Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

Rather than upgrading cpu, upgrade the gpu to something like as cheap as gtx1650 will give your pc a breathe of New life once again
Thank for you info bro, but like I said, if I dont want to just throw the 660 ti away, I was wondering what is the highest upgrade that I can go up to. But it seem like everyone agreed to leave it as it is no waste more money.
I see your point, I really don't like leaving my old pc parts laying around collecting dust either, what I do is take my previous pc parts, put it together as Budget Builds then dump them off to Family and Friends whom do not know how to build pc's, works like a charm :P Seriously, I do usually give it to them for Free though.
To better answer your question:
Your i5-3470 is a 10+ year old platform using only DDR "3" Ram, that platform is getting too old to bother with.
I looked into Bottleneck, that 660 Ti is already to weak for that 3470, So....
A couple comments I've seen in this Thread could help you to not have to throw it all way.
Thank you bro for the info, this is helpful, yeah my plan was giving it to someone else they might put good use to it. Since I am in third world country LOL.
