So i'm getting a AMD Athlon X4 860K with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO i wanna know how many GHz i can overclock it to with this CPU Cooler? and if so how? :D thx
Definitely like all of the ghz
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48583972]not many if any[/QUOTE] The 860k actually clocks pretty well even with a 212 EVO. Makes it very competitive to high end i3's.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48584394]its still nothing to those i5 builds we keep on recommending....... and it's also nothing to a 4690k in terms of actual performance......[/QUOTE] Well yeah but the 860k is 70 bucks.
I have one for my HTPC. On the stock cooler it runs a little hot and with a Hyper 212 around 4.5 is as high as it'll go. The G3258 is still better overall for gaming though for a stock build but if you have an AM2+ board lying around the 860k is pretty solid even without an OC.

But any of those options are still far outclassed by a low end i5, which we've recommended him before.

Also, the G3258 pretty much [URL="http://www.techspot.com/review/1017-best-budget-gaming-cpu/page2.html"]consistently outperforms[/URL] the 860K in most games.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48584739]but back in his previous threads he mentioned he had a $500 budget where i made this if he could push another 70 [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1482308[/url] this is literally the better build/better way to go with his budget i dont think he's going to listen to it either and his games are going to suffer quite a bit too[/QUOTE] I've listened the thing is i don't have a extra $70 dollars just lying around and probably wont have anymore money for a good 3 months after i buy this PC ;-;
