Hello, Im looking for bottleneck(s) in my system and I have come here to possibly get some help : )

Specs:

CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition

GPU: Asus (AMD) Radeon HD 6950 DirectCU II

MB: Asus Crosshair IV Formula

RAM: Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 4x4GB (16GB)

OSdrive: Intel X25-M G2

Storage drives: 3x2TB Western Digital Caviar Green

PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2 650W

Im running 3x Dell UltraSharp U2412M, almost never in Eyefinity, tho.

I appreciate all the feedback I can get : )

That is a nice sounding rig there. I could see an SSD fitting in nicely and it would be much faster.

How far have you pushed your 965? Under water or air?

3.8-4.1GHz "on" air, but the air temp was -2 degrees Celsius. But its not good at all for overclocking.

Not good at all for OCing? Keep trying :P

I do like seeing these "well rounded systems" like Helltech said.

-2? I assume your house has no heating or your pc is outside.

There is no bottleneck in that system, but upgrading that CPU would give better performance.
