Hello all!
So recently while I have been playing crysis, I have been getting quite a bit of hiccuping. I play on max settings, 1440x900, 2xAA. This yields about 40 fps on average, with low 30's during the most intense action. The problem I am having is that after a good bit of gaming, I get some very serious hiccuping, and massive stuttering of the game.
I monitor my CPU and GPU temps and they are both no more than 40*c so I am almost positive they are not the cause. I am now almost positive my memory is to blame. I have my OCZ memory overclock to 900mhz from 800, with some slightly tighter timings (5-5-5-18 T2 is stock, I run at 5-4-4-15 T2)
I have not yet measured the temps while gaming, but since I am over volting them, while folding they reach the very high 30's and low 40's and thats just the heatspreader temps. I am guessing they are running in the 50's or so tops. My case has good airflow, but I am looking to keep the memory very cool without having to clock them back down.
My question is this- How does the corsair dominator fan do for ram cooling? I dont want the OCZ one most likely, because bright blue LED's kinda arent my thing.
Also- how noisy is it?
Thanks for all the help and + rep to anyone who can lead me in the right direction here!
