Go to SolutionX51 R2 cpu bottleneck / cpu upgrade.
Hello all,
I have these following 3 questions regarding my CPU and a possible upgrade I'm thinking, but firstly I would like your opinion if an upgrade would be really worth it.
So my build is the following:
X51 R2
WINDOWS 10/ x64
BIOS A10 (up to date)
16GB DDR3
i5 4460 3.2 ghz / max turbo 3.4 ghz
GTX 1060 6GB (EVGA mini - upgraded from GTX 745)
SSD Corsair 480GB (upgraded from a 2TB HDD which is removed from the machine).
330W Power Brick (upgrade from the 240W).
DVD Rom also removed.
--------------------------------
Overall my X51 boots like in 5 seconds and performs very well.
-------------
However, I would like your opinion on the following:
1. Do you think that my the i5 4460 3.2 ghz bottlenecks the GTX 1060 6GB? , and
2. Do you think that upgrading to an X51 R2 compatible i7 would make a difference on gaming or not really ? - would it be worth it? On which case a compatible i7 would make a difference anyway?
3. Which i7 is compatible with my machine R2 BIOS A10 ?
----------------
Thnk u :) !!
Thnks!!! :-)
