Hello All,
I need some help.... i brought an ultimate vanquish system from overclockers about a year ago now.
The setup i have is:
Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366) which is supposed to be overclocked to 4.00 GHz
Prolimatech Megagalems Rev B CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 Socket DDR 3 Motherboard
Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 12800C8 (1600MHz) Low Latency Tri-Channel Memory
I intended to use this as a games machine but unfortunately i have used it for everything other than that. Anyway i have recently upgraded my graphics cards; 2x Sapphire Radeon HD6950's Toxic versions in xfire - to play Battlefield 3 and MW3. I've had a few problems with BF3, low FPS being one of them. I have been trawling the net for solutions and trying everything possible but somebody said to check the CPU. I'm trying to play it on ultra, using a dell 24' monitor 1920 x 1200 (1080p) resolution. The cards should handle it from the website reviews I’ve read.
Could the CPU be my problem? I have checked the overclock settings in the bios - According to the OC profile, it states that it’s running at 4.01GHZ but when i load up CPU-Z and Prime 95 together it doesn't move from 2832MHZ when the CPU is stressed.
Can you help me find out if it’s overclocked properly? Any feedback would be gratefully received.
Many Thanks!
