I bought a new computer in August of 2012. So it hasn't really been long at all. Last spring I did remove the CPU from the motherboard, and I feel like I might have messed something up. I'm playing WILDSTAR now and the FPS drop is noticable when I run it at default. I overclocked it to 4.1 GHz and it keeps crashing every few hours or so but the FPS is good. So I feel like I messed my CPU up. I'm probably going to just change it out but not sure what and how to do it. Do I need to buy the same CPU? Do I need a new motherboard? Kind of confused on that issue. Here is my setup.
i5 3570K
P8Z77-V LK
8GB Memory
Radeon HD 7870
Anything I should do about this?
