I'm always craving to get the most performance out of the hardware that I bought. I keep looking for possible ways to improve the thermals and with that the performance of my CPU, GPU and RAM. Anyway, I'll just get to the point here. Are there any special or non special ways to substantially improve performance anywhere in my system, especially the CPU department? Disclaimer: I find delidding a bit too tricky. Thanks in advance.

It doesn't get much better than 5 GHz :P

 

You could probably play with RAM timings for maximum bandwidth. Even the slow 2400MHz LPX sticks can overclock and bandwidth will increase performance in some games when paired with a powerful GPU. If your GPU is actually a 750, why not overclock that to hell too? It's a cheap card, you should push its voltage past Nvidia's recommended numbers :)

Get a decent CPU cooler, overclock it = performance

I've got an H115i. It's just for heavy load.

overclock your cpu then? 

 

what do you want to be "faster"?

I'm already running my i7-6700K at 5GHz.

 

It's more like something no one really thinks about, you know? Like a thing with your CPU or heatsink for that matter.

Make sure you quote people so they see the message you sent. And is that 5ghz oc stable, and at what voltage?
