Can't figure out why my PC lags/glitches on games

OutworldEntity · Sep 29, 2014

Hey all, let me clarify. It's not a network issue...I tested it on two other lesser pcs and they run the same games flawlessly. When I load up Games (WoW, Archeage Online, Dota) it glitches every 1-2 seconds. I know what lag is like and it's more like something's wrong glitch-wise but I can't understand what it is. This didn't happen until I upgraded my ASUS mobo to a Faltal1ty z97 killer mobo and dual channel 16gb Ram...and a new CPU. I reloaded and reloaded every single mobo driver from the Fatal1ty site to no avail. All my Nvidia and windows updates are current. I'm stumped...I'm sure it's something I'm not seeing since I'm not nearly as bright as y'all so please weigh in. Below are my specs.

-Intel Core i7-4790K 8mb cache 4.40ghz
-GSkill Rip Jaw X series 16GB 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM
-Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
- Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB ATA
- ASRock ATX DDR3 LGA 1150 Faltal1ty Z97X Killer mobo
-1000W Gold Power Supply

Thanks so much for the help guys.

What DRAM (model # and is it set to run under XMP? or what settings is it using

Novuake · Sep 29, 2014

Did you check temps?

mdocod · Sep 29, 2014

Did you do a fresh windows install or just try to load drivers for the hardware swap?

I would advise a clean install after any major hardware change like that on windows.

Sorry Tradesman how do I check that? And yes Novuake temps are all fine im on a liquid cooled system and its running great.

And yes i did a clean instal of Windows already

Can get the model #(s) inn CPU-Z (free app) by looking in the SPD tab - then can find what it is actually all running at in the memory tab (true freq and base timings)

Okay i think i have what you're looking for. I validated it here. http://valid.x86.fr/8ut19y

Tradesman1 · Oct 1, 2014

Valid ID - not published on your results

OutworldEntity · Oct 1, 2014

you're going to have to give me more than that please. I see nothing on CPU-Z that says "Valid ID". how do i find that for you?

Tradesman1 · Oct 1, 2014

That was the error message I got from going to your link - if you simply open CPU-Z and look in the SPD tab it will give the DRAM part number

OutworldEntity · Oct 1, 2014

On the SPD tab:
Slot#1: DDR3
Module Size: 8192 MBytes
Max Bandwidth: PC3-10700 (667 MHz)
Manufacture: G. SKill
Part Number: F3-2133C9
SPD Ext: XMP 1.3
Frequency: 666 MHz 66MHz

And then it goes into Timings Table.
Under Memory it says:
Type DDR3
Size: 16GB
Channel: Dual
NB Frequency: 3997.6 MHz

DRAM Frequency: 666.3 MHz
FSB

RAM: 1.5
CAS# Latency (CL): 9.0 Clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) 9.0 Clocks
RAS# Precharge: 9 clocks
Cycle Time: 24 Clocks
Row Refresh Cycle Time 174 Clocks
Command Rate: 1T

Make sure you have the latest BIOS - go into the BIOS and enable XMP and select the 2133 (profile option) should set sticks up for you

OutworldEntity · Oct 1, 2014

Hey man i did exactly that and Windows wanted to book in Repaired Mode and not Regular Windows. WHen i still chose "regular windows" the screen went black and did nothing. had to restart the pc and put the settings back they way they were. I went to ASROCK's site to look up BIOS updates and it gave me a .50 file in which WinRar can't even open. So i'm stumped.

Any other suggestions?

OutworldEntity · Oct 6, 2014

Tradesman1 im still having the issue. Can you help?

Tradesman1 · Oct 6, 2014

Try raising the CPUVTT or DDRVTT (one should be the MC (memory controller) voltage up about + 0.06
