Oh and also set the taskbar to auto hide or run in full screen mode, the taskbar is known to slash the FPS in half when a window is touching it while in the 7 Basic theme.

Well here is an update,Mission accomplished. I completely removed FSX and started from the beginning using Nick's guides. Then followed the guide for setting up CFG and graphic settings from the link here http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=191071.Frankfurt is pushing 20 fps now (on max settings) and 2-3 FPS more on high settings which is acceptable for me. Considering this is at 1920x1080 resolution it's pretty good. Outside of EDDF I get 40-50 FPS on max settings. :Applause: A couple of more things to help people with the same problem I had that are reading this post. Try to limit your framerate and set it to unlimited. For me setting to unlimited is 5 FPS faster than setting to limited at 30. I don't know why.When you buy an expensive processor don't be stingy with the motherboard!!! I made that mistake and my processor is able to run six cores at 4Ghz, stable after overclock with a good motherboard. Proof:

Because of my poor decision in motherboard I can't get the best out of my CPU.A special thank you to all the people that posted tips and helped me. :Hug: Thank you to Nick and ___'s posts. (yes that's actually his name)I am planning to get myself a nice motherboard so I can overclock my processor to 4Ghz. I have no doubt FSX will be even better when that happens.Cheers

Just saw your post, I have an AMD 1090T X6 paired up with an MSI 890FX GD-70, Gigabyte 460GTX and put simply this is the best system I have ever had. It was very easy to get it to run Stable at 3.8ghz on air, temps haven't gone any higher than 42C. I haven't tried to go any higher with the OC, as it works well for me, though I am only at 1280 x 1024. I mostly use FSX for GA aircraft, so no problems with FPS

well, your CPU is unlocked, so I would say you should be able to get a good OC even on a not so good board. I used to have a 1090T @ 4GHz on a board with that chipset.what is keeping you from geting any higher now? temps maybe? what HSF are you using?

Hi, in the video I posted above concerning the OC of the 1090T the board has an option in the BIOS called AI Tweaker. My board does not have that option. I have the option of increasing performance by up to +12% in BIOS. That's about it.If you have any advice how to do things better I will be happy to try it out! I am a bit of a noob when it comes to OC.
