Good afternoon!
Recently I scavenged an FX-8350 out of my friends all computer, and put it into my own. However, the fan is extremely loud (significantly louder than my Arctic Freezer 13 LE), so I bought a CM Hyper 412s to replace it as my old CPU and heatsink is being used elsewhere.
I've been wondering if it would be worth overclocking my CPU, not to push it to its limits and potentially shorten lifetime but enough to get a difference in performance (currently playing the Witcher 3). Could I have some recommendations on what I could do?
Specs:
FX-8350 with CM Hyper 412s
GTX 770
12GB RAM
Gigabyte GA-78LMT
Aerocool DS Cube
Corsair VS550W
Thanks!
