Overclocking the i5-14600K: Free Performance or Pointless Heat?

Описание: In this video we test how much performance you actually gain by overclocking Intel’s i5-14600K.

We compare stock settings vs two overclocked profiles across productivity and gaming workloads to see whether higher clocks translate into real-world gains — or just more heat and power draw.

Tested applications & games:
• Cinebench
• HandBrake
• 3DMark Time Spy
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
• Starfield
• Oblivion Remastered

Test system:
• CPU: Intel Core i5-14600K
• GPU: RTX 4070
• Cooler: Cooler Master MA824
• Case: Fractal Torrent

Results include temperatures, performance differences, and stability observations under heavy AVX workloads.
