Hi,i have currently the M4A78LT-M motherboard with 2x 4gb ddr 1600 vengeance ram and amd 1100t be cpu,i built this system just over a year ago and have started noticing stuttering in games and flash content,my desktop also seems a little twitchy as if vsync or hz settings aren't right.
I thought it was my gtx460 graphics card but i am getting the same issue with the onboard graphics throughout everything i try to run,i have tested ram for 10 hours in memtest but found no error,i have replaced my cpu cooler with a new one zalman top flower,gave the pc a clean and added new system fan,my temps are cpu 32c idle graphics 36c idle mobo 30c idle -- cpu under full load 38c-42c - gpu under full load 58c - 62c - chipset mobo - 35c-38c
even with my stock temps,i can get into a game in seconds and the stuttering is apparent right away,temps don't jump up to high abnormally but it is like there is a constant interference that seems to drag the system down.
I have inspected the board for faults and have found a yellow/gold colour around some of the chips next to my sata sockets,these chips are not capacitors but are small square black chips that are flat on the board with a silver plate behind them however i have no idea if this is normal or not,all four of these chips have the same yellow marks around them,they do not look right to me.
I can only come to the conclusion i need to replace my motherboard,i really hope the fault is not my cpu but i have been told a faulty cpu could perform in the way described so i ask my question .....
If i replace the board,i would like to have full am3+ support and also ddr 1600 ram support for my cpu and ram but i would like to get the best possible board so i hope i do not have the same issue again but i require a micro atx board, uATX Form Factor as it's all i can fit in my antec media centre case.
Thanks and regards
Paddy
