My FX 8350 and GTX 780Ti is only 4% bottleneck.

i had a few questions about over clocking?

what are the benefits to it?
can it be harmful?

i have an AMDfx8350 unlocked CPU- base clock 4.0 ghz

when is it necessary to OC?
i see that i can OC my ram. why would that be needed? what does it do? i have 8gb ram base clock 1300 mhz ( thing its vengence )

i also have an EVGA Geforce Gtx 1060 6gb. base clock 1635 Boost 1878. is there a need to OC the card? can it be?

im new to this stuff and just want to understand it.

Benefits = faster computer
Harmful? = only if you overdo it
8350 = on a good air cooler 4.6 - 4.7Ghz on AIO water 4.8-4.9Ghz
Necessary = not really ( but it can add another year or so to a build if budget makes you hold off on a new build)
RAM = depending on how you OC the CPU the RAM can also get OCd automatically. RAM overclocking is not really needed unless you are in a benchmark battle or the like.
EVGA 1060 = Yes it can be overclocked. As for the need...same as CPU. It'll run a bit faster and give more life to an old system.

Bottleneck detected: Your CPU is too weak for this graphic card.

Hahahahaha that's pretty funny

Think a 4 year old designed that algorithm

yeah I'm not sure of the algorithm either, yeah it does seem flawed by far but it can give a rough start,

but I do like the concept we do actually need a site like this around too bad pcpartpicker couldnt come up with something like this but way better

The HDD is the bottleneck :ROFL:
