Check cpu temp?

What games are you playing? What is your actual graphics card? Power supply, make and model?

750 ti 2gb a, 650 w, how can i see?

 

[logainofhades]

650w tells us nothing. You have to open the case and look at the label, on the PSU.

and actually, nothing goes to 100%, it just lags while i m playing, then gets back to normal
Just noticed it

it s a floston 500 extra, 500w, my bad

No bottleneck and framedrops?
Or something is bottlenecking for you in the end? Because with bottleneck, when load spikes and you have already 100% usage, you will get solid and noticable frame drop for a bit

 

[PompaGxG]

i m not sure if i have a bottleneck

the pc worked just fine for like 5-6 years, then this problem appeared

only swapped the power source, made a loud noise so i had to

 

[DimkaTsv]

Same game, same settings, only PWS is different?

 

[PompaGxG]

yes, League of Legends, CS:GO, Dayz, all of them have the same problem

Not a quality unit, at all. If previous PSU popped, and was of similar quality, it could have damaged other parts of your system.

i m not sure, the old problem was that when i was playing on the pc for a while, it started beeping, maybe just coincidence, if it s not the psu what could it be?

 

[logainofhades]

That old of a system, I would say motherboard might have been zapped. 760g boards, in general, were not very good, with regards to power delivery, and easy to kill. I killed one myself, using a low quality PSU, that died and took it and my CPU with it.

 

[PompaGxG]

so a solution would be to find other motherboard that supports my cpu, or to replace the whole pc

What might have changed since all was well?

FX-6300 is all but obsolete.

I might suspect that you are throttling, where the clock rate is lowered and the cpu usage consequently goes up.
This may be the cooler has an issue, or it may be that the motherboard vrm modules over heat.
Try taking the case covers off and direct a house fan at the innards.

Better yet, consider an upgrade.
$250 or so will buy you a i3-10100 that is considerably stronger, a lga1200 motherboard, and 16gb of ddr4 ram.
If budget permits you can go stronger.
Here is a review of the 10100:

Intel Core i3-10100 Review - Affordable 4c/8t

Intel's Core i3-10100 is the most affordable Comet Lake "Core" processor. Unlike its predecessor, it finally has HyperThreading, which brings the core configuration to 4c/8t. Our Core i3-10100 review takes a close look at how Intel's new budget offering performs against AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X.

Yea, FX in 2021, is not a good experience. Thankfully, it takes very little to vastly improve on what you have now. I would suggest getting a bit more, than an i3, and bump up to a 6c/12t i5, at the very least. Games are becoming more CPU and thread heavy. It will last you a bit longer, with future GPU upgrades.
