October 30, 201213 yr Hi, I've currently got an i5 2500k which is maxed at 4.3Ghz oc. I was wondering if it was worth upgrading to an i7 3770k or i5 3570k? I'd just like to max out setting etc.

October 30, 201213 yr No. To max out FSX with a few addons we need a 6GHz cpu. So to most people your idea would be a waste of money. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, get the fastest cpu and water cooler and overclock to the max you can.

I've always thought there was more in the chip but anything past 4.3 and I BSOD on boot. Current setup is: 16gb Kingston HyperX DDR3 12800c9 1600Mhz AsRock Extreme4 Gen3 z68 motherboard i5 2500k @ 4.3Ghz (H20 water cooler) AMD 6950 2Gb (6970 Bios)
