Oxidated Cooler can cause FPS dop?

FTRGameplays

Can a cooler that is oxidated a little cause FPS drops when playing demanding CPU usage?

cooler itself can't cause anything, high temperatures might, check those.

unless the temps are going way higher than normal causing the cpu to thermal throttle, no.

I think you are confused between oxidize and rust components (or how oxygen can cause rusting)

unless you are living in the moon, you can't avoid oxygen.

my coller isn't rusting it's oxidizing looks more like limestone in the heatsink

Like said, cooler doesn't effect to performance directly. It effects on temps which in many case effect on performance. So if your temps go up to 90C or smthng, then yes, oxidation of your cooler is causing FPS drops.

my temps i think they go go max 50C, also a guy gave me 2 possible answers in another website.

 

First was that my Mobo (Asrock 970 Extreme4) has a weak voltage regulator system and it is  known to throttle to save the overheating vrm's. This causes the cpu multi to nosedive.

 

Second is that if the bios version is wrong it may causa FPS drops.

Could you show a picture? It's more likely some weird looking dust buildup.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

it isn't dust because the computer had been like this even the first time i played a game.

First time i use it it was the same, only thing changed right now the HDD speed is increased, but that's maybe because i cleaned the dust and used some software to clean the computer (CCleaner, Adwcleaner, Antivirus, Combofix).

 

So dust is not the cause of it

Max temp at 50C is still good, even with AMD CPUs which throttle at 60C. I doubt this is BIOS issue, but you could try with update. Which game is the issue and which AMD chip you are running (doesn't say in sig)?

My Processor is an  FX 8350 Black Box Edition Boxed

 

Chipset Northbridge 970

             Southbridge SB950

 

The games that i have issues are Farcry 4, BF4 and Archeblade and Watchdogs.

 

Farcry  and Archeblade is somewhat playeble but with lot of FPS drops, BF4 unplayable too much FPS drops same as Watchdogs

 

PS: Is there any way that the flash might go wrong without the power go off?

Ok, so your CPU should be good and temps clearly aren't issue. So the drops are from something else. It might be HDD getting old, some background processes or even ram issues.

 

Flashing BIOS can go wrong if you loose power in the middle of it. Or shutdown PC at wrong point. Generally wait until you see desktop/login screen or BIOS asking for loading default settings.

I doubt that is my HDD my HDD is faster than ever but he has some years to it 

 

I have seen in some posts in here and it seems that flashing bios is very risky and almost every time fails and i might get a bricked board, it's a very delicate thing to do, if the pc freezes  my board might get bricked. 

 

This just plain stupid from what i seen in the post people getting bricked boards because pc frooze, even if the Flash works correctly the board might get bricked.

 

I seriously don't know how computer repair shop can solve this, the flash is easy but the problems are just too much how the hell can they do this without any problem i really doubt that they can get at first time, seems to me that flashing bios is kinda of a lottery either you have luck flashing or you get a bricked board.

Well, I don't know if its riskier with AMD chipsets. I've so far flashed 1 AMD and 3 Intel chipsets. One of them being my previous board which I flashed 3 tines. I've used all methods, floppy (the AMD one), USB and Windows software. Only way to get it bricked, is if PC loses power or you boot it before process has ended.

I noticed today when i was trying to update the drivers of my graphics card and it just couldn't do it automatically i had to use revo uninstaller to remove and use DDU to remove the remnants files.

 

Also when i tryed shutdown some serviçes just shutdown i had to manually start them, so i am gonna buy a new HDD then an SSD do a clone of this one and then check is the problem is gonne i will update when i get the new HDD and say something about it

Sounds like its better to do full fresh install of Windows.
