[SOLVED] I7-3770k isn't performing correctly?

[dnovito]

I recently upgraded from a i5-3470 to a i7-3770k and was hoping for some better results in order to play games. So far I've only seen average increases of ~10 fps, with some games like Rainbow Six: Seige performing about the same or even worse. (~80-90 fps avg with very consistent drops & stuttering) I don't know if this is an issue, or if this is the performance I should be getting from my processor. But what drives me to believe that this is a issue is the fact that I ran the User Benchmark program to determine if my cpu was performing at the speed it should and received at first a 55% then a 65% percentile. The main question is, should I return it and get a i5-2500k and a nicer case or is there a possible way too "fix"/make my cpu perform better?

Also I don't know if this is my own ignorance or not but the i7-3370k is a 4 core 8 thread processor but it only says 4 cores 4 logical processors (which I think are threads right?) and I don't know if I need to enable HT for this or if this is an issue. And I don't know if this has anything to do with the performance or not.

Thanks

[InvalidError]

If Task Manager shows only four threads, then HT is disabled somewhere (BIOS, msconfig core limit, maybe elsewhere) and you can confirm this by setting CPU graph to per-core display. Four graphs = HT disabled.

With HT disabled, the i7 is little more than a slightly faster i5 and you should get slightly higher benchmark results. With HT enabled, some games perform better, others perform somewhat worse so you can expect a mixed bag there.

Yep! All set now, thank you.
