Gaming experience seems slow after upgrading everything

mikeespino · Jun 22, 2018

Hello guys sorry for bad grammar, but I am need in desperate help with my pc. Long story so I bought an Asus cg5275 used on Craigslist everything was stock, so I decided to upgraded everything, but I started off with the cpu upgraded from i5 650 to i7 870, so when I got the cpu my motherboard smoked out because of my low quality psu (insignia 450 wart 80plus) So what I did was I decided to replace everything. So I went on eBay bought a new motherboard it was new unused the seller said, but the properties of the Mobo is different from the current one it had in the case (current Mobo p7h55-m cg5275) now the new Mobo says this (p7h55-m bm5275) and the only difference was the new Mobo had different type of vrm and the capacitors where different colors also the new on has only one bios chip unlike the old one had two. Very sorry for the long thread but please bare with me, I’ve tried everything from reinstalling windows to reianstalling gpu drivers with DDU did cmos reset many times double checked case making sure all cables where tight, did ram switches, made sure cpu temps and gpu temps where okay cpu does not exceed to 60c even under load. Gpu reaches 80c under stress test, disabled turbo boost as I saw it made frame drops it did fix it but frame rates are still dropping a little, I had this problem for almost 2 months trying to get use to it, but I finally gave up because people with the same components as me seem like it performs way better than mines. Very sorry but please help me I’ve tried everything please.
Specs
Asus cg5275
Asus bm5275 p7h55-m Mobo
Core i7 870 2.93ghz
8gigs of ram
Samsung evo 850 250gb
Gtx 770 oem reference cooler
Corsair cx650m 80plus bronze
Cryorig h7 cpu cooler
2 vetroo led 140mm fans up to1200rpm
Forgot to mention the gtx 770 was naught used, but after I got it I cleaned it and replaced the thermal paste the thermal pads were still good. Even as for the ram it’s non branded, the cpu was used also. Everything else new thanks for reading very sorry for the long thread.

So you need to start with some basic bench marking to see where your bottlenecks are

So download one and see how your CPU compares.
Then Look at RAM, disk and GPU in turn.

Are you trying to set your graphics settings too high?

Are you running out of RAM when you play, 8GB may not be enough.

when swapping mobos you need to completely re-install windows so good that you did that, all mobo drivers/bios up to date?

1 - resolution you play at

2 - what games are you trying to play, at what settings?

the 870 is ok, but modern i3's are easily stronger so you should expect drops if you are trying to run newer games especially with a gtx 770

at 1080p you should be running medium settings with no AA

Hi sorry for not replying but with my core i5 650 and the old motherboard it performed way better than this I only
Play simple games like fortune and roblox then Minecraft on max settings, when when I’ve upgraded everything it couldn’t do that no more. While gaming cpu usage is low while gpu is somewhat high sometimes. some say the core i7 870 is still strong for modern games and I know it’s old
