im running most current ati drivers 10.1 on win 7 64bit

when i built this all i didnt tweak any bios settings at all so as far as i know everything is stock settings

how many fps are you getting in games?

what are your temps like?

 

[smartech]

Post ur exact PC specifications (especialy video card) and the settings u r trying to run games with (low-high, amount of FSAA and resolutions)

cliff notes from the screen shots:
HD 5870
6gb ram at 1080 ocz gold
i7 920 stock, speedstep on.
cant see board.
Edit:
found build GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R



Latest chipset and gpu drivers installed?

and what everyone else wanted about settings and actual fps.

You system should be killing it.

You have 1600MHz memory but it's only set to 1080MHz. If we knew what mobo you have we could tell you what to change to get it up to speed. It also appears that you have Speedstep and the CxE Functions enabled. If your system is running cool you can disable them for a more responsive system.

You should read thru this overclocking guide a time or 2, even if you don't overclock it may help explain a few things to help you tweak your system

GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R is the board , how do i fix the memory ??

MY cpu temp is 39c and seems to always stick around that temp , would that be low enough to disable speestep and cxe? im only running with the stock heatsink

Start the PC, when you hear the post beep hit the <DEL> key to access the system bios.

Go to the MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)

If you are NOT Overclocking, and your memory supports it, you should see a setting labeled

Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.)

Enable this setting and it should configure your memory automatically.

If your memory does not support X.M.S. then you'll need to manually set everything.

Go to the System Memory Multiplier (I've downloaded your mobo manual but it's not showing me all the options)
Select one of the following options - 1600 or 12 or 2:12

DRAM Timing Selectable - I need to know the make and model number of your ram to determine these settings. (a Newegg.com link?)

DRAM Voltage - This should probably be set to 1.65v but I can't be positive until I know exactly what ram you have

CPU/VTT Voltage - This should always be within .5v of the DRAM Voltage. Your Default setting is 1.15v which will be just barely within specifications at a DRAM Voltage of 1.65v. You should set this to 1.2v or 1.25v for system stability.

Once you get your memory speed set correctly we need to see what your various system temperature look like. Download and run Hardware Monitor and post a screenshot so we can see what your looking like at an idle.

Newegg.com - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK - Desktop Memory

 

[Slaymate]

Okay the DRAM Voltage needs to be at 1.65 volts

Set the CPU/VTT to 1.2v
or 1.25v if you have any stability issues.

Go to the DRAM Timing Selectable and change it from Auto to Manual

Make the following changes to all 3 Channels (A, B and C)

Set the CAS Latency Time to 8
Set the tRCD to 8
Set the tRP to 8
Set the tRAS to 24
Set the Command Rate(CMD) to 1
