    Great explanation guys @spikeyxxx  and @adrian2301 . Yeah it makes sense. I know processor speed is important.

    Well honestly I believe it is because my node tree is taking up more real-estate than the devs probably ever imagined a human would do and the ‘Problem’ that we are aware of is definitely surfacing because Blender doesn’t use more cores natively. I have hundreds of nodes on there and even if I had a faster core I would be hitting the brick wall (just not as bad I guess).

    I guess along those lines:
    I believe I can overclock my processor but I have no idea how to do this safely:

    There is this ‘sly’ 3.10 GHz stated here and I imagine that is the safe overclock speed and I have some settings on my MSI dragon center but has anyone successfully done this without horror stories? Last thing I want to do it break another PC lol.
