hey guys, just got the 2500k and someone i know is telling me that intel sucks hard and that i made a mistake.
here's the thing, he said ocing the cpu, and the faster memory i bought (2x2g 1600 cl8), does not help simply because of intel's i think 'bus limit', maybe fsp?
he says it bottlenecks it and i just wasted my money.
going into the bios i indeed saw that the memory was set to 1333 and cl9. i honestly don't understand how this is possible. could it be that everyone just buys the brand name and is wasting their money?
additionally, he said switching to ahci instead of ide for the hdd would help improve a bit of performance. i currently don't have drivers to do that (have the asrock pro3-m), does anyone know where to look, and if it's worth the change?
