    High Pitched Whine upon Booting

    When I turn my PC on, there is an audible high pitched whine. This lasts until windows 7 displays on the screen. Haven't had any issues with performance. Any ideas what this might be? What is the system doing when booting that might cause the noise that it isnt doing when actually up and...

    No Sound Far Cry 5 (Headphones Only)

    Also. On my system, I needed to get to the tab where you can test audio device. Where it plays the beeps through left then right speaker. Then set to default playback device cured it. Good luck dude

    No Sound Far Cry 5 (Headphones Only)

    Can you leave an mp3 (or any desktop audii) then launch fc5. Does the mp3 still play? Or does it all stop? Honestly, the first time it happened to me I was the same. Nothing seemed to work and it was frustrating af. Can you take phones from monitor or TV instead? That's what I done for a while...

    No Sound Far Cry 5 (Headphones Only)

    playback devices? Right click sound icon in bottom right tray. I have this issue - not saying yours is the same, but - i have to manually choose which output the audio goes to. For whatever reason.

    Please help me find the bottleneck.

    Core voltage and cpu freq is stable in CPU-Z. In game, look at horizon = 48fps Look at floor = 108fps I'm giving up now. Spent more time trying to get 60 fps stable than playing! I can lock it to 50 Hz display with vsync it's smooth, rarely dip below. Plus I get to crank the mxaa up as gpu...

    Please help me find the bottleneck.

    M5A99FX Pro 2.0 No, no cores surpass, say, 80%. But, mainly fluctuate between 55% and 65% - As, I said, I can get the cores to 100%, by loading the threads together by external app. So, it's not like my cpu is incapable of 100%. I mean I stress test it lots, 100% full load temps never a...

    Please help me find the bottleneck.

    I have had similar on Railway empire. Certain (once I find them, its always present) spots on the map where fps just crash for no valid reason. So, it aint temp related - its map area related. possibly number of assets shown on screen? But, then by eliminating the gpu as a bottleneck (by...

    Overclocking cpu while playing games causes pc to crash but not on idle or stress test.

    What game is causing the issue? GPU, CPU intensive etc? It sounds like a heat problem. Are you monitoring temps (HWMonitor) at all? Also, have you tried stress testing gpu and cpu at the same time? Think P95 + Heaven.

    Please help me find the bottleneck.

    Yeah. It dips to 48 fps no matter what gpu settings I choose. 800x600 lowest is the same as 1080p mix high/ultra. Always in same area of map. Where the camera points matters. Aim at horizon 48 fps. Aim at floor 140fps. Very odd behaviour. Can a RAM problem cause this sort of issue?

    Please help me find the bottleneck.

    No, socket temps are 57c and core no lore than 47c. Temps are fine and dandy. It's only in certain areas of the map.

    Gaming performance issues with decent PC

    Hello tamage. I have similar issue in gta5 with fx8370 @ 4.7. Ssd made no difference, nor is it gpu. I am testing in lowest settings and lowest resolution and the frame dips occur the same at the same map locations. It's bizarre.

    Please help me find the bottleneck.

    Fps is tanking and neither gpu nor cpu usage is anywhere close to 100% What other factors could a use such issue? It's gta5. I am eliminating gpu from test by selecting lowest possible settings with lowest 800x600 resolution. Installed on ssd. 16Gb RAM. Yet I can't surpass 48fps in certain...

    Getting low fps and frame skips on games i shouldn't be.

    What are your temps like? The FX series can normally be OC'd quite nicely. I have pushed my cinebench form 654 to way over 750 - and this has helped 'stutter' a lot. Also, make sure you have the latest gpu drivers installed. And no progs that suddenly start in the background, hogging resources?

    Games screen tearing without vsync

    bigsmilingbears has it sussed. Screen tear is caused when the GPU delivers more than one image in the time it takes for the monitor to refresh. It ends up drawing say, an image and then half of the next image on top... Although limiting to 60fps seems to be the same thing as vsync, its not...

    Vengeance 1333mhz ram overclock?

    Isnt the FX series best suited to 1866 RAM? I may be completely wrong here - as I am basing my assumption on what I know of the 8370 - but I have heard that gains over 1866 are negligable. Also, on my 8370. There is a weird ratio between HT Link/ NB Freq and RAM. HT Link and NB Frequency...
