Posted February 25, 2016 My Rig: Win10 OS Intel i7 6700k CPU EVGA GeForce 970 4gb GPU Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16gb 2133MHz DDR4 RAM Asus Maximus VIII Hero Motherboard Corsair RM650 PSU Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler Samsung 850 EVO 500gb SSD Seagate 4tb HDD How can I optimize this rig to run games at maximum power, while not shortening the life of the system too much? I'm somehow dropping frames in Fallout 4, which is insane..

I didn't think I was going full on enthusiast, but I got frame drops in a game that isn't even that big of a deal to run, so I figured I must be doing something wrong. This is my first build so yeah..

Posted February 25, 2016 Umm, it is a 970... You can try to OC it. I wouldn't worry about shortening the lifespan of the system you'll likely replace it way before that becomes a factor.

Posted February 25, 2016 Replace i7 6700k with I5 6600k/i5 4670k/i5 4660 and get 980ti. Magical Pineapples
