Hi, I cleaned up the case, which helped the temperatures somewhat. When using a termografisk measurement tool I am reading some 50 degrees + on the back side of the mobo. CPU Temperatures at emote normal. It has been interesting to dig into this and as I have long been thinking of a new rig, I...

Ran the Processor Diagnostic tool. It passed on all standard items. I have also checked that fans. etc. were clean and running. All good. I had also reduced to standard clock prior to running diagnostics and have observed that temeperatures dropped to around 87/90 degrees when idling. When...

Thanks for your input. I did that already two days ago with a clean slate. Again , thanks for caring.

Thanks for your fast response stdragon I'll check out the tool tomorrow and get back to you. To geofelt Ad an old auditor I always try to make as many facts available as possible and there does not appear to be any facility to load up a log.txt file. The PC is several years old but has not...

After the latest WIN 10 upgrade of 1803, where I am now running on build 17134.228 I am experiencing that my cores are running at 100 degrees C in idle mode without me starting any programs. (I usually run PR3Dv4 Flight Simulator s my main program) I can see that there are apparently a number...

Hi Why-Wolf, Now that's what I call a responsible answer.... It is also the reason I mentioned that I had an offer from my IT dealer - or should I say pusher ;0)) I have the abovementioned PC with the below specs: It was supposedly the top GPU 5/6 years ago for FSX and I have added a GTX...

I am looking to upgrade the above CPU/Motherboard and my local IT pusher is recommending: a MSI B360M Gaming plus micro ATX with a i5 8600K/3.6 GHz Processor with a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO 92mm cooler. RAM would be 16bg HyperX fury DDR4 - 2666MHz CL16. I would be primarily using the new PC...

Hi Karadjgne, Your analysis is correct and confirms that I have an upgrade route for my PC should that be necessary. I originally bought the PC second hand for €200 specifically for FSX and have upgraded from 8GB RAM to 16GB, exchanged the GTX680 to the GTX 1060 6GB (OC'ed by using MSI...

Thanks for getting back to me. I did revisit the XMP/RAM settings and brought the RAM down to 1600, which did improve the baseline performance a couple of percent. Looking at the Z87/Z97 motherboard options I don't really see much improvement even if I move up to a MSI Z87 with a i5 4790 which...

I recently carried out a UserBenchmark analysis of my rig where I got the below evaluation of my rig: Kingston HyperX DDR3 1866 C9 2x8GB 2,184 User benchmarks, average bench 57% 2 of 2 slots used 16GB DIMM DDR3 clocked @ 1600 MHz Performing way below expectations (11th percentile) My CPU is...
