Ludicrous overclock slams 1.7 volts into 6700K in an attempt to stop CPU from bottlenecking an RTX 3080 — 5.2 GHz on aging four-core pushes GPU utilization from 60% to 74%
A YouTuber pushed an aging Intel Core i7-6700K CPU to extreme clock speeds and voltages, attempting to resolve a bottleneck with a modern RTX 3080 GPU. The overclocking efforts, which involved pushing voltages to 1.7V and clock speeds to 5.1GHz, significantly improved GPU utilization and gaming performance in titles like Cyberpunk 2077. Despite these efforts, the CPU still presented a bottleneck, preventing the RTX 3080 from reaching its full potential. AI
