Question Chipsets?

[Nonkii]

One quick question since nobody wants to answer my other post.Do chipset drivers actually improve performance.Someone told me this:
“Chipset drivers shouldn’t be touched no, those are the drivers for your motherboard. Unless you are installing some new hardware like a new cpu or gpu that requires a higher version of your motherboard then you will need to update it. In this case no don’t touch it your computer is already operating fine.”
So what do you guys get from that?

My idle is like at 34-38

 

[hftvhftv]

Oh.Just woke up.Dont know how im going to be check the temp on idle.Just going to test it when Im gaming

You can also check the idle temp in your UEFI BIOS by pressing delete on startup/F2/F12.

 

[Nonkii]

Yeah.Thats how I checked now going to check my temp while gaming.

 

[Nonkii]

Gotta update my game right now since theres a new season.If you dont mind waiting.

 

[boju]

Ohhh bloody hell hurray up

Kidding lol there's no hurry

 

[Nonkii]

Ok.Lmao.Had to take a 2 hr extra sleep since I didint sleep that much.And i am about to leave but updating my game then Im downloading aftetburner

 

[boju]

Yeah no worries. Ill be off to bed soon 2am here. Ill check back in the morning.

Check cpu/gpu temps, speed, ram usage, anything msi afterburner offers in osd overlay and take a screenshot and upload it with imgur or similar.

Cpu goes from like 44 to 72-77

 

[Nonkii]

My usage goes like that.My temps are at 41 celcius
Edit:The usage os incorrect.Im in task manager and my cpu usage is at 57-60

 

[Nonkii]

I also have that much cpu usage because I put the priority of fortnite in high

 

[boju]

Cpu usage is fine. Temps look ok too, make sure the readings are when you have stutters.

Ill check back tomorrow

 

[Nonkii]

When the stuttering happened the cpu usage was normal.And also the temp.Like at 61

 

[Nonkii]

It can possibly be the game or a malware.But my pc is not running slow.Going to run an msi benchmark test
Edit:And the Fortnite update is garbage.Everybody is arguing about fps drops and stutters.So now my drops get worse.

For AMD Ryzen systems you want to make sure you are on the latest Windows 10 build 1903 build for Ryzen optimizations and that you download the latest chipset drivers from this site:
https://www.amd.com/en/support

For the following reason:

[Nonkii]

Yeah but idk what chipset I got.I know I have an amd but I dont know the version and the series.And if I do something wrong with the chipset can I brick my pc?

 

[Nonkii]

And I also have and amd ryzen power plan.But idk if its that helpful because I got High Performance on my power plan

 

[SgtScream]

If you already have the Ryzen power plan than you have the latest chipset. Thread closed.

 

[Nonkii]

Oh ok.I sont have latest windows version.Got 1809

 

[Nonkii]

Is the windows update worth it?

Think it's best to do a clean install of the latest Win 10 build then. We'll start fresh and go from there.

It's easy to do and won't need a serial key, Win10 activate again once online.

Instructions how to use media creation tool and install Win10.

Another alternative is download iso (May 2019) and use Rufus to mount iso and configure usb.

Iso:

Rufus:

Rufus is a small application that creates bootable USB drives, which can then be used to install or run Microsoft Windows, Linux or DOS. In just a few minutes, and with very few clicks, Rufus can help you run a new Operating System on your computer...

Rufus, mount iso, select partition GPT and format fat32 then click start.

Is this like installing my pc from new.Do I have ro re install my drivers?If so,i dont even know most of my drivers.I only know my gpu and bios

Yeah it's full wipe & reinstall. Drivers for motherboard Win10 will have. Only driver need to get is for the graphics card.

Either get a usb stick at least 8GB size for 64bit Windows. Or try use your external ssd. If the ssd uses usb, should work.

 

[Nonkii]

Damn.Going to check if its the game when they fix it.If its still my pc.I guess I gotta stick with it since i am not comfortable relnstalling my whole pc.

 

[boju]

In the meantime try the update anyway. I prefer fresh installs but the update might fix stuff. Who knows, Fortnite's update may be related to user's who are on the latest Win10 build.

If update doesn't work straight away, try reset this pc.
