The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
This is it, the gaming rig that makes the FSX videos. Flight Simulation is a great hobby of mine and requires a strong processor to pull all of its graphic potential. Previously this Rig was up to 4.2 ghz but that was not enough, so Ive taken it to 4.5 ghz with a new processor and also changed the graphics cards to 2 6970s in Crossfire. Many may say that they read in a forum that you dont need 2 cards and I challenge that idea. The reason behind it is, one card can get overly stressed and over heated which causes tears and other graphical anomolies that just ruin the flight sim experience. When you have Two cards, it takes the load off the one card and shares it between two and provides a smoother less stressed flight sim experience. I have tried this time and time again. Believe me when I tell you, it is worth it. Thank you for stopping by my channel and watching this video.

@marcanthonystorm K Thanks. I was wondering how much did the computer cost over all?
@Dexter11929 watch all of my latest videos and there you will find the answer. I’ve had better results with my ATi card. thank you for watching.
Wow that’s a nice computer dude…the reason I didn’t get a ati card is because people said it’s not as good with FSX as nvidia is that true?
@marcanthonystorm yeah, i got the powercolor 5850 pcs+ overcloked edition and just bought the xfx 5850 black edititon which is overclocked, and my i7-930 was at 3.8ghz but i brough it back down for some reason dont know why!!
@CaNxYoUxStoP On second thought I guess it would be like having one 5970 so you should be ok. most important is to get the CPU up to 4.0 or better.
@CaNxYoUxStoP Go with 2 5870, that would be better.
you think 2 ati 5850s would be good?
i ordered a new one yesterday
Nice rig, no offence in anyway, the thing is that FSX isn’t designed to run on 2 cards to get better FPS, it uses one card to run the game on. Second what is interesting to know, what are the FPS with FRAPS running as some people wanna make video’s
you can have a processor running at 4.5GHz but without any traffic and an airport add on like madrid barajas you will get good FPS, turn those things on and FPS will drop bigtime. Ow and ATI drivers hate flightsims 
@EICASActivitee I keep it locked at 30 so it doesn’t have any unusual spikes or loss for example being at 60 and suddenly down to 9 would be very noticeable. Hope that made sense.
whats your FPS without Payware aircrafts and scenery’s?
nice rig for fsx although the money spent could have got you your ppl which is £2000 and you could be flying in real life instead of playing fsx. i personally wouldnt waste so much money on a pc for fsx its a hog and poorly written and is now starting too look its age in the graphics sector nice one man though heck of a ltot of cash to spend lol
@AviatorHD I usually get around 27 – 30 in payware like UK 2000 Heathrow. Madeira I tried with Captain Sim 757 yesterday and it was 30. I will try to make a note in new videos to describe the FPS for the scenery.
Ok, that’s it! I quit making fsx vids because my i7 is paper compared to this and I’ll use mine to just watch porn
@blackmambalim I’ve used multi cards in the past because it is less stressful on the cards when you do sli or crossfire. Single core cards get very hot when running Fsx to the max which causes tears or maybe your plans textures disappear. And that will happen. But with multi cards it doesn’t. For the record these cards don’t produce micro stutter. 3DMark Vantage was the smoothest I’ve ever seen it especially in boat scene from Jane Nash. 6970′s in crossfire actually work.
whats the FPS rate @ BIG CITIES with payware aircrafts…
n wat cooler u use for CPU
@blackmambalim What do you mean FSX don’t run SLI?
"FSX doesn’t use the SLI performance from the cards" -Overclockers USA
nice rig ,i’ve got this SSD 128 gb ,and planning to do SLI GTX 480,any advice plz , some people say that FSX don’t run SLI but you’ve proved that crossfire work just fine, thanks for the vid
Looks good. I can’t wait to get Sandybridge when it comes out.
Strange, i got about 29500 in vantage with i7 920 @ 4.2ghz & crossfire 5870 on def…
…amazing…
Amazing computer! =D
