never overclocked anything before. i seen something about doing it with the manufacturers BIOs application?
i have a phenom IIx6 1035T, i wanted to upgrade to a phenom IIx6 1100.
However i figured it would just be better to overclock since the hassle is big and the gain is minimal.
I don't want to buy a new mobo. i have a m4n75td. It's Just a real headache to find a case to put it in, not getting shorts in the case and finding them. it would take many frustrating hours. The max i can get is a phenom 2 x6 core class CPU. i'm running battlefield 3 and got a new GTX 660 TI card along with a 750w corsair power supply.
I think i'm getting bottlenecking because the framerate jumps around a bit. 58 - 100
i seen some benchmarks for crysis 2 at 1028 x 768 resolution, and the max fps the core i7 got was 128 frames. my chipset was 100.
so i guess the question is, is it my CPU that's bottlenecking? or is am i just using the wrong graphic settings? i haven't tweaked the graphics settings too much yet. it's not maxed out. it's on medium mostly. 1(024x 768)
i have a feeling it may be the caches on the chip that contributing to the framrate jumps. hoping someone could fill me in if overclocking would even work? thanks.
