Trying to prolong the life of my computer, until I can afford a thorough upgrade to and i5 or i7.
I've been running at stock speeds since I got it, knowing that it could be OC'd but never really needing it. Now I am noticing some slow downs while running Battlefield 4 on the Highest Settings. First attempt to overclock, using the built-in clock speeds, I tried the 3.7Ghz and was stable and smooth until 3 minutes into the match and I suffered a BSoD.
What do I NEED to replace in order to be able to succeed with overclocking this current build?
I'm considering upgrading to G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866, as the Ram is what I think to be the largest concern.
Any advice and direction is much appreciated.
