HiThank´s for the help so far!I have measured my power consumption and it was between 250-260 in fsx and in BF3 above about 305W. My question is how much is the power consumption with a i52500K system has, in normal speed and in OC at 4,5GHz?Best Fredrik

4.)Wat wattercooler should you buy to the ability to OC to 4,5-5GHz, can you reach a that high with a aircooler?Best Fredrik
I would take a look at XSPC's Rasa RS/RX watercooling range if you feel you have the time. They save you a great deal.

HiI understand it will be better than know but how much better if I get today about 10 fps as worst!?I get about 10 fps in EHAM Amsterdam with a i7 920 at 3,2GHz. I know it will be bad fps in big airport but how much better will it be a general?A few question to you:1)Silverstone Raven RV03B-WA:Can I use watercooling in this chassi?2)Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9:My I choose some other RAM who works better in OC at 5GHz? More RAM?Best Fredrik

I'd say you can expect about 15fps at EHAM. EHAM is a hog. And a big one.1) I don't know why not. Every chassis can be used with watercooling, only dependable on how "far" you wanna go.2) No, there is no "RAM for 5Ghz" -> it is only CPU dependable. See some other threads for RAM recommendations, there are virtually hundreds. If you get a good chip, you'll be able to get 5. If not, you are probably gonna have to settle for 4.5-4.8.

Depending how much you load, what you load, which addon aircraft - the definition of "normal" is for each person different. On my computer I tend to achieve around 20-25fps in VCs. While I don't always make it, it's never a bad experience (below 15).You'll be OK with high-clocked SB and a good GPU.In the end: nothing better you can get right now.

HiI am satisfied as long the frame is not bellow 15fps! About 10 fps is meaning bad performance to me!The settings that I now have in fsx are Ok, that give med great graphic, I can live with the same settings in the new system but for a better performance!Best Fredrik

You can get your EHAM and 920 to display 25fps if you want it to, just have to lower the sliders (even more)!SB is faster than 920, you could count for about 20% for sure.It all comes down with what can you live, or do you want more just when your the new CPU? I know I am like that...

Of course I "can". But I am not. The question is only where.I suggest you stop these questions. They are gonna drive you mad if you start pursuing FPS...No.
