hey! sooo.. i'm having some issues with my cpu and i can't replace it just yet, so i'm looking for ways to work with what i've got. i'll explain the issue thoroughly further
cpu: amd FX-8350 (i know it's old )
ram: 8gb (x2) PC3-14900 DDR3 SDRAM Kingston
mobo: Asus M5A78L-M PLUS/USB3
gpu: nvidia geforce rtx 2070 gaming x
psu: ATX Ginzzu PC700 700W
my CPU under load (in a cpu-heavy game) goes to 100% usage, then drops to 30% for a few seconds, then goes back to 100% all the time. the clock speed and the voltage change accordingly, and i'm not sure what's the exact reason for the drop in performance there. the temperatures are always stable, with 57°C under 100% usage. i've found out that my cpu is throttling and that's the reason why my gpu won't even get used for more than 7% and i'm considering overclocking, but...
afaik the cpu's standard frequency is 4000 but in turbo mode it can go up to 4200. usually for me under load it stays at 4000-4100 until, of course, drops to a beautiful approx. 1800 for a few seconds. can i overclock more? should i? would it fix the unstable clock speed or fix anything, for that matter?
i turned off the cool n quiet mode, set a stable ram frequency, but the issue is still here.
under 100% cpu usage the system is running very smoothly. the game, though, is stuttering and unstable - not all of the time, however. it all looks exactly how it feels in the game - smooth gameplay until it's stuttering for a few seconds, then goes back to normal. until the next stutter, that is.
for now my best bet is that somewhere in the bios there's a limit on something that the cpu's using, the cpu tries to come back to that limit and therefore drops in clock speed and voltage resulting in a stutter.
the drops for the cpu are as follows:
1.344v => 0.879v
4118.12 MHz => 1406.19 MHz
what do you think? can i do something about this to reduce stuttering? i'm very much planning on replacing the cpu, but can't do that for now 🙁 so i would be very thankful for every piece of advice!!
