So to illustrate my problem the best I got a bit of a read...
I got a pretty fine gaming pc ( specs below). It works just fine from first looks. However I installed an ssd a few months back. Naturally I installed windows on it, a completely fresh install with the orriginal disk and with the boot from the disk drive and all. Figured it out as I went, took me a day but it was doable. Everything worked fine, pc boots in seconds, games run and so on.
However, the fps in games is really low regardless of graphic settings. For instance: gta5 online, I can turn everything way down or up and my fps while driving will still be around 20fps.. Same applies to csgo, however there I manage to get up to 100 fps with all settings down.
All temperatures are fine, cpu never goes above 50 C.
I tried an endless list of tweaking with settings however the fact that it was the same problem in several games suggested that is was not just settings causing the problem.
Through a friend I found out that ( by using the program cpuid) that my core clock was a 1,2 at ALL times. It never changed. So the max of 3,6Ghz was never used, so only 1/3 of the max clock speed is reached.
As a possible way to solve this I upgraded to win10 ( from win7 home). Did a complete fresh install (again). I installed cpuid again and it seemed that the problem was solved, the clock speed was changing with activity, reached over 3Ghz at one point for a second when I opened up a streaming site. However after 5 minutes the clock speed was again at 1,2Ghz and never left that speed after that.
I installed CSGO again, and the problem was the same. Relatively low fps, and clock speed stuck.
At the moment I am reinstalling GTA5 again to see how that runs but I think I know what the outcome will be...
So, my question to all you fine helpful people on this site is: is there anything I can still try to make my cpu run like it is supposed to do? Or is the thing just dying of old age......
I have heard of flashing the bios but that might be something that is perhaps a tad to complicated.
Any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Specs:
mobo: msi x79a-gd45 plus
cpu: intel core i7 3820 @3,6Ghz ( no overclock, never been overclocked)
cpu: msi gtx 970
ssd: hyperx savage 480Gb
hdd: st1000dm003 1Tb
ram: 12Gb (not sure on the brand, need to look that up if needed)
power: 600 W
Lightshot of cpuid: http://prntscr.com/9x9b4r
All parts are about 3 years old. Bought the pc assembled from a site but picked the parts myself form a selection that this particular site offered.
With exception of the gpu( almost 1 year old) and the ssd ( 3ish months).
