Hi All,
I am currently having the below rig:
Processor: AMD FX 8320
Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
Graphics Card: MSI GTX 970 4G OC
RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 1600 x2 (16GB)
PSU: Seasonic 620W M12 II EVO Fully-Modular
SSD: Samsung EVO 250gb
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM
CPU Cooler: Cooler-Master Master Liquid 240
Cabinet: Antec P8 (Tempered Glass Side Panel w/ CM Universal LED Strip (Pair of Red/White))
I am facing excessive fps drops over the last 3-4 months (irrespective of settings applied to games)
Only older games (AoM, Vice City, etc) are running at optimum FPS. I tried upgrading to a new Storage and SSD combo (the ones mentioned above), the same issue when installing the game in both storage media. Also, system seems to down perform with click delays, function time outs, etc.
I believe my processor is at fault here as the default temperature i can see in MSI Afterburner is 55 degree C in idle even with the cooler installed. I have reapplied the cooling paste and still its of no avail.
I am planning to upgrade my CPU to an Intel Coffee Lake and for that I need to change my M'Board and RAM as well.
Although I am not yet ready with the financing for the upgrade up until the end of April or beginning of May, I would like some suggestion on any remedy that can be done in the meantime.
Also, I would request suggestions on CPU and motherboard combos. My color preference of (Cabinet is Red/Black/White) Only...
My upgrade plan:
Processor: Intel Core i7-8700
Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming Plus
RAM: G-Skill Trident 16GB DDR4 (2x8)
Any advice or suggestions would be highly helpful to me.
Thanks,
D'Aur0
P.S. - Sorry for the huge thread
