    Voltage questions for i7-950 OC @ 3.72ghz (new OCer!)

    Worth upgrading from i7-950 @ 3.06ghz

    I currently use an aging system consisting of an i7-950 @ 3.06 ghz (no OC) , gtx 560 and 6gb of ram. I recently put in an order for a new gtx 970 card. I'm wary that my CPU would likely be a (huge) bottleneck here. I also have considered trying to overclock my CPU to around 3.8ghz, as I do...

    Hi friends, Firstly thanks for reading this post and helping out. I currently have a i7 -950 @ 3.06ghz and a GTX 560. With the release of the new 970's im thinking of getting one soon.
