Alright I always did console gaming until my sis got me into WorldOfWarcraft and than I got into other games as well. Any ways my pc before was not a gaming PC at all. Had to set everything on low to run WoW. But any ways went on craigslist just to search for a PC IF there was anything on craigslist. Lord behold I saw one that said gaming PC. Kinda funny cause she put ddr ram 2.7 ghz and so forth. I was like what???? But any ways she lived about 10 miles from me so I was like what the heck. Its was listed for 150bucks any ways. So called up and went to go check it out. It was not a stock computer at all. Here are the specs.
Motherboard-Nforce 680i SLI
CPU- intel core 2 cpu E6600 2.4ghz
Video Card- PNY geforce 260GTX
sound card- Turtle beach montego
Ram- 6gig kingston 1066mhz ddr2 5-5-5-15
OS- Windows 7 64bit
Well lady knew nothing and I mean nothing about PCs. She bought it from a Auction for $50 and knew she could get atleast $150 for it. So I took it for $150. So what you guys think? Runs Crysis on 1920x1080 on ultra min fps 15. Average 19. Max 25. I tried overclocking the video card cause it was set to stock so downloaded rivatuner. I looked up to see what people had it set too and pretty much did the same as they did. I got up on average 22fps when overclocked than after awhile it drops all the way down to 10fps. So not sure whats causing that. I want to overclock the CPU but afraid to do so cause im not good with math number 1 and afraid of frying it. I know the cooling fan is not stock cause the darn thing is as big as my fist and has copper tubings going into the cpu. So any Ideas on overclocking. I know where to go into bios to change it just wish had someone beside me to make sure I dont fry the darn thing.
