Hello. I have a pretty decent gaming computer however I feel like I'm not getting the performance that I should be with the parts I own. Here are my Current Specifications:
CPU: Intel i7-3770k 3.5ghz (Socket LGA1155)
RAM: Kingston 16gb 2400mhz
HDD: Samsung SATA 1tb HDD 7200rpm
Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M LX
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 ti 3gb (EVGA SuperClocked Edition)
PSU: Corsair Modular HX850 Gold 850w
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D (Maxi Tower)
Cooling: Corsair H105 CPU Water Cooling
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
For the start, My Motherboard's BIOS only seem's to allow me to change the speed of my RAM to 1600Mhz max without failing to restart and boot. I don't see an option anywhere to change the voltage manually.
So I'm already missing out on 800Mhz. So I've made the decision to buy another Motherboard and use this one for another system with a i5-2400 Processor. I've heard that my i7 is meant to be paired with a motherboard with something to do with "Z77". Regardless, if someone could please link a motherboard that would take my specifications and fall under the Z77 name then thanks because the lack of fully utilizing my RAM is upsetting. And because I'm afraid one of my parts is bottle-necking the entire system.
Thanks in Advance,
Oliver.
