Extreme stuttering combined with fx-8350
Extreme stuttering combined with fx-8350
Hey there, I've been browsing old forums in search of a solution for this problem but haven't found much help. My system details are: CPU is an FX-8350 with stock speeds, motherboard is Gigabyte GA 970-Gaming (factory reset BIOS), two DDR3 RAM sticks at 16GB, 1333MHz, only one currently installed, and a Rx480 GPU. The power supply is a Thermaltake 500W 80+ Bronze model from Micro Center. I'm running Windows 10 Home. This build is quite old—it's a secondary setup for when I'm not at home. When I play games, I mainly test CS2, which suffers from serious stuttering. The frame rate drops from 4.0 to just 1.3 and the clocks get way too slow. I've tried several tweaks: setting Quiet n Cool in BIOS, enabling HPM, switching Windows performance mode, and adjusting overclock settings. Some forum users mentioned their VRM might be the culprit, but my VRM has a decent heat sink and the CPU stays under 70°C even when stressed. I don't think throttling is the issue since it still runs smoothly with the side panel open and all throttling disabled (Quiet n Cool + HPM). Any suggestions or insights would be really helpful. I plan to replace the RAM eventually, but I'm a bit worried about the motherboard affecting it.
70C is the problem. The CPU is really hot and it's old—it can't handle temperatures above 61°C. I need an aftermarket cooler that supports at least 150 TDP or more right away, or at least 125 TDP. Right now I'm keeping the CPU at 4.0 GHz to bring the temps down a bit more.
Just any affordable brand around $30 or $25 works well, like Cooler Master. The Hyper EVO 212 was popular for a long time. I’m not sure what level of noise you prefer. Noctua also offers solid options. "Be quiet" is another strong choice. However, you might need to use older CPU coolers because the FX series uses AM3+, which is quite old. Many people resort to 3D printed mounts to fit newer models into the AM3 slot. You could also find used AM3+ coolers on sites like eBay. Sometimes you’ll have to build your own setup with DIY modifications to get the cooler properly seated. Remember, a CPU cooler just needs tension and screws to secure the CPU in place. You might need a custom bracket or print it yourself to fit the right size.
Was das Gehäuse tatsächlich ein Problem mit dem Sensor hatte? Die 60C-Lesungen waren dann falsch, nämlich 90C, und es reagierte dadurch verlangsamt. Ein Kühlermodul wäre sinnvoll, denn der Standardkühlkörper reichte nicht. Außerdem läuft es bei einer übertrieben hohen Spannung – man sollte die Spannung herunterregeln. Die Beleuchtung schickt es sogar mit 1,5V, während andere Chips bei normalen Geschwindigkeiten bei etwa 1,25V funktionieren. Das Problem lag vor den fehlerhaften Produktionen, die nur über 1,4V arbeiteten; AMD hat den Herstellern gesagt, die Spannung anzupassen, damit solche Chips funktionieren konnten. Und dann gab es das Gerücht über die falsche Angabe der Chipanzahl – FX war damit eine der schlechtesten Konfigurationen überhaupt.
