Thanks. That was the joke.

should I get the Intel Core i7 3930K 6-cored Processor 3.2GHz (Overclocked to up to 4.4GHz) instead of the Intel Core i7 3970X 6-cored Processor 3.5GHz (Overclocked to up to 4.8GHz) "Extreme Power" since its £399.00 cheaper and marks said I shouldnt overlock it that much, oh god I am scared of computers

WITH MY MOTHERBOARD I CAN CLICK A SINGLE BUTTON TO HAVE IT AUTOMATICALLY OVERCLOCKED TOO, SO EVEN WHEN ARMA 5 COMES OUT AND I CAN ONLY RUN IT IN "HIGH" I'LL BE ABLE TO CLICK A SIGNLE BUTTON IN A PROGRAM AND THEN RUN THAT IN ULTRA TOO


FUCK YOU

you shouldn;t overclock it at all. you can ask them to set it or you can do it yourself if you're comfortable futzing around in the bios

Intel spend millions designing this chip to run at a specific speed, all their stability testing is based around 3.5Ghz. It will *probably* erun faster, but you might hit on some defect that will make it crash since it was never tested at 4.5Ghz. It's also designed to reach a certain temperature at the native clock speed, if it runs faster it's going to get hotter and heat destroys components. The people building the machine probably put in a bigger fan/heatsink to compensate, but how long until it's crudded up and you're having issues?

Also honestly you're never even going to notice the difference, actual speed is about more than clock speed these days (the number of Ghz) so why bother risking it
