Haven't been keeping up on overclocking for the past year, but from what I recall bclk overclocking tends to cause instability. At least when it came to sandy bridge chips it wasn't recommended to go...

Sometimes a different BIOS will need more or less voltage. It looks like everything is set to stock there. Othere than setting your ram higher to 1.5-1.55v i don't think anyone can really give you...

Majority of the time there is going to be very little difference. I'd say a max of 10ms if everything is set optimally. I just run tests on each setting through various games on different servers to...

memtest works well, but I've had an issue where ram was failing and memtest didn't pick it up. I generally just do 1 pass as that'll pick up most problems. More than 1 pass might be needed if you're...

ram issue? 4gb should be enough for a 2009 game. If it might be a ram issue, I'd try out memtest and do a single pass as a quick check. You have your cpu clocked at 3ghz and basically every C2D...

I talked to one of the guys who worked on the game and he was in one of the top WoW guilds for a while. Would make sense to make this game similar to an MMO. It is also very similar to Diablo 2 with...

The i3 should be fine for gaming especially with it OC'd. Majority of your FPS will come from your video card nowadays. Less and less games are CPU bound. If I were you I'd hit up a 6870 for $150-160...

Like what was said, go with the H80. For some reason I am thinking your system is more or less an H50 already. They don't look exactly the same, but pretty close.
