I would like to get some input on what to do here. And sorry in advance that it is a long question, but I do need help on the whole set-up.
I've tried reading numerous forums and looking at some overclocking tips, but I just can't wrap my head around everything and specifically with the current set-up I'm working.
The Machine:
Asus M4A89TD PRO
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edit (3,6Ghz)
4GB Adata Gaming Series DDR3 2000Mhz CL 9-9-9-24 1,55 - 1,75v 1T
NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 OC (2048 MB)
Scythe MUGEN-2 Rev.B" CPU Cooler
BeQuiet 550W Power Supply
Scope of this thread is:
Find more memory and how to integrate it with the old?
How much to clock the processor and how to deal with the cooling?
Plus any other tips/insight you want to give.
The Objective:
I play Natural Selection 2, which a LUA based game and seems to demand greatly from the machine. So to put is short, I want more FPS
The processor has been clocked at 4GHz, only by adjusting the CPU ratio multiplier, but I fear that my Mugen is not powerful enough to keep it cool. So it is back to 3,6Ghz now.
Is there any reasonably priced water-cooling or something to go with this processor?
And is 4Ghz enough?
The memory is I have is few years old, but should be rather good. But I don't have enough of it.
Any recommendations on what I should buy? With a price around $80-130
e.g. CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 8Gb (2x 4GB) 2000MHz, CL 9-10-9-27, 1.65V
or The new Adata Gaming?
or Should I just buy cheaper 1600Mhz and "down-clock" my current memory?
GTX660 is currently clocked at:
GPU 1163Mhz
Memory 6108Mhz
Voltage 0,975v
Power target 110%
Finally as an extra question, Do I need more power?
Any input is much obliged.
