should i buy a new mother board

[joec_10]

Should I Get a gigabyte ud3 for 130 bucks in re install windows or just buy a new case with Fans and a new psu? right now im using a MSI 760 gm in would love the upgrade but not sure if ill get right temp readings


right now my temps are like
TMPIN0 20 c
TMPIN1 36c i think which is north bridge
TMPIN2 25c
Video card 29c
hard drive 32c

My game set up
AMD fx4100
radeon 7770
seagate 1t hard drive 62mb
msi 760gm p23
Crosair 430 wat psu

Your temps are fine, and mb bottleneck is so rare that i doubt you are having that issue, the only thing i would do is change the PSU to a 550w certified one for future upgrades, but other than that your rig is fine how it is (unless any part is giving you troubles in gaming performance...?)

will right now i play Wow i get any wear from 19fps to like 200 fps but my video card temp reaches like 55c 60c while questing

do you recommend a power supply

If you are not getting over 80ºC everything is fine, now i would recommend a power supply for future upgrades, but if right now it's working why change it? we must also consider you have a Corsair PSU, good quality...now if you want further testing, download CPU-Z and GPU-Z so you can see if your rig, when pushed to the limit, delivers what it should deliver (clock and all that) you could post screenshots of the sensors while gaming so i can see if everything is working 100%

i think getting a Full Modular psu would do the trick it would allow for more air flow in the case in that means better cooling on the cpu video card I can tell you my load temps which is like 30c tmp0 tem1 45c temp2 is like 32-34c max load i seen on video card is like 60c

Alright, if you wish is always good to change to another PSU and get a better case, but for the problem at hand (motherboard) if you don't think you're bottlenecking anything, there is no need to change it, what i was asking for were the clock and memory readings while gaming, the temps don't tell much about anything, now if you feel your system is delivering, well then the answer is clear, no need for another mobo

will the problem is im under clock to 2500 ghz instead of 3800 mhz due to over heating issue in that might be the case of a weak power supply. I dropped the case in added a 750 wat Full Modular psu in some new fans with higher CFM

 

[Remixex]

Wow i've never heard of that issue, i got an fx 6300 and with a 450w horrible PSU it was throwing me 3,8 GHz no problems, my mobo is a piece of crap too, are those (2,5 GHz) the idle clock frequencies? or the actual gaming frequencies?

 

[joec_10]

first temps are iddle at 2500 in second temps are at load

 

[Remixex]

Holy...then something is bottlenecking your CPU (this is when i would like to hear someone else's opinion please...) if you ask me it may actually be the motherboard, the PSU is to blame for system instability, but bottleneck? if it couln't deliver any more power your PC would just shut down, not give you lower clock or less performance...

 

[joec_10]

will i can still play for hours at 3800 with out a problem I just dont like seeing the temps reach 55c or even 40 c

"According to AMD themselves, The FX-4XXX & FX-6XXX have a max core temp(the temperature at core lvl, not motherboard CPU level) of 71C. FX-8XXX has a max core temp of 61C."

im quoting another site, if your temps are 70C or under then they are OK nothing you should worry about, and i think i didn't understand the clock problem...pay me no mind with the answer i gave before this one

 

[joec_10]

alright will i think im just getting a better psu in some fans with higher cfm for better air flow through my case My current cpu is blocking most of the air flow from circulating because of bulky wiring
