Slow pc

[zedselder]

After oc an intel core 2 duo e7400 to 3.5 and changing the timing of a 2x2gb ddr2 800 ram from 6/6/6/18 to 5/5/5/15 and oc an nvidia gt 9600 with 2gb vram from 650 core 400 memory and 1625 shader to 735 core 420 memory and 1700 shader all that running on win 7 ultimate 64bit with 1tb sata Seagate for storage hdd and wd 320gb sata hdd for win all that on a Gigabyte motherboard the pc feels so slow what could be the problem

hdd.

hdd.

if i undo the oc the pc gets very fast

getting an ssd will speed up the entire system, loading programs will be a lot faster and such. the hardware is pretty old though. try to keep browser tabs to a minimum and try not to multitask so much.

you posted that reply while i was typing mine so i couldn't have known

 

that is weird and sounds like the oc isn't entirely stable. that would be my best guess.

nvm, i thought that it is unstable but i did a burn test and this looked very ok

i also changed the psu and the hdd and still i even removed the storage hdd changed the fans and heat sinks even though they were working fine and temps were ok and even changed the os i used a win xp win 8.1 win 7 ultimate 32 and 64 and even Linux still the same problem

Undo the RAM tweak.

 

RAM settings outside of stock can cause all sorts of odd problems.

well i did that still slow any type of oc no matter what it is cpu gpu ram whatever it is would still make the pc slow

Might be a power supply issue

Are you using the stock CPU cooler? Intel's Speedstep tech could be causing the CPU to throttle down if it gets too hot.

i changed the psu 3 times i used an 850watt, 1000watt, 1200watt

used 2 different aftermarket coolers and its not even getting hot at the stock one and even if i oc it with only 100mhz it gets slow

im using a test bench with no restricted air flow with 5x120mm fans surrounding the cpu it never get above 40 on the stock cooler

Do you have spare C2D CPU to test the system with?

i tried another core 2 duo but it was a different version

i did an oc on the new cpu and still the pc is slow
