Preference.. a better OC CPU or PCIe 3.0 capability


Recommended Posts

Just thought I would throw this out for feedback. You may have to jog your memory on this, ha!

 

Have an Asus Sabertooth P67 motherboard (with an i7-2600k CPU), that after seven years or so may be starting to fail. So as a backup I bought an Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen 3 mb (actually found one new/factory sealed). Understand it has PCIe 3.0 on board but cannot utilize as I have a Sandy Bridge cpu.

 

So for those who maybe went through this years ago or are really into hardware... do it think it is better to have my OC 2600k (I can reach 4.8GHz on air) and stay with PCIe 2.0 using my EVGA Geforce 1080 SC, or replace my Sandy Bridge with an Ivy Bridge PCIe 3.0 capable), and maybe not get as good an OC. I hear they did not OC as well and got hot.

 

Guess I'm asking/curious which combo would get better overall performance for P3Dv4?
