Should you overclock your CPU? That might depend on a few factors. In this video I demonstrate how overclocking my i5 9600K CPU impacts performance and temperatures in RDR2. The key detail is whether or not your GPU is bottlenecked by your CPU and this will depend on a number of factors like the game you are playing, the settings, the resolution, etc. In my case my RX 6800 XT is being bottlenecked by the CPU at lower resolutions but not at 4K which is where I am actually gaming most of the time. So I usually don't bother with an overclock on the CPU since it just drives up temperatures and fan noise without gaining me much actual performance in 4K gaming. But someone who is CPU bottlenecked or into competitive gaming with low settings might find the tradeoff worth it.
