  1. Mine was having issues during the game itself and the cut-scenes too. The Ryzen is really tempting me but I will postpone it for 2-3 months and I will see then, maybe I will wait for the 4th series or who knows, maybe Intel will launch something decent.
  2. Yeah, from what I remember it had an OC to 4.3. I saw a video on YouTube that compares the 3800X to the 4790K and the difference is not so much in the higher fps.. it's more on the lower side, my CPU struggling at some points and making the game stutter
  3. Well the only time I saw my CPU struggle was during the Battlefield 5 campaign, where it would constantly drop frames. Otherwise I play at 1080p so I usually have more than 60 frames on a pretty high setting. But sometime I will still have to upgrade it so I was just asking if it's worth it now or better wait.
  4. This is just a sidenote as this post is at the end, I will try perfecting my OC a bit and make the temps maybe somewhat better, but do you think I should upgrade this PC? I was thinking of the AMD route as I want to still be able to pop in a newer CPU on the same motherboard and Intel will not be capable of that. I use this PC mainly for multimedia and gaming. so the options are: 1. Go for the AMD 3700X + MSI MEG X570 Ace + 16GB 3600MHz Cl16 2. Go for the Intel 9900KF + ASUS Strix Z390-E + 16GB 3200/3600MHz CL16 3. Upgrade my GPU instead (GTX 1070 to RTX 2070 Super/2080) 4. Wait a few more months for prices to drop/ for the next generation L.E. while tweaking my CPU OC and doing a stress test I noticed that my GPU clock is staying at 1630 while idle. I changed a power setting in the Nvidia Control Panel to Adaptive and now my GPU temps went down to 44 Celsius while idle. Now that's something I like seeing.
  5. Yeah, it's in 0 rpm mode and it keeps starting and stopping the fans as it hits 56, and instantly stops as it hits 55. That's why I made a curve to start the fans at 60. My CPU is OC'd at 4.3GHz with manual voltage set to 1.15, but I set it to adaptive mode as I would like it to go to a lower voltage when the clocks are not that high. This works but it causes the voltage to go to 1.2 in load.
  6. I always considered myself unlucky at temps but in the past years I changed CPU, multiple GPUs, coolers, case and better fans and nothing improved, I always have high temps so I blamed the placement of my PC (it was stuck between the desk and a closet).. then I moved and the PC was sitting on a heated floor next to the desk so I blamed that... now I put it on the desk itself and nothing changed. I did not check the temps as often as now (since I have a widget for it) so I am not sure about the spikes, but I presume they were the same before. I remember replacing the thermal paste on a GTX 1080Ti Strix OC and the temps dropped by a lot, when I repasted mine nothing changed. I just hate seeing it always idling at 55-60 degrees on the lightest workload and I presume when I upgrade to a 2070 Super of a 2080, that will be the same.
  7. 3 intakes at the front, 1 exhaust at the back and 2 exhaust at the top, all 12cm. The CPU cooler also has 2 fans, one is 12 and the other is 14cm.
  8. GPU at 0% usage is at 55-56 and YouTube 4K is 61. CPU while gaming (CS:GO) went as high as 77 and idle ( load between 5-20% alternating) is 42-43.
  9. To do a somewhat better TL:DR style summary: - Case is a ThermalTake Versa C22 RGB with 6 fans (every place there can be a fan + 1 in the front mounted with rubber); side panel off did not help - i7 4790K 4.3GHz that was 50+ Celsius idle ramping to 60+ when opening task manager (that would just ramp up the coolers and get the temp back instantly), did a delid with liquid metal, put back older cooler Silentium PC Grandis 2 and now it sits at 42 while writing this with a spike to 50 if I open task manager - GTX 1070 ASUS Strix OC that is 54 idle with replaced thermal paste, had to do a custom profile as when I watch YouTube, it just starts and stops the fans (with custom profile set to start the fans at 60, I still see it at the barrier 60-61 so the fan starts) Are this temps ok, what do I have to change in order to improve them? Ambient temp is 21 Celsius.
  10. Hey guys, since installing 2 rainmeter skins that show my GPU and CPU temps at all times on one of my monitors it started really worrying me that my CPU (4790K) was easily hitting 55 in idle with spikes of 5-10 degrees Celsius when just doing something minor (opening a task manager) so I was pretty sure the paste is not ok. Changed the paste, same temps. Changed back to my old cooler ( Silentium PC Grandis 2 from Fera 3 RGB) same temps. So I delided it, put liquid metal on it (Conductonaut) and now my temps are not fluctuating that much and are arround 40-45 in idle and 70 on load, this on a basic 4.3 OC just by increasing the multiplier. Now my GPU(ASUS Strix OC 1070) is in the same place, 55-56 degrees all the time in idle,fan keeps starting and stopping so I had to make a custom profile where fans kick in at 60...it does the same thing, 60-61 in idle. I find these temps pretty bad asnd even put the PC on my desk so it’s not close to the floor heating, it has 6 airflow fans, tried it without the side panel.. nothing helps. Is this normal? Tried windows reinstall, I have an antivirus but still ran malwarebytes + adwcleaner. This is not something that just started now, it’s been always like this but I don’t know what else to change. Thanks a lot for the help guys, hope you can understand my ramble.
  11. Yeah, I just bought a 144Hz monitor (1080p). The main question is what would give me more performance at the lowest cost.. upgrading the 1070 to a 1080Ti (I do not want to go the AMD route on the GPU side) or changing the whole CPU+Mobo+memory combo. If I go the 2nd route I want an X570 motherboard (probably the X570-E from Asus). My CPU cooler is a SilentiumPC Fera 3 RGB. I am just watching Buildzoid's list of noteworthy 2x8GB as I really want to buy something that I do not have to change again because it's not a good performer (I want the ram to have RGB too).
  12. Hey guys, I usually upgrade my PC once a year (at least one component) and this year, for now, I only upgraded my monitor. You can see my PC parts in my profile section but the 2 important parts are the GTX 1070 and the i7 4790K. I mainly use this PC for multimedia purposes and gaming, 1080p. Now, my main question is, what should be my next update to see some improvements in performance. Battlefield V set itself to all ultra and both my GPU and CPU were over 90% usage and running around the 100-120 FPS mark with a few drops to 70 here and there. On the GPU side I was thinking about buying a used GTX 1080Ti as it seems like a pretty good upgrade while still being a relevant card for at least 1-2 years. The CPU side however really is a tough one. AMD seems like a better way to go (overall) while Intel still is better at gaming. However, as now I am forced to change everything (CPU+Mobo+Ram) I want something that lasts at least 2-3 years, and the 9th gen Intel platform clearly is a dead end. What do you guys recommend, upgrade the GPU and wait for 10th gen Intel (that will probably still be a dead end as they are not going 7nm now, and I will have to change the Mobo again to upgrade to a newer CPU) or upgrade to an AMD platform first and stick to this GPU for a while. In my AMD budget I would go for a Ryzen 7 3700X/3800X depending on the price difference at the moment. Thanks a lot!
  13. So I bought another stick, so anyone who has the same question, the upgrade (at least in benchmarks) is definitely worth it.
  14. Well from what I've read on some forums, the Z87 board can run 2 memory sticks in dual channel and the 3rd one in single channel. I presume this is why CPU-Z reports Dual Channel mode. Passmark memory read is 12660 and write is 8060, both being ~65 percentile scores.
  15. Hey guys, I have the following setup and I wanted to ask you, would there be any difference if I added one more Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB DDR3 1866MHz stick. Userbenchmark said that my memory was performing very poorly (13th percentile) while PassMark said it was performing well. As for memory usage I've never seen it exceed 9-10GB. CPU-Z shows the memory running in Dual-Channel mode. Setup: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790KMOBO: MSI Z87-G43 Gaming RAM: 12GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 @ 1866MHz GPU: Gainward GTX 970 but a GTX 1070 is soon going to be installed even tho 12GB of RAM is still enough I presume
