Hi,
Currently running an i5 6600k, 16GB DDR 4 3000 Ram & a 1060 GTX.
I've oc'd it slightly:
i5 @ 4GHZ (100mhz oc) vcore set manually to 1.185
ram @ 2500mhz 15,15,15,35 timings - voltage at 1.22
My question is, in terms of gaming am I better off:
a) Going more aggressive on the OC's
b) upgrading to a 1070
I'm pretty sure my system is stable now, prime95 runs with no issues (max temp 66c).
The RAM I am curious about, however, specs say it will run at 3000mhz at 1.35v (it's Corsair vengeance LPX) but when i enable XMP the temps on my CPU also go up a lot. Do you really get any benefit in performance by OC'ing the ram that much?
I am half tempted just to put the ram back to stock speeds & voltage back to 1.2... I had a crash in a game the other day (game unresponsive, sound played, OS responsive) and can't pin point what it was... maybe a software issue but still - i'd rather my system be 100% stable.
