Hi.
I've been having some problems with frame drops and I have no idea why so I'm going to try and buffer up my memory a little more to get the ball rolling on some aspect of making it better.
My specs are below
8GB (2x4GB) Dual Channel G.Skill 2133Mhz ripjawsX series.
AsRock 990fx Extreme3 Motherboard
AMD Fx-8320 w/ Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo
Since I've been having frame drops during games, I can think my XFX Radeon 7970 3GB DD edition GPU is possibly using all it's memory and I suffer the loss in frames (It fluctuates) I made a different thread on that about it - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2268859/frames-dropping-game.html
Here is also a screenshot currently of CPU-Z memory tab.
The processor I'm using has a max of 2400Mhz DDR3 and the motherboard I have supports Dual Channel DDR3 2100(OC). So I'm bottlenecked minorly by my motherboard but only by a fraction.
I was wondering what I need to do to ramp up my memory to get them both running in 2133Mhz? and If I do get them running at those speeds, am I going to run into problems because of the approx 33Mhz difference (Such as no blue screen errors?).
Where do I start from? I've not really overclocked my memory as such but I'd be grateful if someone could help me understand and just walk me through it!
Cheers!
