Does cooling help comp speed?

[SugoiMonkey]

I just got some new comp stuff and my 3d marks isnt goin well, neither is regular fps.

In general does extra cooling increase computer speed? Cuz my comp has no cooling in it.

Thx!

Yes, I don't know a lot about overclocking and mass cooling, hehe.

Yes cooling allows the processors to run faster or more to spec.

Duh, not a well posed question.

If you are running standard settings, your computer is either stable or non-stable. If it is overheating, it doesn't slow down, it crashes. So, from that perspective, cooling is a go/no go impact, not a factor in your benchmarks.

If you are overclocking and running out of spec, cooling will be a factor in how far you can go. However, when you raise the speed too far, the computer will crash, not slow down.

What do you mean "no cooling"? If you really have no cooling you couldn't run at all for any period of time.
