i5 4670K: Do i need to overclock to not bottleneck?

[ImSalvatic]

Will be buying 2 GTX 780's on a Asus Maximus VI Hero with a 4670K. As far as i've understood, you won't be getting much increase from overclocking your CPU. Will i need to OC my 4670K to avoid bottlenecks with the 780's in SLI?

I don't think it will bottleneck, but since you've already bought a 'K' series processor, why wouldn't you

Why would you overclock really? I see no point really - I view overclocking as a last resort measure to bide time until the next CPU upgrade.

I see reviews of people overclocking this CPU by nearly 1 GHZ and all they get it like 10% more juice out of it and mostly where it does not matter anyway (like going from 48 FPS to 52 or from 20 FPS to 22), what's the point really?

And besides that, if you are buying such a heavy rig, why not fork over a bit more for I7 CPU? Why not really? Hyper-Threading HAS it's uses, for example if you game AND have background apps running and lately latest titles popping do manage to make use of HT even if by a bit.

And the answer to OP, no you won't bottleneck. And even if you do, it won't really matter anyway at the moment.
