worth upgrading from 1055t(not OCed) to fx-6350?

[dice581]

strictly for gaming.

 

[8350rocks]

I would say so, you could OC the FX6350 to likely about 5.0 GHz, and even if you don't OC, the stock clock @ 3.9 GHz will be VERY fast.

Well worth it...you should see some good FPS increases in the newer games.

yep 6350 is better overall than the 1055T, also handles DRAM better

 

[Vulpes vulpes]

tradesman and 8350rocks are both correct, especially in regards to DRAM control.

 

[dice581]

thanks for the advice all.already ordered it.

Let us know how it goes

the cpu works great...run bf3 1080p with medium and rarely i get below 60 fps...however the 7870 temperature went a bit up....reaching 75 max in game....should i get another fan for my mid tower?...my air flow is kinda bad inside

 

[Tradesman1]

Prob be worth it

 

[dice581]

i opened the case and it doesnt go over 60....

 

[Tradesman1]

What is your fans setup for airflow - pulling from the front and pushing exhaust out the rear is the norm

 

[dice581]

yup....front means where the psu is right?cpu fan towards gpu and gpu fan towards the back

 

[Tradesman1]

PSU is normally at the back of the case where the majority of your ports are like video, ethernet, keyboard, mouse, etc that case fan should be pushing air (heat) out of the case

this is how i have them.i will get a case fan on monday and i only have room for it above gpu

 

[dice581]

i fixed it by moving the cpu cooler fan to the other side..60-65 degrees now...monday i will get a case fan and evreything will fall into place...will post updates

 

[Tradesman1]

Sounds like a plan, keep us updated

 

[dice581]

btw the cpu fan should be blowing air away from cpu and not towards the cpu right?

 

[Tradesman1]

I set them blowing air over the CPU towards the exhaust fan idea is for the cool air to come in the front, blow it over the CPU to the back and take the hot air out so it doesn't remain in the case

Not rlly helping here but u said ur getting 60ish fps with bf3 at 1080p with a 7870/fx6350 on medium? that setup is capable of ultra slightly below 60fps and high easily prob 60fps, i get 35ish with my 1055t oc and 6770, and 60fps high with a 5850 at 1080p

 

[dice581]

tradesman-well like in the picturies cant really put them to blow over,just through...i put the fan to blow towards the exhaust fan,if i put through the cpu i think it will be cooler but last time i tried it,dust formed quickly on the cooler.
lazyboy-i mean min 60 fps....some parts in bf3 maps,especially b2k maps have fps drops(poorly optimized maps i guess).i want it to run min 60 fps all the time. i tried ulta and it runs on 60ish fps

 

[Tradesman1]

By over the CPU, I mean it attaches to the fin stack, so basically it's blowing into the stack, over the fins to push heat towards the rear of the case, It's a Hyper 212 EVO and looks like a picture of one...and yes dust will collect, keep a can of compressed air around and blow out your fans and case, I'm in Arizona and you can't escape dust

I see makes sense

 

[dice581]

well my processorg doesn't have temp problems,it goes max 62.for now il leave it like that.Will put the fan like you said if the fan case won't improve the gpu temperature,since the cpu fan is quite close to the gpu it will cool it down a bit i guess

 

[Tradesman1]

Let us know how it goes

 

[dice581]

will do,thx for the great tips
