My intent was to help you "possibly" increase your system perfomance. Since you are a tech I thought my suggestions would have value because you would understand what I was talking about and could perhaps work with those settings to improve what you have without spending any more money.:)

Sorry I offered the information and bothered you with it.:(If you are ever in the mood to play with your clock, those are target areas to focus on with the processor you are running.
