Hi. long time reader but first time posting.
I have
E6750 2.66GHz @ 3.2
4GB RM 667 @ 800
8800 GT 512 ASUS
550W PSU
Win XP 32-bit
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
Using Easy Tune 6
The overclocked temp is about 45c at load.
I tried increasing the FSB from 333 to 400 and that gives me 3.2 core speed, and it automatically sped the ram up to 800MHz. and general windows use seems faster.
But whenever I run a performance test on a game, the results are much worse.
e.g
Crysis CPU test is usually 28.5ish on average (1680x1050 High noAA)
But when the CPU is upped to 3.2, the result drops to 24ish.
And the same happened to devil may cry 4 demo. (1680x1050 max 8xAA) It went from 65/ 47/ 79/ 47 all the way down to 55/ 38/ 63/ 38.
Why? And how do I fix it?
