Games Randomly Have Low Fps

[machunk714]

Last week I went on vacation for 5 days, so my PC was off for 5 days. Before vacation, I was getting constant 120+ fps on games like league. When I got back and loaded up the game, I only had 120fps when nobody was on the screen but when people entered my screen my fps went down to about 50-60fps. I tried turning down the graphics and not even that helped. I have a Geforce 1050 ti, windows 10 64bit, AMD FX6300 CPU. I played a game and monitored temps and got 57C on CPU, which is still 3 below the max safe temp, 48C on my GPU, graphics 1810 MHz, Memory 3504MHz.
Also, another game, HotS would randomly freeze for about 4 seconds about once a match or so, dont know if thats related to the problem

Could be a few things, is it hot where you live if so did you leave the room with the pc ventilated ?.
Could be maybe you need to replace the thermal paste on your cpu.
Check your drivers if they are up to date or the game cache files in steam.
Lastly maybe uninstall you drivers and reinstall them.
Last thing i could think of for problem solving maybe check windows background tasks or updates.\


If none of those work could be either your gpu is defective maybe hope not though best of luck let us know how it goes.

Ill maybe look into the cpu paste, but its not the first time its been close to 60C. I have reinstalled the most recent driver just today, and i dont play either game thru steam. I have tried file repairs but didnt find anything

Download cpuid monitor or open hardware monitor they will both show you temps voltages fan sppeds etc
might help you narrow down the issue.

If that fails you can always run prime 95 to test the cpu or valley banchmarks.

again maybe the thermal paste also check if your cpu heatsink is seated properly
maybe it got loose ?.

i read from the manufacturer that it will not throttle fps until about 62C, which was 5C more than my max yesterday
CPU has 100% on all 6 cores from utilization, at all clocks at 3860MHzish. Power is 45W, Max temp was 55C. GPU utilization is not even reaching 50% in any category. Graphics clock is at 1683MHz, Memory at 3500 MHz and .9 Voltage. Seems the CPU is the problem but its not a temp problem

Hmm it seems like the Cpu is bottle necking your Gpu but you said this wasn't happening before right ?.

I would check the heat sink for the cpu, maybe the bracket is moved a little if not you could always
re-apply some thermal paste wouldn't hurt.

That or what may be happening is maybe your cpu power socket on the motherboard may be loose or the heatsink fan cable you could check both of them as well.

Hope this helps let us know how it goes.

I reapplied thermal paste and secured the socket to the motherboard, still no fix. utilizations are still around the mid 90s, temp remains around 50, voltage swam around 45.7W, clocks stayed the same. CPU must be corrupt maybe?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from machunk714 : "CPU going bad?"

I left for vacation about a week ago and everything worked fine before then at about 100+. When i came back, i could run my games only at about 50fps when a lot of things were going on. I have an AMD FX 6300. I just updated my graphics card driver to see if that would fix it but it didnt. HWMonitor says, during the 50fps gameplay, 50C max temp, 45.7W, all 6 utilization at 98%+, clocks at/above 3800 MHz. The game specifically is league of legends so u can reference the amount of graphics and what not.
Also, Heroes of the Storm will randomly freeze about every 20-30 minutes for a few seconds

did you update GPU drivers when you got back? if so rolling back to a previous driver may help. bad drivers make their way out every once in a while.

I updated the driver after the issue thinking that was the fix, but it did not help

Sadly i think this might be your cpu thats causing the issue hopefully not but could you test another cpu
of the same family in your motherboard and see if the sme issues still occur.

The only thing I can think of doing at this point .

I found the issue. The AMD fx6300 is supposed to be at about 70-100 watts of power under stressed conditions of gaming. So does anyone know how to increase the power supply to my CPU?

Usually you are already getting power transferred from the motherboard to your processor from the 8 pin or 6 pin depending what you have on your chosen motherboard.

The only way I know of transferring more power to the processor is by overclocking it.

However it depends if you can overclock on you motherboard and usually you need custom cooling solutions to do this
like an all in one liquid cooling unit like the corsair h60.

You may have to look at the motherboards specifications and see if it can be used as an overclocking board if it cannot
i highly recommend not oveclocking on it as it could fry your system potentially.
