MSI 970 gaming + fx 4350 + Rx Radeon 460

doombot897 · Jan 28, 2018

So I already have these parts in my PC and it works (my pc) but some people I know have the GPU and CPU I have and they get performance I don't get in they game I play (game CS:GO). They get 100fps-150fps while I get 1fps-30fps. Only difference we have is the MB they don't know squat about PC parts so they are not helpful. Should I replace my MB or do something else?

Your motherboard seems good enough. What is your current RAM setup and how much background system noise do you have running while you are gaming? And are you gaming over a wireless connection?

doombot897 · Jan 28, 2018

I have Wireless connection and I have 8 gbs of ram and I try to not have anything going in the background while I play that is why I'm confused about not getting good performance.

I don't think a wireless connection should hurt frame rates. "1fps-30fps" sounds like something is really wrong. Have you checked temperatures and load level of both the CPU and GPU while gaming?

doombot897 · Jan 28, 2018

ya I have my CPU and GPU and MB are all the same temp while playing. Nothing gets hot ya warm but not HOT.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MGmKJV this is from pcpartpicker and my MB and CPU say to not be the best together

What are the exact models of your CPU, motherboard, video card & RAM? Without knowing, anyone giving advice has to guess the particulars of the model.

BTW, here is a little tidbit about gaming over WiFi

Patriot Viper DDR3-2400 240-pin DIMM 10 2x4GB 8GB
Is that the correct one?

doombot897 · Jan 28, 2018

that is

doombot897 · Jan 28, 2018

well CRAP I looked at my MB and it says MEMORY 2100 and I have 2400 in my MB at the moment. I should have listened when my pc was telling me there was a memory leak. Tho if I do buy something new itll be a Mb cuz the ram was more $. If you think there is anymore problems let me know please.

SirSub42 · Jan 28, 2018

Ok, a few problems.
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kkR6nn

1) The AMD 970 Vishera (FX-4350) bios firmware upgrade (if you have not already applied)
2) Your motherboard supports up to DDR3 1833 (2133 overclocked) but your sticks are rated at DDR3-2400
3) Your hard drive was not even listed on the site. 1TB with only 16mb cache is pretty weak for gaming.

I am not entirely sure on the whole interaction with the 2400 RAM and the 1833 Mobo. I always just assumed the mobo will only let it run as fast as its limits. But that might just be luck on my part.

You beat me by 6 miniutes, I took a little herbal break and got distracted.

Ya lol I think ill just buy a new MB not 970 but 990fx chipset and that supports my RAM. because all the 970 sets on pcpartpicker said PROBLEMS and when I did a chipset with 990fx it had a BIG GREEN CHECK and ya I looked up the ram and it works but memory leaks can happen when playing games DOWNGRADING performance badly so thanks for the help if you don't mind help me looking for a new MB.BUDGET 200$-250$ ish. OH and my hard drive its all I have to go with at the moment my master was a 200gb but was newer and faster speeds BUT it recently went coput and I had to use my secondary as my master now and well its the only hard drive I have to works.

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3461413/memory-leaks-gaming.html#20645968 about the ram i think.

doombot897 · Jan 28, 2018

ya its Strange a friend had and fx 4000 and a 1050 ti only a little better system i have. but he had a different MB and had the ram supported for his system and he got 100fps-250fps + my ram usage is always and 40%-50% but nothing i every had running took up 4 gigs of ram tho i bet after getting a new MB CSGO will finally take its ram increasing performance? idk but i need to look for a new MB now.

any help finding a new 990fx MB would be helpful
