As the title says I am looking for some assistance to fix a few issues that I am currently experiencing with my PC.
First I will start with my specs.
i7 950@3.07ghz
Asus Sabertooth x58 motherboard
Dual GTX 460 graphics, sli format
6 gb of ram
700 W power system
Corsair liquid cooling
2 in-case fans
Asus VE247 monitor
Now on to my issues:
Currently when I start playing Overwatch (or most other high end games) I am experiencing low FPS and high core temps.
By low fps I can get anywhere from 50-60 frames during the pregame screens, when it comes down to actual game play I hover around 20-30 frames with it dropping as low as 12-15 at times.
I have run through several different configurations on the settings, researched what settings will impact the frames. I have updated all drivers to their newest available updates. Even with all of this I still pull the same amount of frames.
Second is the issue of temperature. With most games, but more so Overwatch (or other visually intense games) I can feel a significant rise in core temp. Through the ingame stats of Overwatch I register between 68-72 C for my temps. Through Realtemp, speedfan, and similar programs it is currently around 72-76 C for temps. Even when I idle, the temps still hover around the same range, often times turning my room in to quite the sauna.
I had a previous issue with the original liquid cooling system failing, which was replaced by a computer tech. The original LCS had tubes about nickle size in diameter. My current Corsair LCS has tubes about dime size in diameter. Unsure if this will make an difference in cooling performance.
So what I am seeking is some help as to what may allow me to increase my frames (currently looking into purchasing a GTX 1070 when they are released). As well as what can be done to lower my temperatures? For instance, will replacing the cooling system be wise.
Thanks for any help and input
