Some Advice For a N00b Gaming System Owner

[Dirkeschtan]

Hi

(please excuse if my english is bad, i am South African )

This is probably very forward of me but Please could someone have a look at my pc specs and advise on what i could do to improve on it (preferably without spending any money on it, i.e. configs or somesuch). It is playing Games OK but i get the weird feeling that something isn't right, like weird lag in some games Like ARMA III and Batman Arkham City and the Witcher 2. I was told it would play all new games on highest settings.

I did not Build it myself as i am not that technically skilled and the machine was built for me by my IT company as a replacement of my old Gaming PC ( Insurance paid for it so i did not even choose the components). They just got a budget and i told them to give me the best Gaming pc they could for that budget.

Computer Case:Corsair Obsidian 800D

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz (12 CPUs), ~3.8GHz

Graphics Card: 2 x Gigabyte Geforce GTX Titan 6GB in Sli Mode

Thank you in advance for any advice. Peace.

Good rig overall, might check you have the latest BIOS and drivers, DRAM is overkill for gaming and might be causing lags since they used 2 sets of DRAM and would guess timings/voltages are off, XMP is programmed by the set so mixing sets can throw things off, might try with a single set in the A1, B1, C1 and D1 slots, then enable XMP and select profile 1 - if it seems better that way then will need adjustments to DRAM and MC voltage and prob to the Advanced/secondary timings,

Thank you for the quick Reply !

I will have to print out your reply and give it to my IT guys because my n00b brain does not understand it, let alone know how to do it !
