I have posted several questions and Tom's always comes through, but I am lost and not sure if I should do this.
Current build less than a month old.
M4A88TD-V EVO3.0 ASUS mobo
AMD Phenom II 965 OC'd to 4.0Ghz
2 Saphire HD 5770's
Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler
Antec NEW Truepower 750w modular PSU
42" JVC 1080P HDTV for monitor
2 4Gbs Kingston value ram 1333 OC'D to 1600 @ 1.65v
Smilodon Case which I do not recommend as you have to take out 3 fans for the Noctua cooler
2 Hich CFM fans in push-pull config.
I get a score of P16180 on 3DMark Advantage and wanted more, so I ordered th AMD 6 core 1100T. Have learned that was a mistake and it will not make any difference in gaming. So I have to refuse the UPS dilievery when he gets here today.
And I found out increasing my RAM will not help either. My mobo supports OC'd ram to 2000. Can my value Kingston handle that?
What, if anything can I do to increase my game playing with what I have? I do not have another slot for Crossfired X's 3 on video cards and know a HD 5870 preforms about the same as 2 HD 5700's. I was trying to go cheap, but have a system that could play any game and future proof it with the 6.0 SATA and 3.0 USB.
Is my NB maxed out at 2209 and frequency at 228? I have my PCIe upped to 110 and Multiplier at 20 with HT refer. clock at 205. It seems very stable at these setting but I am not getting the frame rate I would like for such an investment. It is all over the place when I run 3DMark advantage. I have no games to play yet as I was going to pay this system off before I start buying games, but can make some changes to I if it will help. Am waiting on the wireless adapter for Xbox 360 controller as I am old school and do not get the keyboard and mouse play with any success. I have Far Cry and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, but can not use keyboard and mouse over gamepad.
So, what is the masses opinion? Can't change over to Intel as I am stuck with AMD. Just not an option money wise.
