Hello all,
Firstly, I would like to apologise if I am in the wrong area here and if so, could someone redirect me to the correct page (nicely)
I have had a quick look around here and quite frankly I am terrified. I thought and have been told this is a pretty easy process but hmmmm.
I am a flight simmer with quite a complex, although dated, rig and only use this computer for MS Flight Simulator 2004 (FS2004) and wish to set up precisely for that.
I am also an aged Ozzie Expat pensioner with no, repeat, no, experience whatsoever in this line of work. I also live in a little village in East Java, and there is very little to no computer experience here which is able to assist me. For example, the biggest computer shop in the area is run by one man and he has two technicians (I use that word loosely) I asked the owner some years ago about buying an AMD GPU. He then nonplussed his technicians by asking them what a GPU was. Unfortunately, they did not know either. Not really a great help.
So to begin, I will give you my computer details.
Motherboard ASUS P8Z77-V- LG
CPU Intel Core i7 2600K
RAM 20GB
GPU 2 x AMD Radeon R9 290, 4GB unclocked
Display 6 x LED TV/Monitors (see below)
1 x 60 inch 1080p LED TV (Main Display)
2 x 32 inch 1080p LED TVs (side cockpit external views)
1 x 40 inch 1080p LED TV (Overhead Panel) - Portait mode
1 x 22 inch Viewsonic LED monitor, Resolution 1680 x 1200 (Throttle Quadrant/Lower DU display)
1 x 24 inch Dell LED Monitor 1920 x 1080 Portrait mode
PSU Xigmatic 1200 watt
OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
I think that includes all the relevant bits but, please ask if anyone needs more information.
I have read articles on AVsim and other flightsim forums where people have overclocked their i7 2600k s to 4.5 and above.
As I have virtually no knowledge nor back up here, I am looking for a safe overclock specifically geared to giving slightly better performance to my sim (ie frame rates etc).
Can anyone please give me a step by step guide (or point me to one) that is, I believe, necessarily specific to my motherboard and CPU.
Again, I apologise if this is covered elsewhere and I am wasting everybodys time on this page. I do, however, need help and will be extremely grateful for any assistance and or guidance given me.
Lastly, how cn I follow this thread automatically
Regards and thank you all
