koneplus · Jul 30, 2014

Hello guys i have a problem with my CPU

Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme 4
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0 Ghz
GPU: Sapphire HD 7950 3GB 384 bit
Ram: 8 gb Hyper-X Blue
CPU COOLER: Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo

I`m Counter-Strike Global Offensive player. So i need high fps. I have all settings on low in-game.
For few minutes i have 300 FPS and for 3-5 seconds my cpu jump from 4,2 Ghz to 1,.. Ghz

Copy/paste form cs:go console:

~CPU Freq: 4.217 GHz Percent of requested: 105.4% Minimum percent seen: 28.8%
~CPU Freq: 4.217 GHz Percent of requested: 105.4% Minimum percent seen: 28.8%
~CPU Freq: 1.146 GHz Percent of requested: 33.7% Minimum percent seen: 28.8%
~CPU Freq: 1.150 GHz Percent of requested: 33.8% Minimum percent seen: 28.8%
~CPU Freq: 1.143 GHz Percent of requested: 33.6% Minimum percent seen: 28.8%

How's your framerate? Unaffected? You should know that all CPU's throttle themselves when not under heavy load. Graphics cards are always the most demanding component of any game... except minecraft... but only because Notch is a fool and still hasn't switched to OpenGL.

BigBadBeef :

affected, when cpu frequency is low , same FPS are low, from 300 to 30-50 ... But what can i do?

BigBadBeef · Jul 30, 2014

30-50 is normal, 300 is severe screen tearing!

What are the temperatures on your CPU when you're playing CS:GO?

Go into the bios and turn off Cool'n'quiet, and see if that helps the frame rates.

koneplus · Jul 30, 2014

BigBadBeef :

No bro is not normal , because from fast framerate to low framerate is like a slow motion . Whats setting can i modify in bios or where?

Onus · Jul 30, 2014

Does your case get good airflow through it? Overheating VRMs can also throttle a system.
If temps aren't a problem, you might make any power-saving features less aggressive, or disable them entirely, at least for testing.

Calnin :

I tried with Cool`n`quite disabled and no effect., with H/W monitor in game i have 40-55 C , and on idle 25 C .

Fidgetmaster · Jul 30, 2014

Nah you need to OC the 8350 is slow at 4ghz haha

koneplus · Jul 30, 2014

Onus :

I have Raidmax Cobra case. Explain in detail please about what features you talk. Sorry for bad english.

Beezy · Jul 30, 2014

check the control panel settings (hardware options). battery and set it to high performance mode instead of balanced or power saver.

koneplus · Jul 30, 2014

Beezy :

I set it now to High Performance.

Beezy · Jul 30, 2014

koneplus :

any luck? any how my last hunch is a PSU that cant deliver, what is the brand/model

koneplus · Jul 30, 2014

Beezy :

For the moment is ok i have 56 C max in game , but now in idle i have 39-44 C .. idk if its ok

Calnin · Jul 30, 2014

You're idling on warmer temperatures, but your load temperatures are okay.

koneplus · Jul 31, 2014

Yes the problem persist.

Beezy · Jul 31, 2014

Boot into the BIOS and look at the version listed, do tell.

koneplus · Jul 31, 2014

Beezy :

Here you have a picture from my BIOS http://oi61.tinypic.com/2e34qb7.jpg

Beezy · Jul 31, 2014

your BIOS is out of date, the newest BIOS is P2.6

koneplus · Jul 31, 2014

Beezy :

Ok updated to 2.6 version. I will test now

Edit: Problem persist after update... frequency is insane for few seconds ... and frames same... what can i do ? An overclock ? I read on internet wich fx-8350 at standard settings is low.. sorry for bad english ?

koneplus · Jul 31, 2014

Problem persist, help help help !

Fidgetmaster · Aug 1, 2014

AMD Failure haha

Calnin · Aug 1, 2014

You could turning the overclocking mode to manual. Then manually setting the multiplier to x20 to run at 4ghz. Disable the turbo boost feature for now.

koneplus · Aug 2, 2014

I put it to OC MODE , and set it at 5 % , 4,2 Ghz OC and now, not problems.. idk if is good.
