    Overclocking my cpu doesn't work (i5 3570k and asus p8z77-v LK)

    I recently bought a 1440p monitor, and then decided to buy another GTX 760 to go with it. I thought that'd be more than sufficient to run at 1440p, since I'd then have 4gb of VRAM. However, I soon learned that SLI doesn't utilize the VRAM of each GPU independently, and thus I only have 2gb of...
