Question I7-3770 slows computer

[JoshDavis1210]

I installed my new CPU just today and when I booted it up I immediately got smacked across the face with slower results and underperforming in nearly every aspect.

I do not know what the real issue is and so I came here to for assistance.

My specs as follows:
Mobo: GA-B75M-D3V
CPU: I7-3770 (3.40 GHz)
Windows 10 (64 bit)
GPU: NIVIDIA GeForce GT 1030
2 Monitors (hooked to GPU)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16000 2x8 GB

Help please?

what was the old CPU?
results from where?

If you are comparing it to other 3770k results its not a surprise.

Its hampered by the B75 chipset. And if you are running graphics benchmarks its hampered by the 1030

If you are comparing it to another ivy bridge / sandy bridge you previously had, then i would say something else is wrong. Did you check the xmp profile for the memory was being used?

Also let ok at cpu z and run intel validator on it.

Im still rocking a 3770k @ 4.4Ghz. And with a rx580 it can still rock high frame rates at 1080p and reasonable frame rates @ 1440p with some details turned down.

‘‘Twas an i3 core, numbers a little hard to remember

No clue what’s the xmp profile is, cpu z and intel validator I will also need help on.

Youll have to go into bios and make sure memory speed is running at spec (xmp profile). Sometimes when you install ew hardware the bios will reset to safe (slow) defaults.

Just google cpu z and intel validator program. Some work youll have to do on your own

So I was able to use cpu-z and got this as a result: https://valid.x86.fr/57lztp

I don't know where to go from here.

Well 800hmz is a problem now isnt it?

Its possible your heatsink is not seated properly and its throttling? Did you give us the idle temps?

 

[JoshDavis1210]

fixed it, it was a generation 3 core... whoops.

You mean an i3?

 

[JoshDavis1210]

You mean an i3?

No no, it's an i7, but it's a Generation 3 i7... meaning it was worse when I actually found out my i3 is a Gen 5

 

[digitalgriffin]

No no, it's an i7, but it's a Generation 3 i7... meaning it was worse when I actually found out my i3 is a Gen 5

The motherboards shouldnt be inter compatible. And your i7 speeds were way too low. An i7 should beat out an i3 5th/3rd gen or not.

 

[rodrigoxm49]

What you mean with "slower performance"? What games or programs have you tested to say it?

 

[InvalidError]

No no, it's an i7, but it's a Generation 3 i7... meaning it was worse when I actually found out my i3 is a Gen 5

Gen 5 would be Broadwell (requires 90-series chipset) and that wouldn't work on 70-series motherboards, sockets would also be different, LGA1150 instead of LGA1155.

The most obvious reason for an i7 to severely under-perform would be thermal throttling, so you may want to start with checking core temperatures using HWInfo or other similar tool on your secondary display while doing somewhat CPU-intensive stuff. Temperature should max out around 80C with a properly mounted stock HSF.

 

[JoshDavis1210]

I appreciate the help and skepticism, but talk with my father (who has a good hand in computer hardware) had told me the issue, saying that I simply got a bad core.

Eitherway, I am planning to get a new motherboard (being 7 years old) with a CPU fitted for it that will be peer viewed with my father so that I know what I am doing, thanks for the help though.

Very low and bad explained problem... You can't expect someone to solve the problem by saying my cpu is slow /end
