Hello Everyone!
I'm experiencing some major concerns about my PC's performance.
I assembled it a week ago (18/01/2016).
Here are the components...
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/Xkkx4D
Intel i5 Skylake (6600K)
Samsung 850 Evo 500gb
Asus GTX 970 Strinx
Gigabyte z170xp-sli
Cooler Master Hyper 212x
Kingston HyperX 16gb DDR4 2133MHz
Corsair cs650m
Windows 10 Pro
My test results from 3Dmark Fire Strike are fairly standard, ranging from 9500 to 10400.
I've also run Unigine Heaven several times, achieving scores between 1100 and 1280.
I'm using Gigabyte EasyTune for CPU optimization (assuming that) and GPU Tweak for GPU tuning.
I'm new to PC configuration, so everything feels a bit unclear. What recommendations do you have to make my PC run much better? Do you suggest any benchmarking tools or software for optimization? Are there specific settings I should follow?
I didn't invest as much as I did to reach these scores.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi RJSmtih,
Never question your PC's speed—it's always impressive. Spend some time looking into manual OC techniques for your board and GPU; it really makes a difference. Do you have Samsung Magician updated to version 4.9? If so, switch to maximum performance and turn off hibernate and indexing. JJ has a great tutorial on overclocking the Asus GTX 900 series. If you're new, take your time and get familiar with your system.
