Hello!, I would please require some help from the community,
I have a 2-years old pc with these specs:
·Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth x79(bios updated)
·CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K, 3200 MHz
·GPU: ASUS GTX 670 Direct CU II
·RAM: 4xKingston 4GB Module - DDR3 1600MHz
·SPU: Tecnimax 700 W
·Case: Sunbeam Automaton
Well, first let me start off by telling you guys that my main intention and objective when I built this pc was to have a gamer pc that would let me run games at max settings or at least at very high settings for at least two years. The GPU has almost since the very first day never given me the result I expected. I can't run Far Cry 3 at max settings at all, neither can I do so with Crysis; even when I change some options, the frame rate is still very low. I have tried many programs to monitorize the GPU, malware, antivirus always up to date, BIOS updated, Nvidia latest drivers, but the GPU would still fail to run as I expected.
Lately, the GPU has been reaching temperature of 100 degrees or higher; I understand these games are very demanding, but aren't those really high temperatures?
Then the computer started to reboot when I played high-end games. I got once a message of CPU overheating, and thought that perhaps all of these problems came because my pc was not clean enough and the air cooling system was not doing its work. Cleaned it (was in fact full of trash), but the problem persists. I have searched many websites and I am starting to think that probably the problem has to do with the PSU, which is in fact from a very shitty brand. Replacing the PSU should easily solve the rebooting problem, but what about the GPU performance...could the PSU have anything to do with it?
By the way I tried the 3dBenchmark and that was kind of depressing. Any ideas or solutions please?
