    Is my PC underperforming?

    I tried with and without DAC but the difference seems to be little.

    Aye, i said stupid thing.

    Is my PC underperforming?

    Depends on the game. Most games i tested so far are old or use old engine or supposed to be low demanding. E.g. CoD4 is from 2007, Portal 2 is built on Source engine, League of Legends has 2D graphics, Diablo 3 has relatively simple graphics. So i usually try to max everything out in those games...

    Is my PC underperforming?

    Okay. I only managed to overclock to 3.5GHz so far. I need to do some study on overclocking since i'm new to it. Don't think i noticed any stuttering on desktop. In COD4 it's still present albeit seems to be much better. I also ran 3DMark11. I know it's not best benchmark for CPU but rather as...

    Is my PC underperforming?

    Hi. I bought this HSF and installed. Seems to work fine so far and it's a lot more quiet. CPU temp is 22 C at idle clocks while fan runs just at 620 RPM (I enabled QFan Standard profile in my ASUS mobo BIOS). I will try to overclock soon and report back.

    @tiraides Thank you for suggestions. Can you recommend some other HSF, as this one seems to be particularly hard to find in my area. Looks like it was very popular and Cooler Master is no longer producing them.

    Is my PC underperforming?

    @tiraides I was overclocking with stock HSF. While i know it doesn't sound like very good idea, i read several times that people ran Core i3-530 @ 3.6 with stock HSF successfully. YES, spot on. I think i can notice some stuttering even on desktop, e.g. while browsing web. Even more so it's...

    Is my PC underperforming?

    @pcjunkie I'll be off to work all day, so i'll probably try overclocking tomorrow. I already tried OCing a day ago. First i tried to OC to 3.6GHz but Windows gave me BSOD when loading. I'm new to OCing so I could've done something wrong. Then i tried 3.3GHz and it went fine but I didn't test it...

    Is my PC underperforming?

    @tiraides Thanks for still helping me. I guess i'd have enough money for any upgrade, but I'm not sure how much i'm willing to pay, guess the less the better. Also I think i still can exchange this graphics card for another one, since i've bought it just recently. My case is Thermaltake Swing...

    Is my PC underperforming?

    I think since upgrade is going to cost above my expectations i rather stick with what i have and try to lower settings in games/use lower fps cap. Probably i will just apply new thermal paste to cpu and overclock it just slightly, and then buy UPS at some point (electricity shutdowns are not...

    Is my PC underperforming?

    Hi guys. Thanks for the responses so far. Sorry, i forgot to say that I'm trying to get 120 FPS in games that i expected to be not too demanding on hardware. E.g. Portal 2 uses old Source engine, COD4MW is game from 2007. In COD4MW it even dropped below 50 sometimes although rarely. But even...

    Is my PC underperforming?

    Hi. I've just bought Palit GTX660 OC 2048Mb GDDR5 graphics card and installed it in my system. Seems like I have lower performance in some games than I'd expect. As I have 120Hz monitor I'm trying to get 120 FPS whenever possible. In Diablo 3 FPS starts to jump whenever I encounter group...
