Good morning all,
I had a look in my garage over the weekend and came across two of my old builds one i7 920 that's water cooled, from memory it was overclocked at 4.25 ghz comfortably and a E3 1220 version 1 that you cannot over clock. I've also been given a RX 470 Nitro. When looking at various CPU comparison web pages the E3 1220 v1 comes up better than the I7 920. Components for the I7 920 setup are considerably better than of the E3 1220 v1 but my question is if my I7 920 is overcloked from 2.66 ghz to 4.25 ghz what would the comparison between the two CPU's be? I7 920 at standard shows a large bottle neck when running with a RX 470 but the E3 1220 v1 doesn't.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
