FPS Drops in Several Games, Please Help!

[ErieTheOwl]

My Computer has lag spikes in different games, For Example Black ops 3 has around 80-100 fps low settings and it drops to 20 for like 20 seconds randomly, same for games like Far Cry 4 and CS:GO, I've tried alot to fix it, drivers are up to date, Cleaned my pc, scanned for virusses and malware. I think its maybe a overheating problem since yesterday my pc shut itself down without a warning my CPU and Motherboard are around 81 Degrees in Black ops 3

Well as for black ops 3 that dropping in framerate is normall,but not for so long... because it is a poorly ported pc game. Seems you are right that this is an overheating issue. 81 degress is to high for Just playing a game in my opinion

What shall I do to fix the Overheating problem, I already cleaned my pc from dust and thermal paste on the proccesor is like 3 months old, Any ''Cheap'' Tips?

power supply?

power supply?

Im pretty sure (if I checked it correcttly) I got a Antec VPF Series 450W Power Supply

i think its your mobo and processor - your mobo is kinda weak for your processor so i think your proc is under performing. then also your temp problems also contribute to the fps drops.

So to get a stable good fps in most games your suggest that I get a new motherboard and maybe some more cooling?
Which motherboard should I get that is strong enough for my Processor? (As cheap as possible )

gigabyte 970a ds3p would be the best cheapest choice for me, then get a hyper 212x or 212 evo

with these components you can easily overclock your proc to a good 4.5ghz

Sorry if I sound soo stupid, I've looked up those components and there indeed a cheap option, but you said something about overclocking, I now a little bit what it is in the way that you make your CPU go faster but how do I do it? does it overclock automaticly or do I need to turn it on etc.

 

[Sig2525]

you do it manually. there are a lot of guides out there. but you could try not overclocking it 1st and see if the frame drops will be eliminated and if you are satisfied with the performance.

My dad has a ASRock B85 Killer Motherboard is that one strong enough for my Processor?

 

[st3v30]

That one is for Intel not AMD.
Give us link from where you buy your PC stuff and your budget so we will pick you something.
Doing mild overclock to lets say 4.3 Ghz on FX 6300 is rly easy.
Disable power saving options, set Multiplier to 21.5 for total 200(Bus Speed) x 21,5 Multiplier = 4300 Mhz and all you have to now is to bump CPU Voltage to get it stable.You can even leave it on auto for mobo to do it.You will have a bit higher temp just a bit and it will work without problems.
Good coolers for mild overclock are CM EVO 212 and CM TX3, Rajintek Aidos and Themis and CRYORIG H7.
Any of those will keep temps in check at safe level with much much less noise.

b85 is for intel 4th gen processors. you would need am3+ like 970 or 990fx mobos.

My dad has the Intelcore i5 4460 3,20GHz, if I use his motherboard and Processor should that be fine?

 

[Sig2525]

yeah - it would be considered an upgrade since the 4460 is of a tier 1 processor. try it out and feel the difference.

You will need to reinstall Windows when you switch Motherboard.
If you can get Win10,for me it made nice performance boost across all applications and games.BF4 is the most affected and boost was huge.

Do you really need to, since I dont like doing that and re-installing all my games etc. and win10 is a bit too expensive to buy.

 

[st3v30]

You you will need to.
You dont need to buy Win10 but you will need to reinstall windows.
You can get Win10 1st year free.

I got a cracked win 7 cd-key ill use to re-install windows when I get the new motherboard

 

[Sig2525]

yep you need to reformat your hdd if you plan on changing to intel if you wont you will get infinite blue screen. just install that windows 7 then upgrade to windows 10 and install drivers.
