Hello everyone, I recently upgraded to a Toxic 280X and my Phenom II X4 965 just can't keep up with it and it's seriously bottlenecking the GPU. My motherboard is a ASRock 970 Extreme3 and I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler, I've overclocked my Phenom II to a stable 3.9GHz by only upping the multiplier and voltage, any more and it's not stable when gaming. Voltage is at 1.55 so I can't take that any higher, so is there anything else I can do lessen the bottleneck?
