I don't really know where to put this, so let me know if it is in the wrong section.
So I just updated from an FX 4100 to an 8320e, which was surprisingly cheap from the last time I looked at them a few months ago (like £35 cheaper). So I slapped it in with the stock cooler to see how it would run and like I expected, it is incredibly loud under load. I expected this and I will have a hyper evo 212 within the next couple of days so the noise will decrease.
Under load, temps are peaking at around 40 on intense games. Now I don't want to start playing any intense games due to the noise being really offputting, so I thought I'd redownload Minecraft, since I hadn't played it since it was in alpha. I checked the options, changed the games UI to be smaller and left everything else the same (fancy graphics, no texture packs, view distance around 22 etc).
After 5 minutes however, I noticed that I was at point dipping under 60fps, and I can't see how I am on my system. So first I checked to see if something was getting too hot, but everything was fine. My system was quite even with the terrible CPU cooler, because nothing was being stressed, yet I was still getting 60fps or lower.
I found some threads and articles of people running very similar systems to mine who were getting around 300fps, so I can't seem to figure out why I am getting such a poor fps. I should probably add, yes. Vsync is turned off. I hate mouse lag so it always is lol.
Before installing my new CPU, I remember getting around 60fps in both Fallout 3 and NV, dipping into the 50's fairly often and even the 40's. However, no I get a consistent 75 - 85fps, which is cool. I've tried Mafia 2, which I get about 100fps and Heroes of the Storm, which seems to be unchanged with my new CPU (still getting about 40fps).
Anyone have any explanations for this? I'm wondering if this should be in the games section seeing as I can only really see this issue so far on Minecraft (I put bad performance on HotS due to poor optimisation).
