Hello,
Recently I've found that my current system has started to struggle with modern games on top settings, so I have been trying to overclock it extend its useful life a bit longer. Unfortunateley I have only managed to get it to 3.2Ghz and it still seems quite unstable. Some games will run perfectly fine but others, such as World of Warcraft will crash the system in moments if I run it in dual screen and sometimes it will crash on single screen setup. I have a few screen shots of my current settings and was wondering if you guys could give me some advice please. The rig is about a year and a half old now I think most of the gear apart from the PSU was brought with the machine.
First though, my current setup is:
Intel Q6600 CPU
DFI Lan Party X48-T2RS Mobo
4Gb Corsair Dominator Memory
PC Power & Cooling 620w PSU
2x 150GB Raptors Raided together (OS+Games drive)
500Gb WD Caviar Black for storage
BFG 8800GTX 768Mb GPU
Screenshots of system setup in EVEREST(trial)edt:
p.s sorry about the image I've just quickly thrown it together
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
