I have tried to overclock before but my CPU wouldn’t run stable and kept crashing in game. I heard some of the CPUs would overclock and some wouldn’t. And i used my motherboards overclocking switch at lowest setting and still crashes.

CPU- AMD phenom II 555
GPU-GTX 560
Ram-4GB
Hard Drive- 500GB

While playing WvW , PvP, and cities, and pretty much any area with a decent amont of other playes noticing constant 30fps and below ratings. Also Notcied cpu running at 100% pretty much all the time and and GPU running on average of 30%. Im not a professional but im pretty sure my cpu is bottlenecking my GPU which is what i was afraid of when I bought the new GPU and not a CPU as well. Can anyone help me confirm this and suggest a good Processor to upgrade to and won’t have to upgrade again for awhile. I head i5 is the way to go but that means new motherboard and RAM for me. Any help appreciated. Thanks
