Low fps in game

[noWays]

Hello guys, i've been facing this problem for a while, i don't know what to do.

Here's my cpu: http://imgur.com/a/7CHpo
That's my motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LM_LEUSB3/

Did it happen all of a sudden or from the installation of the game? Also, what is your GPU, RAM and PSU?

 

[noWays]

This is happend since i've builded the new pc. Geforce GTX 960 4 gb, 8 gb ram

 

[dotas1]

What game is that and do you consider as low fps?

 

[noWays]

League of legends, 100 fps, drop to 20, even 17 in fights

 

[dotas1]

do you have any thermal issues? Check hwmonitor while you gaming and see if you notice any thermal throttle

 

[noWays]

Which are the standards ?

Dude youre running a 125w cpu on a 95w motherboard, im surprised its even booted to windows. Check the cpu support list for your board, the 8350 isn't even on there

Your low fps is because your motherboard is getting too hot and throttling hard. I would suggest replacing the cpu motherboard and ram with something more modern ASAP

I've made an edit, placed the wrong motherboard
This one is mine, says that works with fx8350 https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LM_LEUSB3/

My guess is its still throttling. You can confirm this yourself by downloading hwinfo64 and running it alongside a game. If your cpu clock speed drops at the same time the fps drops happen, its the board throttling

Assuming it is, you can either swap the 8350 for a 95w cpu like the 8320e, or replace the motherboard for something like this: https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813131873?nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-Skimlinks-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3987228&SID=1402X558040Xc018a964cc14bd8e670534abb8ac82ff

I actually think swapping the cpu is quicker, easier and probably cheaper.

 

[noWays]

I will try what you said.
Why is cheaper to replace cpu instead of board ?

I've tested with hwinfo64, indeed... while my fps are going down, cpu clock speed too.

 

[dotas1]

He said it's quicker and easier which is because you won't have to swap everything on the new mobo and you will need an afternoon to swap mobos. The cheaper part is depended on which cpu you will choose. That's why he said probably.

 

[LucoTF]

Just confirm that throttling is the issue first, from memory it will drop to 1.4ghz if its throttling.

Cpu swap is a 5 minute job, motherboard swap often needs a full windows reinstall. You should be able to get most of the cost of the cpu back by selling the 8350

 

[noWays]

Yes, is droping from 4.0 to 1.4 constantly

 

[LucoTF]

Ok good, now you know what the problem is so we just need to fix it

Its really up to you what you do next. You have 3 fixes available

1/ new 95w cpu (like the fx 6300 or 8320e)
2/ new motherboard like the one i linked earlier
3/ new mobo cpu and ram

Option 3, the cheapest i could recommend would be a pentium g4560 / b250 board and 8gb ddr4 - this would cost around $180.

I don't think any of them are a bad choice, it depends on you, your budget and your time really

 

[noWays]

Ok, i want new mobo, but you said down, at 3) that i need new mobo and ram, why ?

 

[LucoTF]

Because the newest cpus use ddr4, not ddr3. If you bought a new cpu and board you would not be able to reuse your ddr3

 

[noWays]

I want only that board you've picked. I can afford her in few days

 

[LucoTF]

If you have a slightly higher budget you can get something even better like the gigabyte ud3 for $100:

You could even have a good go at overclocking with this one

 

[LucoTF]

Check back when you have the money together and we'll find the best deal on the day

 

[noWays]

Don't really have so much money and the board you show in first place, is on -22% cost

This one is the second mobo which you recommand ? http://www.220volt.ro/Gigabyte+970A-UD3

 

[LucoTF]

Its fine, the cheaper asus board will still happily run your fx at stock 4ghz settings, which is going to be a big improvement for you

 

[noWays]

I will be able to play a game, stream, record and listen music ?

What do you think about this one ? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/

 

[LucoTF]

Great board, but surely way over budget?

 

[noWays]

I ordered this one: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/
Hope will come tomorrow
