Games Dropping FPS

[Nillrac]

I have recently installed a new motherboard and cpu in my computer, I am not overly experienced with replacing motherboard so it is very likely I may have done something wrong there. Basically after I wiped my hard drive, installed new drivers and all that good stuff, I began to play CS:GO. I had played a lot of the game before I installed my new parts and not once has it had a problem with playing it on the highest settings. But when I played it this time the game was all jittery. It isn't completely jittery but it isn't normal. I checked the fps with fraps and it wasn't really showing what it said it was putting out. I tried swapping to lower settings but there was no change. I tested this also in Garry's Mod and it was still there. Anyway, I have no idea why it might be dropping frames like it is so I thought I should ask the internet.

Try updating the bios on your new motherboard. Most games require the newest drivers and the newest drivers are usually compatible with the latest bios.

CPU temp?

Don't think cpu temp is problem I did the intel processor test and it wasn't over heating.

So, you're saying you have the latest drivers and bios. Ok great. Maybe it's just server related (on CS:GO's part).

I've tested other games though.

And what is the temp?

 

[Nillrac]

And what is the temp?

9 degrees below maximum. Whatever that means.

 

[Nillrac]

I believe my gpu is at fault here. It quite possibly could be something else but as I am yet to see otherwise, and have now decided to re-install my old gpu to test if it is a hardware issue.

 

[Nillrac]

CPU temp?

I apologise. As I went to replace my GPU I noticed the CPU was far hotter than it should have been. On closer inspection the wires around the fan were rubbing it making it spin slower. I assume Intel turbo boost technology saved it from overheating by lowering peformance, clever computers. Thank you again and sorry

 

[4745454b]

So it's all good now? I wasn't sure what program you were using to test it with. "throttlewatch" and real temp are supposed to tell you if your CPU is throttling. I've never used such a program as my temps/performance is fine. Glad it's fixed.
