Hi all, Today i got some upgrades for my build
i got:
i7-6700 Skylake
G1 Gaming Z170 Pro Gaming mobo
8gb ddr4 vengeance lpx
So now my build consists of
i7-6700 Skylake
G1 Gaming Z170 Pro Gaming mobo
G1 Gaming Nvidia GTX 1070
G1 Gaming Nvidia GTX 960
8gb ddr4 vengeance lpx
OC'ers 120gb SSD
1000gb HDD
Corsair H45 Liquid cooling
Corsair CX750M psu
3 extra fans in the Aero cool Strike-X case
I was previous not to try overclocking as my old motherboard (M5A78l-M usb3) had no vrm cooling (i had no idea what this was)
Just wondering does anyone have any tips or advice?
I shall be putting more memory and another ssd in shortly most likely. Did have 16gb of vengeance ddr3 but was told it wouldnt work in my new board.
I have only installed all the drivers/utilities from the motherboard disk, and done needed updates. Did a benchmark on unigene on extreme, full screen dx11 and got a score of 2347, whereas old processor motherboard and 16gb memory got me 2251.
Just looking for anything im overlooking, any utilities i may have missed which could be helpful.
still pretty new to tuning my setup ect, so any advice/criticism is welcome
Thanks
Darren
