Hi,
I'm considering buying an overclocked i7 950 setup from PCS. The overclocked option is 49 GBP more expensive, so I thought why not.
However, by overclocking the processor losses its hyperthreading and turbo boost functionality. therefore is the overclock worth losing the hyperthreading for? Has anyone got links to performance comparisons?
Also, considering the extra stress the overclocked processor works under , is it worth overclocking whats already a high end cpu with hyerthreading (to 8 cores) and in built turbo boost (potentially to 3.6ghz i think??) ?
thanks for reading.
