No I didn't buy it for FF, it appears my i5 also bottlenecks in witcher 3, got annoying stutters due to fps drop in crowded places or when running. i7 fixes it all. Also it looks like witcher3 utilizes ht pretty well, all 8 threads are used in that game.
Just wondering:

1) How are you able to OC it? >3>. I have the same exact CPU, but I don't know how to/afraid to.
2) Requires something other than the OEM fan? (Liquid Cooling, etc.)
