I recently OCed my ancient Q6600 from stock to 3.0 gHz via bsel mod, with stock cooling, wich I'll replace next week, to see if I could get a little more out of it before total pc upgrade.
But whenever I play a game (Mad Max, Dark Soul 3, FIFA 15) the cpu always get near 100% load, causing heavy stutters. It's not always, occurs from time to time, more aparently on Dark Souls 3 and little less in Mad Max. This was happening even before I did the bsel mod to oc the cpu. EDIT: The gpu is barely at 50% load, all the time.
I know the cpu is old. But hell, is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2tCB1K6HXE, the game is running at 1080p, high settings, with zero stutters! With the same cpu as mine.
I want to know what is causing this? And a possible way to fix it, if there is one.
My rig:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
4gb ram DDR2 800 mHz
HDD 1TB Western Digital
Zotac GTX 950 OC (ZT-90602-10M)
Core 2 Quad Q6600 OC 3.0 gHz via bsel mod
PSU C3Tech Video Edition 500R VE (DSA-500VE)
TV Philips 1360x768 (All games in this resolution)
PS.: 10 months now without a clean install of the Windows, wich I'll be doing today to see if it helps.
