Random stutters happen, but I don't see any FPS drops once I've found the best overclock.
Random stutters happen, but I don't see any FPS drops once I've found the best overclock.
Hey guys, so I was overloading my computer yesterday for about 8 hours straight. I was testing and playing games to see how it held up. At some point, the game started stuttering really hard without slowing down at all on frames per second. It makes it impossible to play and even turning everything back to normal speed didn't help much with the lagging. The problem is still there too. After I overloaded again to a stable and safe setting that I know works well, things were slightly better but still unplayable. Now I think maybe I broke something inside my PC because now I hear loud electrical noise in my computer when it's starting up or loading. I really don't know what to do about this anymore... Specs: Intel Core i7 6700k overclocked to 4.5 gigahertz with a 700-watt power supply, an 80+ gold rating, and the 2080 Ti graphics card with 32 gigs of RAM running at 2133 MHz. The motherboard is a Z170 Pro Carbon, I have two 1TB SSD drives and one 1TB hard drive. Any tips or help would be super appreciated right now!
Try running your 2080ti on default settings. You should figure out what's making that electrical buzzing sound. It probably sounds like a wire humming in the background.
I thought the problem was my graphics card, but everything has been working fine on stock settings before. I'm going to swap out some parts over the weekend if I get a chance. I'm worried that my motherboard can't give enough power anymore and I accidentally broke it while overclocking this long time ago.
I noticed my PC is taking a long time to turn on. I'm pretty sure the graphics cards aren't the problem, though maybe I damaged my RAM or the CPU? It's only happening with Battlefield 1 and Modern Warfare too, but honestly, I don't know how I broke it this way.
Test the RAM or CPU first without tweaking anything to see if it's really broken. Only if that doesn't work, then try setting up an overclock for the processor before trying the memory again.
I tried everything: changing the stock CPU, putting a small amount of overclocking on just the chip, putting it in the RAM, using high power over both, and sticking to high power only. I still don't know what could have caused this problem right now.
My biggest worry is the electrical noise. Have you got HWiNFO up and running? I need to know what the voltage numbers, VRM temperatures, and so on are showing.
