Question Youtube Overclocking Video

[Kinnyr90]

Hi My question is in regards to overclocking Not my Graphics card but my cpu. I have a Gigabyte Z 370 Gaming 7 Motherboard I believe I have a 1151 socket I have a core i7 Intel processor .stock running at 3.7 and it has 12 cores. I have fans in my desktop computer mid tower custom built Not sure how many fans but I know I have sufficent cooling. I just know that I do not have a liguid cooling system I have 64 gigs of memory Crucial Name brand (2400) (1200) (ddr4) dual channel) core speed 500 Gz from stock which is 3.70 Core voltage 1.344 V Memory uncore frequency 400 MHZ Dram Frequency 1200. Have not yet used any benmarking software. (ddr4 2400 1200MHZ) Model Crucial Dram Micron technology. Nvidia Geforce 1050 Graphics 2 Gigs memory size memory 405.0 MHZ.Max tdp they say if it's 15 W or under you can't overclock Mine is at 95.0 I guess I can overclock. Lol.

So my question I guess is after I do the overclock that I got from watching a youtube video. This guy had the same motherBoard that I have Gigabyte z370 Gaming 7 same memory 64 gigs. I'm not sure who the Manufacturer is of his memory. So I just whent into the Bios and did it. And then set the XMP Profile to Profile 1.. So far so good and I did all of this after a complete reinstall Of windows . So My question is after doing all of this . I shouldn't use programs Like Process Lasso or quick CPU Or core parking right? Anything that makes it so that your using all of the cores on your processor. In my case it's 12. I shouldn't use these programs right? I should just stick to using a single core right? Because it will cause stability issues right? Oh and I have my Power managment set to High perfromance. But I wouldn't want to use bitsum with the Process lasso program or Quick cpu software right? Avoid these softwares. Right?

This is largely a myth.

a "myth" means something entirely different.

it is a fact that clocks will cycle down with power saving profiles enabled.
the fact that they may cycle back to "normal" when running a bench/stress test does not mean that you will get the same maximum performance during all normal daily tasks.

if you're not using your system for anything largely related to performance then you won't notice any difference anyway.

it is a fact that clocks will cycle down with power saving profiles enabled.

And the CPU will still go into power saving modes anyway. Unless HWiNFO is lying to me, the CPU, both my AMD one and Intel one, has an effective clock speed nowhere near the base clock speed and it frequently isn't in the C0 state.

In addition, the clock speeds constantly adjust itself and sometimes will dip below the base clock speed. Almost everything anyone's said about what the "High Performance" profile does actually doesn't do that.

And my daily tasks mostly consist of checking emails, going on Discord, and watching YouTube. My cellphone can do all of this without me thinking "gosh, I wish I had a faster system"

if you're not using your system for anything largely related to performance then you won't notice any difference anyway.

I mean, sure, I'm not using my computer to render 4K videos all day, but even then I doubt leaving it on Balanced actually makes a huge (+10%) difference in the long run (over a week).

You're free to provide actual data though.

Modern CPUs and BIOS have own algorithms for power saving and boost. Right now, with open Firefox and writing in it 6 out of it's 8 cores are in sleep state. only one at 3GHz and one less than 1 GHz out of possible (with boost)5GHz.
Choosing minimum power state in windows power saving plan makes no difference even when set to 100%
