Gtx 970 fx 8350 970a-g43 motherboard 8gb ram performance issues in games

Speezquick · Aug 17, 2016

So i have asked this question alot "Why is my pc not capable of running the games it should with max settings except for hairworks and stuff. And recently when i played cs:go I dipped to 23fps in like 10 seconds alot of times in the match, and thats just really annoying and same with far cry 3 i have frame drops etc and the witcher 3 i'm very certain that i should be able to run that game on ultra settings with v-sync and hairworks turned off at a somewhat stable 60fps, but i dip to around 30 sometimes even when theres not alot going on. Can anyone tell me what i can do to fix this because its really annoying.

Double-check to make sure you're not having some overheating issues. In addition to checking your CPU & GPU temps, there are apparently some issues with the VRMs on your MSI board overheating:

If you have any available spots built into the case, you may want to add a couple more case fans to improve the air flow.

Forgot to say somethings: I have a hyper 212 evo cooler, a very shitty bitfenix nova case i only think i can fit 1 more fan but my mobo only has 2, 4 pin connecters for my fans and ive allready added 1 fan so i have none left and most people just say i need to get a better board

thanks for the reply, but im most likely not going to get those heat sinks etc got any suggestions though for good around 80 dollar mobo for fx 8350?

And would the better motherboard help all framedrops etc?

madmatt30 · Aug 20, 2016

Definitely a new board , the g43 can't handle an 8350 at all.

Ud3p
http://

& yes it should stop those drops straight away.

madmatt30 :

thanks so much means alot. But they dont have that in our country would this do the same? https://www.komplett.no/product/868500/datautstyr/hovedkort/amd-socket/gigabyte-ga-970-gaming-socket-am3

madmatt30 · Aug 20, 2016

Not as good quality as the ud3p on vrm setup & voltage regulation

BUT

Yes, it'll do the job & is a huge step up from your current MSI board mate.

Is this is https://www.proshop.no/Hovedkort/GIGABYTE-GA-970A-UD3P-rev-10-Hovedkort-AMD-970-AMD-Socket-AM3-ny-socket-DDR3-RAM-ATX-/2424366?utm_source=prisjakt&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pricesite

Found that in Norway but wasnt sure because the box looked like some motherboard from a school computer (Like my one)

But some people have said i should save up and sell the mobo and cpu i got now and buy intel stuff would that be a good call, even though i just bought my pc and im on a very tight budget?

And is there a huge difference from the rev 2 and the rev 1 edition and wich one should i get?

Lol Sorry im such a plague. Wich should i get out of the 3 i have shown you https://www.komplett.no/product/759848/datautstyr/hovedkort/amd-socket/asus-m5a97-r20-socket-am3# This one is a bit cheaper then the 2 others

madmatt30 · Aug 22, 2016

Either of the gigabytes mate IMO.
I use the ud3p myself & am running an 8320@4.5ghz with no problems at all.

Yes an Intel setup is better but that's going to cost you a lot of money !!

The 8350+gtx 970 is a solid combo for gaming, its just unfortunateyou made a bad choice originally buying that cheap MSI board.

Speezquick · Aug 22, 2016

madmatt30 :

I bought a bundle that my advicer said was a VERY AWESOME deal and that i had to get it (used) and ok thanks

Oh and people are saying that the Website i was about to order the ud3p is a bit sketchy and weird and i know for a fact that the other motherboards website isnt so what should i go with is there that much of a difference?

madmatt30 · Aug 22, 2016

Speezquick :

so you bought the pc used already built??
I cant imagine its ever really worked properly then mate - the g43 is possibly the worst am3+ board there is.

& yes komplett are a respectable seeler here in the uk too,I dont blame you for wanting to stick with them

bothe the asus m5a97 & 970 gaming are decent boards,if you want to save a bit of money the asus board will do the job.

Speezquick · Aug 22, 2016

madmatt30 :

Haha no i bought used gpu used mobo used ram used cpu and rest new so yes kinda i did but i built it myself. And did you mean you couldnt image that anything worked properly in the first place?

And this motherboard is Gigabyte and they sell it for same price as the asus one would it be a better call then? https://www.komplett.no/product/805456/datautstyr/hovedkort/amd-socket/gigabyte-ga-970a-ds3p-socket-am3

madmatt30 · Aug 23, 2016

The asus is better than the ds3p so stick with the Asus if you want to save a bit of money

Speezquick · Aug 23, 2016

madmatt30 :

My gpu usage was going from 60 to 99 in like spikes and same with my cpu while playing far cry 3. Will the motherboard fix that even thought the gpu is spiking too? and the idle gpu temperature is 50 degreese now

madmatt30 :

I delayed the purchase of the motherboard because my dad was lazy and then this happend http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3176155/low-3dmark-score-gtx-970-8350.html

madmatt30 :

I did intel burn test and i ran witcher 3 and i dropped down to 1.4 ghz all the time in burn test and witcher I dont think the mobo helped

Which motherboard have you actually bought?

Speezquick · Sep 23, 2016

madmatt30 :

Msi 970 gaming

madmatt30 · Sep 23, 2016

Is overdrive showing the CPU clock as 1400mhz ALL the time , even on desktop etc.

Speezquick · Sep 23, 2016

madmatt30 :

No no its when i run intel burn test it drops down to 1400mhz sometimes and then it stays there for a while.

madmatt30 · Sep 23, 2016

boot into bios,open the oc settings tab,disable turbocore.
save ,reboot ,try again.

that board should not throttle.unless your cpu temps are not good under full load.
