CPU or RAM?

[LeDude]

Hello,

 

I have 2x Kingston HyperX Gen DDR3-1866 4 GB (running at 1866) but because of that my cpu can only run at 4.2 ghz, would it be worth it to just underclock them to standard (1366 mhz) to get my cpu to run at 4.6 ghz?

 

Specs:

Video Card: Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics (8gb) (Clocked speed is 1290 mhz with memory on 2000)

Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor (4.2 ghz 1.92 voltage)

Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3

RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Gen DDR3-1866 4 GB (Both are running at 1866)

 

Edit: I play CSGO, Overwatch, Black Desert Online and games alike

What do you do actually? If it isn't something specifically memory intensive, you'd much better get performance out of the CPU increase.

[zzzzzzzhhh]

But, why?

Try running some games and see what does better. The games you play may be more memory limited or not.

I solved it.

My ram sticks are running at 1366 mhz, and my cpu is running at a stable 4.6 ghz with 65^oC max temp after AIDA EXREME stresstest for and hour.
