GTX 1080 and i7-6850 Overclocking - It is worth it?

[B0DZI0]

Hello.

This is my rig:
Processor: Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-6800K (3.4GHz) 15MB Cache
Motherboard: ASUS® RAMPAGE V EXTREME/U3.1: E-ATX, USB 3.1, SATA 6 GB/s
RAM: 32GB HyperX PREDATOR DDR4 3200MHz X.M.P
Graphics Card: 8GB EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080 FTW GAMING - DVI, HDMI, 3x DP
Power Supply: CORSAIR 750W CS SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

It is worth to overclock CPU and GPU ?
If yes, how i can do this - whats the risks?

Im green - i never overclock anything.

Do you NEED more performance? What kind of monitor are you using?

I would say it's worth it(and easy) to overclock the gpu, but don't bother overclocking the cpu.

BENQ ZOWIE XL2730 27" E-SPORTS MONITOR (144hz, 1440p)
2nd one: Benq GL2055 20"

and tbh. I want to have more performance

That's one heck of a computer you got there. I mean I wouldn't see the point in overclocking with that build. And is it a i7 6850k or a i7 6800k? You title says it differently.

Sorry, I copy-paste rig from my text dc. now i changed it to 6850k

What are doing that you think you need to overclock?

I read many threads in internet and im wonder if my rig can handle 4k 60fps. I think it cant thats why i am looking for overclock

I think your rig will handle it just fine. I believe they made the GTX 1080 with 4k in mind but if you think you have to do it, it won't hurt any if you do it right. You will not run at the same FPS at 4k

I will see. If i will not able to handle it should i go for 4.2 OC in CPU and how much Mhz's for GPU ?

I would try the 4.0Ghz for the CPU. I'll give you an update on the GTX 1080 here in a minute.

 

[StarBlazer754]

Try to OC it a little bit to see if that help any. Sorry couldn't find much info on that. I don't own one.

I would rather have a 144hz 1440p monitor than 60hz 4k.

Overclocking your video card is quick, easy, and effective. Overclocking your i7 is NOT quick, easy, or effective. I could see setting it at 3.8ghz and calling it a day.

Ive got one 144hz, 1440p but thing is i want to know if it will go for 4k 60fps gaming or not

I will run thic pc for 6h in day, 12h in weekends

It will run games at 4k but its not going to get you 60fps all the time unless you turn down the settings. Have you looked at benchmarks? That should be easy to find. You'd get 40-50fps on average.

Yes i saw many of them. Thats why i wanted to make OC and increase my fps'es if i can of course
