thanks that might be my next step if all else fails but have managed to get 920 overclocked and running at 3.92ghz with max of 4ghz at present.
K running stable at 3.92ghz so think next step ssd then increase memory then new gpu and hey presto fairly decent rig again
Nice. Just keep in mind that you may want to back that off a bit for a long term OC, especially when summer comes around and ambient temps go up.
right just found on amazon can get the exact same memory i have (6gb) for £55 making my system 12gb, would this along with my oc improve my system for now in minecraft and ark? with a view to getting an ssd for faster loading times as well, and further down the line a better gpu or would i still be p"£$ing in the wind?
Sounds like a good plan to me as the SSD and GPU can always be used in a new system a few years down the road if, or when, the OC'ed CPU and extra RAM no longer cuts it.
Thats what I was thinking but would doubling my ram now make any difference considering age of processor etc (6+ years) or would I be better going for new build considering the memory wouldn't be able to be used in a new system whereas most other things would as that could be £55 towards a new build. IF extra memory now would cut it I'll get ssd and gpu as oc as already improved system performance.
I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here..... YOUR PRIORITY SHOULD BE A SSD If you can afford both a SSD and the RAM, then by all means, spend away!
A SSD while great for all round snappyness if you have a issue with lag in a particular game it will do squat for that. Will load faster but won't help games performance one bit.
