That you're running your memory at retarded speeds for what your socket kan handle. Either that or you didn't select a decent XMP profile. You don't get 9-9-9-24 timings with anything other than 1600Mhz RAM, which is pleb-tier.

Bascially there's settings in the bios which will make your memory faster than it is by assigning 'timings' made by the manufacturers. Just look it up on the website of the maker of your memory, should increase performance by quite a bit.

>>681023034
Haha, yeah. Looks like I'm one of the few that switched it.
>>681023157
it's probably running at 1333mhz or something, check your bios
>>681023157

>>681020878
Well the fan begins spinning fast and loud so, sometimes my PC will shut down too
>>681023426
dang...
>>681023157
It'll set the timings as factory standards, you actually have to go into your BIOS to activate an XMP profile with CL8 timings. Balistics will have 2 profiles, 1 with CL8 timings for 1600mhz and one for standard @1333 mhz, liek you have on now. Just change that and you'll be golden.
>>681023598

If you have a 4790, H97 mobo chipset and a 970, you are not going to run your 16gb of RAM at 1333mhz. That's clockspeed and you should change that the second you put it in your pc.
>>681026421
Why 390 now? Wait for new HBM cards (Pascal and Polaris). I have a single 390, it's a good card but I bought it only because I had to build a new system and couldn't wait to wait for the next cards

>>681028262
What the hell even is midrange. I mean, I love my 390, but 300-350$, that seems much closer to high end than midrange.
>>681028623
damn those drivers!
>>681028623
*pretty sure
>>681027895
OpenAL is just an audio plugin by the way. Bloatware like you'd see on the driver-dic of your motherboard, comes with pretty much every 'free' version of software like Speccy. Doesn't harm you, but has no place to be on your pc.

>>681028693
Newer games actually have 970's and 380/390's as recommended specs now. Those have becoem the rather expensive midrange, as they have expensive variants (980, 980ti etc) or cheaper ones (950 etc). So looking at it that way I guess those cards are midrange now.
>>681028693
Midrange vs. flagship or enthusiast
960 low

>>681029638
To what will likely be to your surprise, no. It's not on purpose.
The motherboard only allows higher speeds if I have a tri-channel RAM setup, and 3 sticks for 12GB at the time I purchased RAM was double the price of two sticks at 16GB.
Also, attempting to overclock RAM to 1600Mhz made my system fail to POST, so not trying that again.
It's not an issue however, 3-4FPS in games doesn't matter to me, and I don't see anything else where the RAM's speed is hurting any performance.

Ah, I didn't pay much attention to your motherboard, apologies. Strange that it doesn't let you fiddle around much with RAM setups, although my old one also wouldn't let me have 4 DIMMS filled. Which was strange as the manufacturer said it should've been able to run 4 DIMMS @2133 at the same time but I never managed to get a POST with that either.

>>681031261
Yeah, old shit gets slower speeds, but hey, what can you do?
But like I said, it runs fine. It has options to overclock the RAM with XMP to 1600Mhz, but you already know how that went. I think I was lucky to escape damaging the RAM controller on my CPU though.
But dat CAS latency though.

>>681031950
>implying there's any difference between 7 and 10 as far as gaming performance is concerned
Nope.
>>681031717
XMP profiles have been like dark magic to me. On my old 990FXA (gigabyte) motherboard it simply wouldn't show XMP profiles, even though it said it would. My current one (Z97, MSI) shows 2 profiles but one doesn't work with all 4 DIMMS filled, even though it should have no problem with that.
So I stepped off the 4-dimm filling and went to 2 modules of twice as much. Corsair Vengeance is cheap as fuck now anyway, so might as well.

>>681032337
XMP almost made me nuke this corner of my house, so I won't bother anymore.
Which I'm fine with since I'm not the overclocking type anyways.
I'm just glad my mobo had a BIOS reset button in the case something go terribly wrong like setting up XMP went for me.
My RAM is Mushkin, it was cheaper than the rest at the time, but it was the much needed improvement I needed from 6GB.
>>681032171
>PC master race
are you retarded or something?
>>681033068
Yep, reset buttons are a blessing. Shame mine is on a rather hard-to-reach place on my current motherboard but at least I can get to to it if needed. Although I hope that won't be necessary.
>>681033068
i have XMP running on my Z77 board with 4x4GB G.skill Ripjaws X hasnt given me any issues and they have been running at that 9 9 9 24 @1600Mhz mode for months
>>681033068
Every mobo ever in existence has a bios reset button you raging ignoramus, you take the battery out and put it back in
and XMP didnt fuck your computer up; you did by selecting settings that were not recommended by the manufacturer
>>681033139
running them 1080p kek
>>681032649
Ebay has my mobo for sale at $110. LGA 1366 sockets are pricey since their processors are cheap as hell. I do know my mobo doesn't officially support the hex-cores, but being the same socket, they should work. Personally trying to get one of the processors at 90W TDP so I'm not idling in the mid-high 40's.
>>681033395
I've ran my Kingston HyperX Beast modules (4x4gb) at 1600 with 9-9-9-24 timings through XMP profile 1 as well. The problem was that the XMP profile for their suggested speed (2133 with Cas11 timings) simply didn't work. 1600mhz with 9-9-9-24 timings is pretty much standard with current/somewhat recent DDR3 modules, so obviously that doesn't cause any problems.
>>681033955
then how are these guy nuking there ram modules and memory controllers then?
>>681034113
No one has ever ruined ram with XMP. Consumer ram is rated to over 1.9V and no motherboard would allow you to oc ram anywhere near 1.9V. frequency and timing is irrelevant and will in no way cause damage to components
>>681033378
I sure hope you won't need to either, hearing all my fans go 100% maxspeed on the POST fail made me go whiter than i'm supposed to be. I think it ultimately killed my Seasonic PSU too since the issues only started shortly after that.
>>681033395
Some of us are luckier than others, glad it worked out for you.
>>681033782
If it's not recommended, then why in fuck's name does the motherboard have the option there?

xmp is Intel Extreme Memory Profile... its a collection of generic overclocking settings for kiddies who want an easy button because they are too stupid to manually overclock. It is not set by the ram manufacturer and is often way out of spec of their recommendations

Well, I'm an overclocking nubcake, so that figures.
Thanks for the info then, figure I'll just reserch manual settings should I ever give OCing another go.

Would it be worth it or should I invest in a new CPU + DDR4?

It's kinda ok for a laptop but not really great by any means.

yet they put the profiles in there anyway, if they didnt think the modules could handle it they wouldnt have bothered putting it there in the first place

I was deciding to change my HDD to an SDD because this hard drive is kinda slow at startup (after the desktop shows up it lastong like 1-2 min doing its stuff; when i power up the pc is highly faster).
Should i change my hard drive?

i mean if your just flushing money down the toilet an i7-5775C on the same socket you have now would be the best cpu for gaming. The EDRAM provides much better benefit than DDR4 does

maybe your motherboard is just shit
because RAM is usually tested at the speed it's supposed to run at, so your RAM shouldn't be the problem

that would just be a bandaid really. All that's going to do is lower boot-up and program opening times. Not going to help with gaming performance on that rig since it's not the bottleneck.

Gut, dass ich auf 2015 gedowngraded habe. Meine Ti bleibt am Leben.

Implying the needless network overhead that 10 has doesn't impact gaming.
