    Setting programs with custom affinity

    Hey guys, I am running Windows 10 primarily for gaming purposes and I would like to set some of my programs to only run on a few cores. I am using an AMD FX-9590. For example, I always have Discord running in the background and would like to have that set to only use maybe 1 or 2 of my...

    AMD FX9590 & NB/HT Frequency Question

    Hey guys, So I recently got my FX-9590 running smoothly at 5Ghz 24/7 but recently clocked down to 4.7Ghz because I wasn't comfortable running the chip at 62-64C while gaming. I was just setting in my RAM timings on my G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600Mhz RAM (4x4Gb) to a stable 8-8-8-24 and it...

    AMD Chipset Drivers? (FX-9590)

    The ONLY thing I noticed this chip and my 8320 (@ 4.4ghz) doing was in HWMonitor it would show in the “Min” column that my CPU clock would (at some point when I’m gaming) drop down to anywhere between 3-4ghz. I was never able to actually see it do this, or even feel it really. The 9590 has...

    AMD Chipset Drivers? (FX-9590)

    Hey guys so I recently upgraded from an 8320 to a 9590 (and got it to run 5ghz stable FIRST try) and was just going through my computer's drivers to make sure everything was up to date and such. Then I remembered I had installed AMD Chipset Drivers from Gigabyte's motherboard last year when I...

    AMD FX-9590 upgrade questions & concerns

    Hi thank you for the reply! I understand it's only 300Mhz slower right now, but I am hoping to get the 9590 running at 5Ghz (would be an absolute miracle, I have seen people achieve this). One of the reasons I am actually getting this chip (ordered off Newegg already for $120) is because a...

    AMD FX-9590 upgrade questions & concerns

    Hi all, Thanks for taking the time to stop by my post. Hopefully I can get some info to help me move forward. I have built a handful of computers from when I was 12 years old during the AGP 8x days (ATI 9700 anyone?) and recently built a budget rig to mess around on primarily CS:GO and COD...

    GPU Bottleneck and CPU Overclock

    Hey guys, So real quick. I have an Asus 1050ti (4gb) and an overclocked AMD FX-8320 @ 4.6ghz. According to The Bottlenecker, my GPU is bottlenecking my CPU by 13%. My question is, if the GPU can't keep up with the CPU, should I be clocking down my CPU to, say, 4.0-4.2Ghz? My theory behind...
