Question PC under performing

[YaboyBob]

Specs:
CPU: AMD Fx 8350
GPU: GTX 1050 TI
Ram: 16GB DDR3
Motherboard: Asrock 970 M Pro3

I bought this PC from amazon 2 months ago i started trying out playing some games for example resident evil 2 where my fps was at 20 fps on medium settings when its supposed to be at least 60 fps so i started researching and did some benchmarks and saw the my CPU was really under performing.

So does anyone know why my PC is under performing?

According to those User benchmark benchmarks, whole computer is under-perfoming but it's also at minimum requirements for that game. Best you can do is to make sure your Windows are clean, you have all best drivers installed and lower down game settings.

probably vrms overheating and the cpu is thermally throttling. What cooler are you using? Guess it's the amd cooler. What resolution, gfx settings, 1050 isn't the most powerful gtx anyway and what psu make model and wattage ? What speed is the memory, not that it makes a huge difference on fx gaming.

Do you monitor temps with hwinfo64? Also the board is not one really recommended for an 8350. Two things you might be able to try immediately to see if it stabilizes temps. 1)add a fan to huff directly on the rather dinky vrm heat sink 2)simply switch off 2 or 4 cores in the bios. Counter intuitive but the game probably only uses 2 threads but it will reduce the cpu power consumption and temps.

This is also weird

16GB DIMM DDR3 800 MHz clocked @ 400 MHz

Never seen that before, memory running at half speed for some reason, what's the make and model of dimms, what's it set to in the bios is it on the qvl for the board, might be by chance that you selected a brand of memory that happens to be less compatible with your board.

You can also run memtest86 to check it for errors. It needs to be on a bootable usb. Basically a bunch of problems, weak 4+1 power phase on the vrms, sounds like it's all mismatched hardware.

This is my PC but the only difference is the one i got had a fx 8350 and it uses a cooler master fan.

 

[DavidM012]

Well the memory is running at 1/2 speed when did you buy it shock awful price at $899 dollars you could build a brand new ryzen 2700x system for that easily send it back rubbish.

 

[YaboyBob]

I bought it 2 months ago.

 

[DavidM012]

send it back now!

 

[YaboyBob]

well ill try but if i cant return it is there any other reason for why the pc is under performing other than the parts being mismatched and is there a way i can fix that?

 

[YaboyBob]

And i cant build a PC for reasons so do you have a recommendation of another PC i can get from amazon for the same price or less.

 

[DavidM012]

They mega rip you off complain to every consumer organization if they give you any shirt. Don't defend it, it's a blatant rip off. You obviously know nothing about pc's the fx is obsolete dead and the pc isn't working even according to it's specification and the price is enough to build ryzen pc x 3. It's like getting a ford escort for the price of a mercedes.

 

[YaboyBob]

So is there a way i can fix these problems for now without buying a new PC?

 

[DavidM012]

You're nuts if you don't send it back mate. Ok gentle persuasion 😵 I will get a refund and build an awesome new pc when zen 3 is released in a couple of months!

 

[YaboyBob]

well i dont think i can.

 

[DavidM012]

You cannot escape your destiny! You must face Darth Amazon again.

 

[YaboyBob]

well i just checked and they said since its been too long i cant return it back so do you know of any way that i can do to my PC to try to fix it a bit?

 

[DavidM012]

shove it up their *rses with a stick of dynamite. or \o/ stick 'em up gimme all your money!

 

[YaboyBob]

i tried but they said since i live very far away from america and that its been 2 months its impossible for me to return it now so no all i can do is deal with my PC and try to fix it.

 

[DavidM012]

Nothing springs to mind hey if they can walk away with all your money I might give it a go. \o/ hands up!

 

[YaboyBob]

nah thanks ill check some ways to return it well thanks for your help.

 

[DavidM012]

May the force be with you.

You should have done some research. You were ripped off. Any AM3+ motherboard with the 760G chipset is the absolute bottom of the barrel. You need a good 990FX board to run a FX 8 core cpu.

 

[Andrew1964]

check your settings in bios see if bios is up to date

Incorrect, the board is a 970 Board which SHOULD run an 8350. However plenty of manufacturers made 970 boards with junk 4+1 VRMs, this being one of them. I agree 8 core FX chips have no business on a 760G, but also no business on a 970 with 4+1.

I don't see any way this system won't have problems without putting a cooling fan blowing direct on the VRMs. Then maybe it will work right.
