Hello,
For my first post ever I want to ask you fine folks about some optimization.
I have been tweaking settings in bios as well as within Windows itself and HAVE seen a performance increase.
History: About 1 month ago I disassembled my PC. I reapplied thermal paste to the CPU and GPU. I was having heating issues and found some deeply embedded dust in various places. The whole thing is dust free now. At this point I did a fresh install of Windows 10. COMPLETELY fresh. Uninstalled the system and all programs entirely before reinstall. About 2 weeks later I got 2 SSD's and migrated my HDD and the OS to am SSD. Boot times definitely improved. That brings me to now.
I have the following system...
MOBO - MSI 970a-G46
CPU - AMD FX 8350 Black Edition
GPU - ASUS RX 480 4GB
RAM - 12GB DDR3 XMP 1333mhz
Storage - 240GB PNY SSD x2, 500GB HDD x1
PSU - 750 W Corsair
Cooling - Stock CPU cooler, 4 additional fans
Peripherals
Corsair Void Pro Headset
Razer Mamba Chroma RGB Wireless Mouse
Razer Blackwidow Chroma Keyboard
Razer Chroma Firefly
24in Sceptre 1080p 60hz monitor
CPU - OC 4300mhz 1.4v 200x21.5
Socket temp under load 50c
Chip temp under load 45-52c
GPU - Auto OC in Radeon
Temps under load 55-60c
RAM - XMP 1333mhz
I get my CPU up to 4.4 stable easily with no overheating but dropped it to 4.3 to see if it was impacting performance being higher.
I have been running userbenchmark over and over and continuously get "Your PC is running below expectations" by a significant margin. Everything is green except GPU is yellow which is to be expected and RAM is yellow.
It says my SSD's are performing WAY below expectations. I verified trim, reformatted them, turned indexing off, turned off sysmain. Still the same. I don't get crashes or anything when stability testing. I just don't know how to get my system to perform where it should be.
I have high background CPU usage from time to time (25%) and don't know where it's coming from, but it averages around 9%.
I can attach the UBM when I get home later, but yea. Any ideas in the time being to discuss that I may or may not have tried would be great.
Thank you!
