I've had a decent amount of time in my bios, resetting CMOS and all that within the life of my rig. It only took six months for me to finally figure out that this rig, for it's price however, did not get fair game compared to an OEM Intel Pentium G630 computer when running Minecraft or a server for that matter (I hardly turn off my computer other than to fix memory leaks and to fix skittering performance due to CPU clocks). As I've begun to use programs like MyPaint, Photoshop CS6 and Krita (x64) I've spent time clocking my RAM somewhere around 2000MHz (my pair are shipped for 1600MHz). I've heard that higher clock speeds tend to create higher latency's, but that they tend to cancel each other out now due to the low latency's in DDR3's standard. Would I benefit in any way by underclocking my RAM speeds for a lower latency? I don't notice many problems in more multithread optimized applications like Battlefield or Source Games (or older games that require so little power like Battlefield 1942 or the likeness) or smaller Photoshop documents (2K or smaller) but things like MyPaint tend to create hangs when running (albeit the windows port is terrible and they have addressed that but have yet to recompile the updates for x86 or amd64), Photoshop has update issues in 4K+ images (even when not caused by RAM cap) and Minecraft runs around 40 FPS even with Optifine's Multicore chunk loading optimization for modern/AMD processors (I've heard less complaints on Intel builds, let alone OEMs).
Further more on my problems might the be caused by AMD's Speed over Power (coming from a user who notices bad scaling between an old budget processor and a newer "extreme" processor)
