Hi, I recently upgraded my cpu from the Fx 6200 with a EVGA 660ti to the 8350 with the same gfx card, and got a nice 990fx sabertooth r2 mobo with Corsair H60 watercooling to go with it. I definitely noticed a FPS gain from the 6200, but not anywhere near what I was expecting. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
When i first got the cpu, I ran BF3 at 4.2 ghz that was automatically set by the mobo, and I was getting 120 fps! Then after oc'ing the CPU myself to 4.7ghz, as well as the gfx card, I get 60-80 fps on ultra, dipping low as 45. That pisses me off. I don't know if I overclocked correctly, my temps with the H60 w/ a push pull set up has the temps 65 C on load with prime 95. I unparked my cores as well. In Arma 3 Alpha, I'm getting 45 fps, but dropping to 35 fps. What I didn't do was do a fresh reinstall of Windows 7? Or should I go to Windows 8 for better performance? Or am I fine? Did I overclock correctly? Should I go down in my speed? What should I do???
Please Help me- PLEASE NO INTEL/AMD FLAME WAR!
