GA-990FXA-UD3 fps loss after replacement?

Brady Holmes · Jul 7, 2014

So I just recently no longer then a month ago replaced my motherboard due to my old one burning out and just being generally old. After the replacement I started to notice that the games I used to run at 90+ frames on ultra now could on run at about 30 frames on minimum. I've done and searched every where to get this problem fixed but nothing seems to work. Updated every driver known to man for the board,cpu, gpu, everything. Even tried reseating everything and reinstalled my OS. Can anyone help?

You could have overclocked with the old one and that's why it died. Overclock with this one - cpu and gpu.

Post your complete build.

What game(s)?

Brady Holmes · Jul 7, 2014

Literally every game I've tried, and I never overclock my builds. Left 4 Dead 2, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 2, etc. etc. all super low fps compared to what I normally get which is never under 60 minimum.
System Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
RAM: Crucial 1866Mhz 4GBx2 DDR3/ Crucial 1866Mhz 2GBx2 DDR3
PSU: Rosewill 600W PSU
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM Hybrid SSD/HDD
GPU: GeForce GTX 650 (1GB)

I've had a lot of people say it's a CPU voltage problem that is common with both 6300 and the motherboard I have. But I have no idea what to set the voltage to, I never mess with it.

Also - don't have 2 different types of ram. Most mobos won't work with mixed ram.

What model rosewill power supply?

Put your pc details into http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=1164&game=Battlefield%203 and see if you are using the same recommended settings and getting the same expected fps.

Do the same for the other games too.

What temps are you getting - on idle and gaming, cpu and gpu?

Brady Holmes · Jul 7, 2014

I plan to get it replaced as soon as I get the cash, I'm getting just two 8GB sticks of G. Sniper 1866mhz DDR3 Ram, hate using mixed ram but it's all I had. RD600 is the power supply. GPU is 27c CPU is 22c on idle. About 32-34c on GPU while gaming and about 25-28 while gaming on the CPU. Also, how do I do the benchmark for the games without paying for it? Says it's premium only.

A lot of the games say I should get almost triple the frames I currently get while playing. Right now I just tested with L4D2 on Ultra how many frames I get and I get 60 solid but it cuts between 60 to 20 to 40 and then back up to 60 for a few seconds, it's not steady and that's with every game. I tried playing MW2 earlier as well and barely got 60 before dropping to 40 and it started lagging and I had to lower everything to minimum and I STILL got bad fps. I've never had problems with my current GPU and I've had it for about a year and a half now. I'm thinking maybe it's bad BIOS or wrong voltage or something similar?

OK - sorry - I missed it.

The RD600 is the old Stallion series that were not certified. I'd recommend replacing it with eg Seasonic 520, XFX 550 or Antec HCG 520M. What 12v, 5v and 3.3v readings do you get with your UEFI/Bios?

The temps are low - Winter where you are?

I'm in Indiana and we currently have horrible weather, 97 one day and 53 the next, plus I have 6 fans running on max right now keeping everything cool, was taught to keep it that way. And I plan to buy this one in a few days. Also did the frames thing, like I said not getting what I'm supposed to be, also the BIOS thing I have no idea. https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/newegg/corsair-power-supply-cx750m

See what you should be getting -

Using all the recommended settings still not getting the correct frames that I should be. Was talking to another friend of mine who also builds computers he said it could be that the power supply is outdated. I mean it is 3 years old ffs.

i7Baby · Jul 7, 2014

Can you post voltages? 12v, 5v and 3.3v readings - from bios/uefi

Brady Holmes · Jul 7, 2014

No idea how to.

i7Baby · Jul 7, 2014

Or download HWInfo and run Sensors.

Brady Holmes · Jul 7, 2014

3.363
4.980
12.384

i7Baby · Jul 7, 2014

I like it better when they are all within 0.2V of where they're supposed to be. I think the 12V reading is too high. So yeah - I recommend replacing the power supply. But I'm not sure if that will fix your low fps.

Sensors also gives cpu voltage - Vcore - and gpu voltage. What are they?

And do the temps it gives for cpu (package) and gpu match those you posted before?

Brady Holmes · Jul 7, 2014

I actually had all of those written down and erased them after I found the others../sigh. And yes, they do. It needs to be replaced anyways so HOPEFULLY it'll fix it, if not at least I have a new PSU that is actually up to date and just go from there.
