What problems are there with the computer?
I've been having trouble with my mouse feeling all different every single day. My games also feel super slow and shaky at times, and sometimes they work fine while other days they're totally broken and unplayable. Today I realized that only four of my eight pins on the CPU cable were connected. Maybe this was the problem? MOBO: GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO CPU: RYZEN 5 5600X GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 2060 PRO OC RAM: DDR4 3200 16GB 2x8 CL16 PSU: CORSAIR VS 550W DRIVE: M2 970EVO PLUS
Sometimes did feel better at first. But now the PC feels totally different every single time I turn it on over these months. So I'll give it a few more days to be sure! I asked just generally if this could cause any problems, but I guess the CPU might have less power, so that's definitely possible.
If you do not know your computer's settings, this is pure guesswork....many "extra" CPU power pins on the motherboard are meant for powerful CPUs or overclocking. If you have a standard i3 or i5 that isn't an overclocked K model and doesn't need extra X features, it might not even need those extra connectors. For something like this, I'd start by checking running processes in Task Manager, looking at Event Viewer/Reliability History, temps from the monitor, free space on your hard drive and other things like that. It could also be a problem with ping or internet traffic depending on what time of day you are playing. Of course, I am just making fun words while we don't know exactly what you are using (hint hint).
