[footballgamer17]

on cyberpower pc ther is the option to overclock i noticed it only ups the fps by 3-8. (this is the overclock pro option) so i was woundering if it was worth the money?

It's ridiculous how overpriced CyberPower is. It's even more ridiculous to pay CyberPower to overclock for you. And it's just infinitely ridiculous to think that the FPS meter has any sort of prevalence.

As a general rule, NO. It almost never gives you an improvement that is enough to warrant the extra heat and stress you put on the system.

As you see, the FPS it gives is pretty marginal so if you system is so poor that you need another 3-10FPS to play your favorite game, then you probably just need to do a complete upgrade to the CPU or system and be done with it.
