Low fps and lag in all games, Asus Crosshair formula z, fx 9590

Vikingskjegg · May 18, 2016

Hi i am experiencing lag and low fps in all the games i try to play, i have tried to replace many different parts but still suffer from the same problem and i am slowly turning insane, can someone please help me resolve this issue i am dealing with. i bought a new hdd and ssd to see if that caused it and it did not help,
my specs:
Amd Crosshair Formula z
cpu fx9590
2x amd Radeon HD 7900 series (connected with crossfire)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler
Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1600MHz 8GB

i cant understand why it sucks so badly in games, constant low fps and lag. broken motherboard or cpu? please give me some awesome feedback to fix this nightmare

The hyper 212 has no chance of cooling that 220 Watt processor that is your main problem.
Your processor is throttling from the heat.
Your going to need a massive upgrade for the cooler it almost needs custom water.
I have no clue why people buy those processors. Get a h100 GTX or 110 gtx water cooler.

i have constant monitoring of temprature and it is never too high, that is not the problem im afraid

Zerk2012 · May 18, 2016

Their 100% no way that cooler can cool that processor that is your problem.
Your hitting the thermal limit of the processor.
Download OCCT and see for yourself when running it.
Your CPU will be running really slow to keep from killing it. Unless whoever built the PC down clocked and lowered the voltage on the processor to 8350 specks.

At what clocks is it running then?
Can you upload some pictures from cpu-z while you run some demanding game?

Zerk2012 :

dont know how to post pictures here but , with occt the temp i stable at 41 celcius

Zerk2012 · May 18, 2016

You got to click the on button not just open the program.
Click on the left side where it says CPU OCCT then click the green on button.

Vikingskjegg :

that cpu is way to hot to be running on a aircooler water cooled is what amd recomended for those chips

Hi Vikingskjegg

1. Is this a new build?
2. What experience have you with EUFI Bios? and state any Bios changes you have made.
3. Please list your PSU. You will need a 1000W min for your system.
4. Do you have both 4pin and 8PIN sockets occupied on the MB?
5. What version Bios are you on?. an update may be required.
6. Bad GPU driver or crossfire issues. Try with one card.
7. Test your DIMMs with Memtest86+

You should conduct a stress test to determine if your problem is an unstable OC, Heat related or due to an inefficient Power supply.

Go to the ASUS website and download Realbench also download HWMonitor from HWBot site.
Conduct a stress test in Realbench whilst constantly monitoring your temperatures in HWMonitor.
You will be looking for Voltage variations (Vdroop) and note your max temperatures.
Do not attempt the Benchmark at this point. The benchmark is vigorous and will most lightly fail.

An air cooled solution is not the way to go and Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo will not cope under load.
You will need Corsair H110 or similar to keep temps in check for anything above stock frequency.

Please report back with results of the above.

Zerk2012 :

i noticed something interesting in occt, it says on the cpu bar that the current speed is 1474,8 mhz, the original speed is 5000mhz, and the overclock is at -70,5%
does this mean it has been downclocked and barred for further increase?

Vikingskjegg · May 19, 2016

how can i remove the downclocking? just enough to actually play and have the tempratures at a stable and not to high level

Zerk2012 · May 19, 2016

Vikingskjegg :

What was the temperature during this. On the CPU is the only number that matters. Your overheating!!!!!!!

still at 40 celsius

Zerk2012 · May 19, 2016

You need to return that where you got it you got cheated or upgrade the cooling and possibly the power supply and clock it back up.

Vikingskjegg · May 19, 2016

Zerk2012 :

Do you have any idea on how to clock it back up? Thinking of upgrading the cooling system to corsair h100i v2

Zerk2012 · May 19, 2016

You should be able to just reset CMOS. Google it.
I would upgrade the cooling first.

Supports CPU up to 140 W

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_V_FORMULAZ/specifications/

why you see this issue with 220w chips on asus boards

asus was caught changing the specs on there site for the sabertooth r2 from 140w to 220w [asus misleading as usual ]

look at the reviews of the sabertooth r2 and see it ''was'' a 140w board all along as well

Supports CPU up to 140 W

you got the old asus dupe job on that deal

good luck

I just went by this.

One person got his stable at 4.7 anouther got 5.2

Zerk2012 :

Makes you wonder whats going on here.
The ASUS Australian site has differing spec regarding TDP draw: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_V_FORMULAZ/specifications/?_ga=1.197954415.1946478081.1463142152
So lets speculate which is correct.

''Makes you wonder whats going on here. ''

called asus don't give a crap and too big for there britches . not no where near the same asus of past matter of fact my last asus was my ''last''

then look at the amount of bios updates there boards get most like board form outher brands may get 6 or 8 but the same asus boards may have 18 [for system stability] so how unstable was it to start with ??

I think asus is more hype the quality and playing off there old good name .. I dumped asus and cant say it was a wrong move and now seem to get more trust worthy support not a 140w board that gets a bios update for the 220w chips like here just to start

its like they don't have a clue of what they just did amd look at all the guy with asus boards and this issue here as well ... hmmmmmmm....
