I’ve been having a lot of stuttering issues with my games lately so I went to Best Buy to ask some questions about what could be wrong. Most people I talk with at Best Buy don’t seem to know much more than me but I was able to find someone who sounded pretty knowledgeable about building PCs.
I shows him my rig which has an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x CPU, 16GB Ram, and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Graphics card. He was quick to point out that my CPU was basically trash and he couldn’t believe someone had that built in there. I didn’t know anything about PC hardware at all when I purchased my prebuilt but I did a good amount of research on what was a good starter PC and it led me to that choice.
So the guy recommended that I get a new cpu and see how that goes and he gives me what he thought was one of the best options. He wasn’t even trying to make a sale as the store didn’t have this particular CPU and he pointed me towards Amazon as they had a sale on a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8 core. It was a bit pricey but he promised results. I watched plenty of videos about the installation and I updated the Motherboards BIOS before switching them out, applied thermal paste accordingly, and when I booted up the PC, everything ran terribly slow. Without any game running my cpu temperature was 90 degrees C, and just booting up a main menu on COD ramped it up to 105 degrees C. Everything ran so terribly that I couldn’t hardly navigate the menu let alone play a game.
So I took that CPU out and put my old one in and it is running much better than the new one did but my game seem to stutter a bit more even but my temp only ever got to 65 to 70 degrees C when playing in game.
I hope someone can help me because I’m lost.
