Hey there!
I need some help to understand how to max out my gear!
My specs are:
Asus P6T deluxe V2 1366 chipset motherboard
Intel Core i7-950 (Watercooled)
AMD Radeon HD 5970 Powercolor (Watercooled)
Revodrive 120 GB SSD PCI-e
Corsair dominator GT 10 Gb (2Gb died for some reason)
I have an issue with CS:GO. I can't get a stable FPS while gaming. 200 FPS stable sometimes, but it drops to 70-80 FPS when meeting enemy. I bought this system to be very powerful many years ago. The motherboard supports 2000Mhz ram. But then I recently discovered that i7 950 do not support more than 1066MHz.
I therefor want to overclock this old system. Since I don't have money for building a new one.
How come then so many guides show how to O.C 4Ghz on CPU and 1866MHz or 2000MHz of the GT RAM? Wouldn't that just be a bottle neck at the CPU side since its locked at 1066Mhz anyway?
(Sorry for bad typing, Norwegian is my main language.)
