So I've been using my pc for almost a year now which consists of:
-GTX 970
-I5 6400
-8 Gigs of ram running at 2133 mhz single channel
-128 Gig SSD
-1TB Harddrive.
Though my pc is a prebuild Acer G3-710 so a lot of parts like the mobo and powersupply and even ram doesn't have a brand of some sort. I suggest that you search for the pc to see inside yourself.
At first, my CPU temperatures has gone up. I remember that my cpu's temps was at 60c at full load and now it's at 66 on average. I'm using the stock intel cooler that the i5 comes with.
About the gpu, I didn't use any program such as MSI Afterburner because I thought that a pc designed for a "plug and play" purpose doesn't need to be checked for everything like fanspeeds, power usage, temperature etc. At msi's "auto" fanspeed configuration my gpu is running at 86c at full load. That's pretty high compared to other GPUs. But if I crank the fan speeds all the way up, the GPU's temps go down to 80c which is still pretty high.
As for the performance, a game like CS:GO ran at ~300 fps and now it barely reaches 180.
Grand Theft Auto 5 also loss a couple of frames and began to stutter heavily pretty often. Before I could turn up the MSAA at 4x and crank the graphics all the way up and get around 56-68 fps. But now with everything on very high instead of max settings and no MSAA, I can't even reach 60 fps. And then there's stuttering. The pc is stuttering in almost every single game I throw at it. In Grand Theft Auto 5 there are texture bugs which makes buildings and roads disappear. That texture bug wasn't there when I bought the pc. But the way to fix the texture bugs is to set the cpu to high priority. I didn't need to do that when I bought the pc.
The desktop icons is now reacting very slowly. By that I mean that when I hover the cursor over the icons, it takes some time for the pc to react.
The SSDs load times also jumped by a couple seconds.
Note that every part comes from an unknown manufacturer as far as I understand.
I do regret buying this pc and wished that I've build one instead. I didn't know that buying a prebuild would cause more problems than building a pc yourself. But know that I'm stuck with this pc, I thought if you guys could help me out a little? I must admit that I've maybe installed malicious files and pirated games which I shouldn't have done. (I've uninstalled the pirated games if you're wondering. I from now on fully support developers by not pirating.)
