MSI 390 fps drops (need help)

tylercooper · Jul 3, 2016

here are my specs:
16gb RAM, MSI 390,
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight core processor,
250gb kingston savage ssd (boot),
1tb mechanical hard drive ,
I have 7 case fans not including the ones on my graphics card , i have done many tests , my cpu inst being bottle necking it its isnt over heating i dont know what is going on , im playing over-watch at 70fps then all of a sudden it drops to like 10-30fps for like 30 seconds then shoots back up. I have read other forum threads about this and none have helped i have no integrated graphics so that isnt being used or my windows inst corrupted because i just reinstalled it. All of my parts are brand new , i have came to you guys for help

Thanks for reading Tyler

tylercooper :

if you did not get a good fx 990 mobo it could be throttling due to VRM overheating

make and model of your mobo?

also install msi afterburner, turn on cpu temp and gpu usage plus core speed in the OSD

play a game, post back with a pic when a drop happens

my psu is 650Watt bronze certified

tylercooper :

this tells us nothing, need specific make and model on the psu

nasty drops, gpu temps look good

what are your max cpu temps while playing?

tylercooper · Jul 3, 2016

My max gpu temps are about 75C

maxalge · Jul 3, 2016

tylercooper :

cpu temps

we can see gpu temps on the picture

tylercooper · Jul 3, 2016

Max is 75C

maxalge · Jul 3, 2016

tylercooper :

afterburner can monitor cpu temps as well, i suggest you turn that on under settings in the OSD

open your pc case, leave it open and put a fan next to it

see if you still get drops

tylercooper · Jul 3, 2016

Okay i will come back with the results

tylercooper · Jul 3, 2016

no difference same drops and the temp is now 70C

tylercooper · Jul 3, 2016

I'v been reading , apparently my mobo need to be updated in order to work with my processor properly .what do you guys think

tylercooper :

make and model?

some older motherboards need a bios update yes

tylercooper · Jul 4, 2016

970a-g43 (ms-7693)

tylercooper · Jul 4, 2016

that my motherboard make

maxalge · Jul 4, 2016

tylercooper :

the 8350 is not on the cpu supported list

most likely the motherboard is throttling the cpu because it cant handle the power draw

I suggest turning off turbocore

tylercooper · Jul 4, 2016

how do i do this ?
And thanks for the help

maxalge · Jul 4, 2016

tylercooper :

go into the bios

look for turbo core > disable

run a game, see if you have drops

tylercooper · Jul 4, 2016

thanks i will go and update my bois later aswell to see if that helps

maxalge · Jul 4, 2016

tylercooper :

would probably be a good idea if you have never done it

tylercooper · Jul 4, 2016

Done what ? updated it , i havnt done it yet

tylercooper · Aug 4, 2016

Update , i got a new moba , one that supports my CPU still go the same issue
