Hi i was getting tired of my gpu not being used to it's full potential so i decided to download evga precision x mainly due to the fact i was tired of my computer getting really hot whilst using games such as league of legends, borderlands 2 and dayz
i'll upload images that i screencapped to show you guys most of my specs and what precision x is telling me right now, i'm not all that tech savvy so i was hoping you guys could help me.
i've included my  ram, processor and graphics card
images are attached.
Any help or info i can get would be greatly appreciated as i want to get the most out of my computer so i can enjoy gaming and making videos and such

    Welcome to the EVGA forums
    You do not have enough posts on the forum yet to be able to post links, show they wont show up.
     
    Without knowing -anything- about your hardware config, OS version or monitor setup it is difficult to provide you with any guidance.

    Overclocking that Phenom would help a lot.

    i'm kinda worried about overclocking it, it used to overheat a lot but that's mainly cause it hadn't been cleaned out in a while, i only have a few fans in my system, one in my graphics card, on pushing air out of my case, my cpu's fan and my power supply's massive fan, i used to have another in but it kind of messed up and broke.
    and if i overclock it i'm worried that it'll result in my system frying
    how could i even overclock it by the way? cause i have no idea how to

    Is your cpu using the stock heatsink?

    I believe so yeah i personally don't put together my computer i have a friend of mine who runs a business do it for me, but yeah it's using the stock heatsink, i had started to overheat beforehand as i mentioned due to not cleaning it out, which i think i will be doing every month now
