Recently I have taken the liberty to make a few additions to my computer mainly the Nvidia 550 ti, the Xion Heat sync w/two 90mm fans, the Patriot DDR3 ram, and two 120mm Antec tri cools. I did not upgrade all of this hardware at once keep in mind but as i have done it piece by piece my computer has had more and more performance issues (which is kind of the opposite of what i was going for) the last hardware i installed was the 2 140mm fans, after booting up even trying to access the internet was a challenge. Being that it was the fans to cause the most significant performance loss i am assuming that it could be a power issue.
My questions are could power be behind all of the performance issues i am experiencing, I have no active OC on my computer right now and all the BIOS settings are stock. Secondly can I increase the power to my hardware without increasing lets say the frequency of my ram. I would like to have exceptional computer performance without having to OC my comp/ however if my only option is OCing then i suppose i could take the time to find stable settings. If I can just increase the power to my hardware without doing a full OC what settings need to be increased specifically, CPU, CPU PLL, dram? And lastly could just increasing the V to all of my components fry them? :/ what are safe settings?
