Hi Guys,

I just recently built a computer using i7 6700, msi gtx 970, kingston hyperx ddr4 2400 MHZ, ASUS H170 PRO motherboard, samsung 850 ssd, 1tb seagate hard drive

I am getting fluctuating FPS on csgo, haven't tested it properly on other games yet but i think i should be getting more than 130-250 on csgo with these specs?

Temps seems okay for GPU and CPU, i currently only have 1x 8GB ram stick installed and haven't allocated a drive as of yet for my seagate hard drive so not sure if this is causing issues?

I have unparked cores for the cpu also and set power options to high performance,

Any ideas/suggestions? could it be my installation at fault? faulty parts?

Kind Regards,

Zia

Windows has the ability to control your cpu's cores on an individual basis. Under light loads or idling, windows can render any unused core completely inactive(parked) until needed. This is an efficiency thing that can be disabled in the registry. That means that every core remains active 24/7 whether in use or not. For some reason, some people think that unparking cores gives a performance boost, but in reality, it does very little if anything. Windows only takes about 0.000000001 seconds to activate a core or "park" it. Keeping all cores active does not mean that all cores are "working" all the time if there is no "work" for them to do. So they sit at 0% usage but active instead of 0% and "parked" when not needed.

What psu do you have?

Check other games and possibly look at some other reviews from people with similar builds to make sure your expectations are where they need to be.

If something is wrong, it is likely in the settings and/or drivers. Your parts are strong.

It takes tiny fractions (millionths) of a second for the OS to unpark a core. Let then OS control that unless you are running a server that stays busy 98% of the time or more, The amount of time is so small that you cannot even see the difference in a benchmark. But you will notice the difference in your power bill with all cores unparked

Thank you for that info, i will park them back.

Do you think the non allocated HDD could be causing this?

Also the comp seems to be alot louder than it should.. i will post temperatures later on
