Far Cry 3 suddenly started lagging

vikas_sharma · Apr 20, 2014

Hello my pc is :-

Intel pentium dual core 2.70ghz
4gb ddr3 ram
300w power supply
sapphire hd r7-240 1gb ddr5 overclocked to 900 and 1300 memory clock

I was getting 35-40 average fps in 1600x900 resolution on medium texture quality
but yesterday i put all component of my pc to clean it and now far cry 3 lagging only 22-28 fps :\

Why someone help plz ?

Maybe while cleaning your graphic card got detached from the motherboard and your pc must have started using the integrated graphics card.
Check your graphic card and re-insert it properly.

Gamer AshRut :

nah.. graphic card ok 1 more thing i want to tell you that i also removed my cpu yesterday to clean it so is there something happen wrong ?

Gamer AshRut · Apr 20, 2014

Nope. If your cpu sat back correctly into the socket than there is no problem.

Gamer AshRut :

Wat about thermal paste i think it's removed ?

boopbop · Apr 20, 2014

Did you not re-apply thermal paste?

Gamer AshRut · Apr 20, 2014

Even,if you think the thermal paste is removed it would never affect your gaming perfoormance.

Hi vikas_sharma
Check your running processes , you may have something else running slowing down your pc

vikas_sharma · Apr 20, 2014

boopbop :

I don't have thermal paste, also i don't know much about it and also don't know how to apply

mickypheonix :

Nah.. cpu at idle is 0-2 %

Gamer AshRut · Apr 21, 2014

Re-install the game. Copy the save file somewhere and paste it back in the folder after re-install.

Gamer AshRut :

Done still same problem, and 1 more thing i notices is that cpu temperate is now too high previously it was 35-40 degree celcius at idle now 60-70 so might be the problem right ?

And while playing far cry 3 cpu temperate is 94 degree celcius

mickypheonix · Apr 22, 2014

woaah 94 way too high , there is your problem , what cpu cooler do you have ?
check the coolers fan is working properly , perhaps check heatsink for dust buildup and blowout ,if no change in temps then shutdown and remove cooler and reapply new thermal compound , reinstall cooler on cpu run 4pin pwm from molex 12v and see if temps change ,if not get new cooler

mickypheonix :

I just removed dust and temperate is bit low when i broswe web with firefox with 3 tabs cpu temperate is 51 degree celcius so what should i do so i can play my games again as i were previously before removing cpu

mickypheonix · Apr 22, 2014

anything above 90 spells danger , you dont want to cook your cpu
51 still pretty high , if it hits 85 during gameplay pull the pin on the game , i would suggest get a better cooling solution for your cpu asap

vikas_sharma · Apr 22, 2014

mickypheonix :

1 more thing i notice is if i push cpu fan hard enough then it give me fps boost of 7-10

mickypheonix · Apr 22, 2014

because your cpu is running cooler , maybee a molex to 12v 4pin fan header will help , run your fan flat out at 12v

mickypheonix · Apr 22, 2014

not sure what board you have you may even be able to push the cpu fan flat out in bios

mickypheonix · Apr 22, 2014

check this pdf on your board , look up smart fan function , i think you can adjust cpu fan manually from there

mickypheonix :

I know about manual fan control but how to set it max speed ?

This is what i have in bios settings :-

Kekoh · Apr 22, 2014

Steps to solve:

1) PUT THERMAL PASTE ON THE CPU!!

WHY are you running your cpu without thermal paste? That is terrible. Why has no one else brought this up? One person even said it wouldn;t have an effect...

vikas_sharma · Apr 23, 2014

Kekoh :

Sorry i'm newbie in this stuff, how can i tell if thermal paste removed from cpu ?

mickypheonix · Apr 23, 2014

i did mention reapply thermal compound in the chosen answer

vikas_sharma · Apr 23, 2014

mickypheonix :

I've booked this one http://www.ebay.in/itm/Cooler-Master-IC-Value-V1-Thermal-Compound-Grease-Paste-RG-ICV1-TW20-R1-/251507518080?pt=IN_Computer_Components&hash=item3a8f042a80

Will it be ok ?
