Hi, I'm currently running CPU:i7-4790k MB:ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII RANGER GPU:ASUS 970 STRIX Kingston HyperX 4x2 DDR3 CL9 1600Mhz RAM (8GB in total that is) Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 240 GB 2TB Barracuda Processor cooling unit: Noctua NH-U9B PSU:80+ gold g550W Case: Silencio 550, with two fans that came with it, and one Noctua NF-S12B fan. Also weird thing with my 970 is that it's idle temps are 45-55C, so the STRIX fanless mode is basically never on. So, I have two questions. 1) How come my system can't get stable 60FPS on Ultra in Warframe, where my friend who's playing it off of HDD can cap it 60 FPS Ultra with nearly the same setup but with GTX 770. Additional info, I run it Borderless windowed whilst he runs it in fullscreen. I've tried the differences between fullscreen and windowed, no difference on my system. I have it around 60-45 FPS usually. The weird thing is also that sometimes FPS will stay nicely at 60FPS whilst sometimes when I start the game it instantly dips to 45. Same goes with Planetside 2, even though he said that he's getting some dips under 60, but mostly 60. Any ideas regarding this question? 2) My second question is a bit easier though, I'm planning on buying Asus Essence STX II (not the 7.1 version), do you think that my PSU will run my system after getting the soundcard? Thank you in advance everyone.

Check your settings in the game and the Nvidia control panel to disable V-Sync. Also, it's Warframe—this game slows down when you're looking at Syandana.

Overclocking seems to have little impact, and Warframe appears well-optimized rather than bug-free. I wouldn't claim lag just by looking at Syandana, especially with all my Warframes, badges, and upgrades. My friend suggests the problem might be related to RAM, which aligns with his advice about needing multiple sticks for i7 hyperthreading.

I have never heard that one before. Hyperthreading is just more threads? You shouldn't need 8 threads for most games anyway. Do a RAM test if you want but there's no evidence of bad RAM from low fps. Can you take a pic of the inside of your pc?

Hyperthreading isn't related to the quantity of RAM sticks. Although it's accurate that most contemporary CPUs can communicate with multiple RAM modules at once to boost speed, this isn't the concept of HyperThreading. It refers to each CPU core handling two distinct software threads at the same time, allowing it to process instructions more effectively.

Sorry that it took a while, I'm still getting used to the way how forums work. Here's a quick look at the insides http://imgur.com/FHmpNlh

It's essentially what I believed too.

It's likely the fan is overheating because of dust buildup.

It wasn't dusty—it was spinning. I attempted to send a brief photo, but I didn't power down the system.

Ensure your front fans are properly connected and think about moving them so the Noctua blows across your GPU. Your idle temperatures are acceptable, but if they're slightly high it might be about airflow. Ask a friend about their game settings and try running yours at the same configuration to compare results. Avoid seeking technical guidance from them.
