For me it's my ram , nothing nearly passed that 6 gig mark for the 16 gig capacity , Also my power supply which hovered around 220 watts at most , of of the 500watts max,  rest of em pretty much have hit it's most efficient point, Post yours down below..

FX-4100, technically I should be overclocking it to 5ghz with the cooling that I have, but I'm too much of a wimp to do so

GTX 1070 - Ryzen 5 3600x - Corsair H100i V2 - 32GB DDR4 3200

My motherboard :D  It has way too many USB ports, and features that I actually don't use that much.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

My 7950, I haven´t clocked it any farther than 925mhz because I think I´m reaching the limit of my psu already.

Oh, and can you please fix the title of this thread OP?  It should be "What's the one component in your PC that you haven't used/pushed to its full potential?" (fixed "it's" and "pottential")

put your pagefile on a rewritable DVD.  That'll use it to its full potential! xD 

 

Hey, it's called "DVD-RAM" for a reason xD

If I'd have to awnser this question it would be my PCI-e 480GB SSD because I haven't had it filled for more than 400GB at any given moment?

I managed to max out my 750 watt PSU under full load with my old GPU overclock, GPU has been maxed at 2160*5160p (DSR) gaming, my CPU is getting maxed while video rendering or something, my 16GB RAM is getting maxed when I go full overload on multitasking again combined with my 4GB RAMdisk, my sound card is pushing all the volume it can I guess, my wifi card is just doing its wifi thing from time to time, my motherboard has almost no usb/expantion slots free anymore. Also, my HDD and sata SSD have been maxed out capacity wise at some point and I do sometimes use my optical drive.

 

Oh, I do have to say, I also don't use my motherboard's COM ports.

Maybe CPU or motherboard because I dont have an aftermarket CPU cooler so haven't OC'ed.. But really nothing

 

CPU: I hit 100% on a daily basis

motherboard: what is to say here..

RAM: I hate 100% on a daily basis

GPU: I can ez pz hit 100% in games

PSU: yeah I guess I haven't pushed that one
