It has come a turn to fasten the result obtained in the past and finally dispel the myth about the benefits of overclocking Core i5 / i7 models with an unlocked multiplier on the example of game scenarios. Intel Core I5-4460 does not have the ability to overclock, but it is a bright representative of the Core i5 line, which can be designated as something optimal for any gaming assembly.
Packaging and equipment
The processor got me in OEM configuration and besides a reduction in the warranty period, you won't lose anything, but even save at the price. In general, processors rarely fail due to marriage or something like that. As a rule, the fault occurs due to the fault of an inexperienced user. Part of the people perfectly killed their processors with visets, strateging the board of the textolite under excessive pressure. And why all this was done what do you think? Do they all use a processor in specialized applications or all as one are avid overclockers? Of course not! For the most part, people just did what they did not think well.

Test Stand Configuration
Processor: Intel Core i5-4460 (3200 MHz)
Cooler: Intel Box
Memory: 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1866, CRUCIAL BLT2CP4G3D1869DT2TXOBCEU
Video card: ASUS R9 280 (R9280-DC2-3GD5)
HDD Drive: WD Purple WD40PURX
Power supply: ANTEC VP650P, 650 W
Case: Open Stand
Monitor: ViewSonic VP2770-LED
Operating system: Windows 7 64-Bit Service Pack 1
Test stand has undergone significant changes, motherboard ASUS Maximus. VII HERO was replaced by ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1, and R9280-DC2-3GD5 was used as a video card instead of ROG MATRIX GTX 780 TI Platinum. An important replacement was the cooler, is now used boxing versionwhich is more relevant in a pair with such a processor, at the same time and estimate its consumer properties.
Preparation for testing
First of all, after connecting all the necessary cables, we go to the BIOS and check whether the processor has determined correctly. Also not an unimportant nuance is to check the temperature of the processor, because if the cooler is installed incorrectly, i.e. Some corner departs from the processor cover, then not to avoid overheating. Everything turned out to be in order, I activated only automatic control of the processor fan and XMP profile for memory modules.
I will give information from the CPU-Z and GPU-Z utilities, the processor operates at a reduced frequency due to the included energy-saving technologies.
Before performing the main test of tests, it is necessary to check how the processor will behave under load, whether the cooling system will cope and whether too high the temperature will be achieved, which could affect the test results.
The temperature in the free load mode was 33 degrees, and at the LINX run increased to 75. The indicators are quite acceptable and do not interfere with the tests. In addition, I would like to mention the quiet operating mode of the box fan in a simple, but also under load, it buzzes not too and intrusive.
Testing in synthetics
Before you start, I will explain the test method. In synthetics, we compare the Intel Core i5-4460 processor with overclocked to 4700 MHz processor Intel Core i7-4790k.
Fritz Chess Benchmark - There is actually two-time performance gains and is not wise, because the frequency difference is 1500 MHz.
WinRar - in the test for multithreading already double increments, which is where Core i7-4790K is useful with its acceleration.
x264 FHD BENCHMARK - you will have to do additional power from overclocking and lovers to process video, you just look at how much time is spending Core i7. If the personnel would be more, then it turns out that we spent twice the processing of a 20 minute roller.
Cinebench is a stunning result exceeding more than twice the Core i5-4460 indicators.
Next, change the test methodology and compare in several applications 3770K processor results with a performance of 4460. At the same time, it should be mentioned that the video card in both cases is the same and does not affect the difference in the testimony.
3DMark13 - includes three tests, two of which include an estimate of the speed of the processor. We see a noticeable gap in Cloud Gate and Ice Storm. The first image reflects the results for the CORE-I5 4460, and follows the Core i7-3770k.
Summing up I can not say about excellent performance core processors i7 on the example of specialized applications that are required by some for everyday work. In this case, these processors will be useful to you, as well as overclocking.
Testing in games
Testing technique: All possible parameters were installed in all games, and VSYNC is disabled. The resolution on which testing was conducted - 1920x1080. To assess the effect of the processor on the result, the maximum / average / minimum fps values \u200b\u200bare given for Core i5-4460 (3200 MHz) and Core i7-3770K (in 44 MHz mode). In both cases, the same video card was used.
Assassin "S Creed IV Black Flag - all the power and power of the overclocked Core i7 family processor here was not useful here, especially the most fun looks like the maximum value of the FPS.
Crysis 3 - here is already more noticeable to performance difference in the processors, but it is not possible to provide the desired FPS value, everything resumes the possibility of a video card.
DIRT 3 - on your teeth both, especially with a video card of this level. This application It will be quite well on the embedded graph, when decreasing graphic settings.
Metro Last Light - A good game on an excellent book is still one of the most popular games to assess PC performance. Here is essentially parity, and with a little conversion towards Core i5.
TOMB RAIDER - There is an absolutely identical level of FPS to our testing.
For a variety We give the results of the performance of the integrated HD Graphics 4600 graphics on the example of popular online games, which make not the most stringent requirements for home configuration:
League of Legends - Dota 2 killer, a very popular game outside the Russian Federation. Settings can be estimated in a screenshot below, they correspond to the minimum. As a result, excellent graphs are received testifying to the possibility of a trouble-free game in network battles. The test was held in the dynamic arm mode.
War Thunder - Slowly eaten part of the audience from the world of tanks, and it is impossible not to mark a completely different atmosphere and style of the game, but you can still shut up about the graphics at all, it is above all silence. In addition, the creators abandoned the optimization of the game for various graphic settingsSo that their "brainchild" smoothly worked on old computers and laptops. The test spent on the Battle map for Berlin, on the basis of the results you can safely run games on such a processor.
World of Tanks - still keeps the palm of the championship in tank battles, while regularly updated and improved. Remained victories on Golden Joystick Awards reflect the popularity of the game not only with us, but also far beyond our homeland. At minimum possible settings Play will manage without any problems.
Conclusion
And what conclusion should be repeated in this case? If you collect the computer exclusively for games, then save on your motherboard and processor. As a basis, take Intel Core i5 and in a couple to him, buy a quick video card. If you are a designer, work with video or graphics, solve non-standard tasks that require more power of the processor, rather than the video card, then the Intel special for you has prepared Core i7.
Despite the obvious conclusions, it should be noted that when you exit some very popular / long-awaited game, the opposite process will begin to use 8 cores. All forums will shoot messages about the benefits of Core i7 in games and evolve over the owners of Core i5. Progress is certainly not standing on the spot, but there is no longer enough time. And there is no such games, there is no such games and no yes, and by that time it will be more profitable to take 8 nuclear processor, and not 4-re kernels with Hyper Threading.
Pros:
+ Excellent gaming performance at the level of senior models
+ Small consumption and as a consequence moderate heating, even using a box cooler

gennaz.
What ??? Did you continue your children's bastard again ??? I wrote above that you do not understand what the bit of interest is and immediately you confirmed this by writing children's nonsense. What for??? Why write nonsense again if the zero gland ???
And then another nonsense
gennaz. Posted by:
I have a 64-bit Aphlon worked much faster than stump 4 on 32 discharge xp.
In any case, the larger volume of the OP improves performance and no matter what system.
Naturally worked faster, the architecture of 4 stumps was just a wretched, she contributed to working at high frequencies, but even it did not help her. You are nubic at all understand that at 32 discharge system 64 The discharge percentages does not give anything and if it can work with more than 4 gigami RAMs (I don't even doubt that you did not even know this very elementary), then in the 32-bit system, it still will not be able to work in a large volume. In general, in order not to load the children's head, I will say a simple, 64 discharge percentage in a 32-bit system operates as 32 bit)))))
Well, in the late already caught comparisons of Stump 4 with Atlon HP, which is also 32 bit, but significantly slow atlon 64. Here is the characteristics
As a video of an Aphlon loses on the characteristics of PNI 4, it has a tire of only 400 against the 800 stump 4, the frequency is sometimes 50% less and still in the stump has hypertreding, it's like the difference between I5 and I7 where they have the same number of nuclei but at I7 The account of HT streams 2 times more and stump 4 as well. Well, now I take a look as it was in games)))
As it is strange that an atlon that has a frequency of 2.2 Hz wins stump 4 with a frequency of 2.8 Hz in which, besides, the tire frequency is 2 times more and there is HT i.e. In essence, 2 virtual kernels. Why did the stump 4 lost ???????
And lastbill the finishing of your stupidity, about the speed of 64 discharge))) Here is the comparison of the stumps of the 6xx series. The stump here is 64 discharge and most importantly has a cache 2 times greater than + HT i.e. 2 thumbs against one at the atlons. Well, we look like such a monsst with a 2nd cashem, flows 2 times large and a huge frequency will bloom weak Athlon 64)))
Oh my God, what we see as an ATLON 64 3500+ (just that I bought it once) with less than 2 times with a cashem, less than 2 times by the number of threads, with a lower frequency, for example, to tear the stump 660 in which the frequency is 63% more. He repeat he wins the stump with a 2 times greater cache, 2 times more flows, frequency is more than 63% And how do you explain it? Only it is not necessary to attribute nonsense about 64 bits, here the stump is 64 bit or invent the next children's nonsense))))))))
I higher led a huge list of your zero knowledge and which you brought only in this branch. Why continue to humiliate further? You have already lowered yourself nowhere below)))
Overclocking is a complex and painstaking procedure, requiring certain knowledge and training. However, modern computer technology and auxiliary software allow no special problems to disperse PC components not even too much experienced user: At the same time you just need to stick standard instructions And be careful during the process itself.
What is the processor acceleration and what is it needed for?
Raising supply voltage and clock frequency central processor (This is his acceleration) allow you to obtain greater performance regarding the standard modes provided by the developers. The acceleration of the processor implies a significant increase in the heat given to them, greater power consumption and reduction of the overall resource of this component.Overclocking is one of the options to obtain the high speed of the PC with less financial costs. Overclocking always carries the danger of failure of an accelerated module with the ability to breakage other components of the computer.
Check the PC configuration before acceleration
Initially, you should make sure that the main components of your PC are subject to overclocking. If you do not know the configuration of your computer, use the built-in in Windows systemic Tools or Special Programs:
After you have become a well-known PC configuration, it is worth visiting the official sites of component manufacturers in order to study their description and full characteristics. About which of the modules can be accessed, and which do not even try, then.
CPU
Intel has been developed and presented on the market a huge park of central processors. For overclocking, models with letters X and K in the title are ideal. To be slightly more accurate - modification of Intel 9, 7, 5 and 3 processors with Litera K, and all new X series chips.For this reason, when buying an Intel processor, it is for overclocking that choose the models from the specified categories. Here are some modern Intel Core, which can be dispersed without any problems:
- i5-9600k;
- i7-9700k;
- i9-9900K;
- i9-9980hk;
- i7-9800x;
- i9-9820x;
- i9-9900x;
- i9-9920x;
- i9-9940x;
- i9-9960X;
- i9-9980xe.
But is there an opportunity to overclock the Intel processors of other series? Of course, yes, but the company itself, the incomplete chip is extremely welcome, to such an extent that Intel's specialists try to prevent all the possibilities for overclocking throughout updates and other software.
Overclocking "radical" models will be problematic, and you may have to use a more expensive motherboard with support for additional specialized options.
Motherboard
Your motherboard should also comply with certain criteria and approach overclocking. From the technical side it may be any motherboard, but it is extremely desirable that this is a specially designed model.For overclocking, any "gaming" model will suit, but it will cost more than any standard option. The choice of productive motherboards with wide possibilities for configuring and any additional options on the computer market is incredibly wide, but preference should be given to the time-tested manufacturers, such as:
- ASUS;
- Gigabyte;
- EVGA;
CPU cooling system
Overclocking any processor (even unlocked) implies the installation of an efficient cooling system. The latter should be a fairly powerful, equipped with a large fan (or even several) and a large radiator. Some models of the X and K series processors are supplied without coolers, which slightly reduces their cost and gives the user the opportunity to install powerful cooling itself.The more powerful and more productive cooler, to a lesser extent will be heated by the CPU, which means the processor can be rapidly dispersed, raising overall productivity Computer.
Be prepared for the fact that new Systems There are a lot, especially top-end versions with liquid cooling. And if in the case of an air version you can meet 8-12 thousand rubles, then the acquisition of the water system will cost 20-30 thousand.
When choosing a new cooler, pay attention to such important parameters as compatibility and dimensions. And air, and liquid options must approach the socket system board Your PC. Also inside the computer case should be sufficiently free space for the location of the cooling system and efficient air flow circulation.
A little about scalping
Many acceleration of the processor is associated with its so-called "scalping". This "operation" allows a bit (and sometimes significantly, depending on the situation) to get rid of dust and dirt in the ventilation channels of the processor base and thereby reduce the operating temperature of the chip heating. You can describe the procedure like this: from the chips remove the cover, clean the holes, change the thermal paste and put the lid back.Scalping is not necessarily carried out when overclocking. The procedure may also be needed in many other cases when it is necessary to improve heat removal from CPU crystals and thereby increase the service life of the latter.
Scalping the processor independently without appropriate training and knowledge about the device is not recommended.
If you think that scalping your processor is vital, contact professionals, it is desirable to some large specialized specialized service center. Not an experienced IT specialists, an expensive processor is still better not to trust.
Is it worth overclocking a laptop?
The ability to raise the CPU frequency is far from all models of laptops. This option is only available in some game models Or devices with a productive processor and powerful coolers.You can try to overclock the CPU, raising the frequency of the tire, but it will necessarily affect the temperature and, as a result, the stability of the system. In general, it can be said that overclocking and laptop are incompatible things.
Intel processors acceleration via BIOS
Advanced overclockers mostly accelerate the computer with "Hands", not trusting the utilities specially created for this. And to some extent it is correct: the manual method allows the utility of the whole (well, or almost entirely) to control the procedure and avoid potential surprises. This technique, however, requires an understanding of what you do and clearly comply with the relevant instructions.BIOS reset
First of all, reset all the processor settings to default values \u200b\u200bvia BIOS. Even if you never touched them.To get to the BIOS, restart the PC and immediately after powering, press the Delete button several times. Depending on the model of your device, it can also be the Escape, F1, F12 keys or others:
Besides standard reset bIOS settings Here, you may have to make a few more changes:
- new Intel processors have the TURBO BOOST function, it must be disabled for all cores;
- it is necessary to deactivate the C state mode, if any;
- pay attention to the presence of energy-saving options (they can be called differently depending on the configuration), if any, disconnect them.
We carry out a preliminary stress test
Before spending overclocking, you will need to perform a preliminary stress test of the OS. Thus, all PC nodes on "stability" are checked. To perform testing, you need to download the AIDA64 program, which, although specialized softwareBut very easy to use and intuitively understandable:
Temperature values \u200b\u200bplay a decisive role when overclocking. While testing a processor with default settings, the temperature displayed by the sensors (depending on the CPU model, the efficiency of the cooling system and other factors), can vary from 45 to 70 degrees.
Perhaps such numbers will seem to you too "hot", but nothing to worry about: For modern high-performance CPUs, these are normal operating performance under load.
If during the test the processor heats up to the maximum permissible meaningLocated in the area of \u200b\u200b100 degrees, the system will automatically reduce the voltage or turn off the CPU. However, this situation suggests that the chip works at the limit and most likely dispersed it without taking measures (cooling upgrade, the replacement of the thermal paste, etc.) you will not succeed.
After the stress test run (and better 2-3 checks), taking into account the fact that the temperature of the processor does not exceed 70-75 degrees, it's time to start acceleration. But we should not forget that the main goal of overclocking is an increase in the performance of the chip without prejudice to the system stability to the maximum possible safe level.
Instead of AIDA64 for stress test, you can use alternative programs:
- LINX;
- IntelBurnTest;
- Prime95.
Raise the processor multiplier
Processor acceleration will start with an increase in the processor multiplier (CPU Clock Ratio). This is the basic condition required to increase the working frequency of the CPU. Setting We carry out in the BIOS:
Run the AIDA64 program and stress the test, as it was previously described. If everything works stably, and the temperature does not exceed maximum values, Increase the multiplier one more step.
Repeat the procedure until your PC does not give an error during testing, it will hang or unexpected will not reboot. Also, artifacts may appear on the monitor: stripes, distortion, black areas. The final point is the temperature threshold.
With the collapse of the system as a result of testing, go back (down the multiplier to the last stable value) and go to the next instruction. The achievement of the temperature threshold means the end of the overclocking and the transition to the final test - if you are satisfied with the result, or further iron upgrade - if the result did not satisfy you.
We increase the stress of kernels
The processor nuclear power supply voltage is worth exercising only if the PCs have kept the previous test: did not go to the reboot, did not block and does not depend. The temperature of the chip must be within permissible norms. The increase in voltage will affect the latter proportionally, and this also should not be discounted:
Repeat the procedure similarly to the previous one before the system failure or exceeding the processor's threshold temperature. When it happens, roll back one step and proceed to the final stress test.
Total testing
The final stress test is carried out in the AIDA64 program or similar utilities, as it was previously described, but within a few hours. At the same time, the computer should work stably, the processor and the remaining components of the device should not overheat.If the computer does not stand the run, roll back the values \u200b\u200bof the settings you make one step and re-tested. Repeat until you achieve the optimal result.
Acceleration using programs
Intel processor overclocking with special programs facilitates the overclocking process, as it is performed directly in the Windows environment. Before proceeding, it is recommended to reset the BIOS settings to the default values \u200b\u200band conduct a preliminary stress test.After each increase in the frequency, one step requires testing system to stability. At the end, perform a global stress test. Here is the same as in the manual method discussed above.
CPUFSB.
This utility allows you to change the clock frequency system Tire Real time without rebooting the computer. The program works great with everyone windows versions any bit and many motherboard. There is Russian.CPUFSB has the status of a conditionally free utility.
