Question LOW FPS- CPU UPGRADE???

[Zixtah]

Hi guys. So I am 100% getting lower fps in almost all games than I should be I feel

i5 10400f
32GB ram
3060ti founders edition
2.2 SSD 1TB
650W
1TB HDD

I was looking at upgrading my cpu to an i9 but everyone else seems to say that it shouldn’t need upgrading

Run userbenchmark and share the public link to the results.

Can you share the link to the results, it gives more information. Immediately though it looks like your RAM is running at stock speed and not 3600mhz. Turn on XMP in the BIoS.

And now when I enable XMP I get an over locking failed message when rebooting?

Is the RAM in the correct slots for when running 2 dimms per motherboard instructions? Usually A2 & B2.

UB also says your Windows is installed on your HDD and not the SSD. That is something to change.

Several things:

1. Your computer has been up for 2.6 days, unless you need it running all the time you should restart/shut down occasionally. You have higher than ideal for idle Background CPU usage. You should restart and then rerun the benchmark.
2. Your OS drive is a HDD
3. Your memory is rubbing at 2133, you need to enable XMP, if it fails select a lower profile until you find a stable settings.
4. What case and CPU cooler are you running?

For some reason when I shut down my PC it goes into a mode where the power button is still lit. Kind of like a sleep mode for some reason. But the fps issue isn’t exclusive to recently. I have now enabled xmp and it has boosted my fps quite a bit I won’t lie. I also cleaned the pc also.. I just need to switch my OS to ssd now
