
