Is this really necessary anymore? This last update was about VR headsets. Many before are game specific. Any input would be appreciated.

Well I was referring to gaming benchmarks, I had looked at plenty of them from reliable sources. It showed not much of an fps difference in test systems. Anyways I will try your suggestion and use a combination of bus speed and multiplier for the heck of it.

Thank you. Big difference in fps @4.6 ghz vs 4.2 in Wolfenstein. Running at 1600 mhz. Fine for me but is it possible to get to 1866 with 4 dram sticks on this memory controller for cpu?

I increased the DRAM voltage from 1.5 to 1.55 volts. Increased CPU multiplier to 23 (4.6ghz) and disabled all power saving features along with increasing the vcore voltage like before. I was able to boot just fine unlike before and I played Wolfenstein the new order for about an hour with no...

Thank you for the reply neieus. I am not concerned with RAM speed, nearly as much as CPU speed. I have seen plenty of benchmarks running 1600 vs 2166 vs ddr4 ram. The difference is very very minor. Cpu clock on the other hand, especially with my processor is. If I have to down clock my RAM...

Motherboard: GA-990FXA-UD3 Rev. 3 Cpu: AMD FX 8350 RAM: G. Skill Sniper series 1866 DDR3 (2x4gb) (2x4gb) GPU: Evga GTX 970 I am sure there are a lot of people on here that have exactly the same build as I do. All of the hardware I have is a top seller on Newegg. Anways, I previously was able...

Im currently exploring my options available for streaming pc games over my network to my tv in the living room. The steam link looks appealing to me. only 49.99 and it does exactly what i want and no more. Also i can rest assured it will work with my steam library. My question is: Will this...

I assumed that cooler was air. My bad, I'm glad I should see similar results with my 212. I'm curious, why that would be the case vs your liquid cooler.

I will just format and start from scratch. I'm glad that you are getting a really good OC with just air. I was worried because I read that some people claimed that you need liquid to get a decent OC. My hyper 212 plus probably has been one of my most cost effective/performance purchases ever...

I see you have your 8350 @ 4.6 GHZ. Are you doing liquid cooling or is a decent aftermarket like the hyper 212 good enough?

I keep a clean system so I think. I don't have any sluggish behavior in normal use/ hitches and or unresponsive application use. Actually another question; I was wondering if I need to reinstall Win7. Socket is the same, I can actually run the current phenom II I have with the mobo I...

I guess my long winded question could be summed up into one. Was my previous system bottlenecking my 760 GTX? I guess if that is not the case I'm really disappointed with my purchase of the 760 gtx. I thought I would get better performance out of that with games like D3 and WOW. I seriously...

90 percent of the time its software. If something was faulty, either RAM or HDD your system wouldn't function. I think it's virus/malware related. The BSOD could of been a coincidence with a recent update or bad memory write. Run the latest virus programs, malwarebytes and if you need to...

Is this the only game it happens to? Is it recent? I would seriously consider recent updates/software issues if temp is not the issue. Hell I would format just to be sure. But thats just me :) As a pc gamer I format constantly.
