Increase in performance?

[Kanonen]

Hey

1. post here 🙂

I have a buddy who is claiming that he will gain performance when he gets his watercooling (without overclocking). He thinks that when he gets his cpu cooled from, lets say, 45 degrees celsius til perhaps 35 degrees, then his cpu will perform better!

Is this true or is he just an amateur?

Thank you 🙂

Welcome to the forums.

I don't see how 45 isn't a normal temperature. He's an amateur.

Well, the reason he's getting it is not the increase in performance or the cooler cpu, he just wants really lownoise cooling.

But do you know if there generally is a possible perfomanceincrease with a cooler cpu?

If his cpu is throttling, then yes. If his cpu isn't throttling than improving cooling wont improve performance.

The only way water cooling will give him more performance is by letting him get higher OC's

Exactly!!! It can allow him to obtain a higher stable oc likely but 45c isn't anywhere near a temp that would hurt stability or performance on his system now for any of the newer (last 2 years or so) chip architecture.
