Can I overclock a 2133MHz RAM?

You can look up youtube videos on how to OC memory for intel but I wouldn't bother.


So I should stick with 2133MHz for WoW? I guess :/

I searched for a lot of info... ya people been saying just like you RAM doesn't effect WoW a lot...[/quote]

WoW is processor intensive. You say a 7700K is your old rig?

Honestly, that makes me ill. Im still sitting here on a 2600K and 15mb ram with a 1080.

Humph!

The only main issue I'm having with this PC is that 40man raids or more than 40 people in 1 place.. My fps drop to 40-35+


The problem is the crappy Windows scheduler. If you use Linux or Mac the scheduler will split the worker threads on different CPUs. Your performance will be much more steady. The graphics features in the next patch should help Windows users some too assuming they have power enough GPUs to help offload.

You are the only person I have known to claim WoW performance is far better on mac because it can get around the game engine limitations with the schedulers on Mac systems. Even the "proof" you shown in the past does not stand up to what you claimed.

As of now this is how WoW does calculations in a simplified explanation.

A+B=C
C+D=E
E+F=G
G+H=I
I+J=K
K+L=M
M+N=0

With windows it sets all those on a single core so the core gets taxed to 100% but in the screenshots you showed before showed all 4 of your cores where none of them were maxed out. Issue is even the Mac Scheduler cannot run A+B to get value C while calculating C+D at the same time because it had not figured out what C is yet. It has to wait for that first calculation to complete first before moving onto the next. Basically it does not matter if it is all on one CPU core like windows does it or bounces between the different cores like how you showed Mac does it because it still has to wait for the next clock cycle before it does the next calculation. All 7 lines I typed above will still need 7 clock cycles to complete regardless of what cores each clock cycle is run on.
