The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
Hi, I was trying to see if i3 540 is good enough for running Crysis. with a hd 5870 And it did perform pretty well, tell me what you guys think! Thanks for watching. Dont know why the first loop is so much laggier than the 2nd and 3rd loop.

@neonzion7 i3 will boost your system and it’s cheap
i have x2 240 and gtx 460… would i3 530 be good for my system?
@tiagom135 yo man how true is that if i overclock my i3 530 at 4ghz it could run better at games than i5 750 or at some games, how about crysis and metro 2033, wich one to choose with a gtp 460 or an ati 4870 cf?
LOL
An i3 is 138 dollars that awesome coolermaster v8 cooler is 60 dollars.
That’s 200 dollars, you could have just bought an i5 for 200 dollars with a regular cooler and got the same perfomance as your overclocked i3!
What’s the point.
It’s just like buying a Pentium 4 for 25 dollars and a liquid cooling system for 150 dollars to overclock it to 5GHz or something.
@rasen013 when you oc i3 540 properly it can be faster than the 750 at games
@Rapagangsta Lol wasting, i see it more like an investment… it really depends, if you are aiming for an i5 you should be looking at i5 750, it is the true quadcore. The i5 6xx are just dualcore with HT, same as i3. If you can OC the i3 then it will be better than any i5 6xx.
@Rapagangsta you should definetly pick the core i5, its a quad core and it makes alot of difference when you play games like GTA 4, Crysis, Bad Company 2 etc.
Hey, I’m going to build a computer, would you recommend wasting more money on the Intel Core i5? Or should I stick on the Intel Core i3?
