true but msi afterburner hasnt come out with the version which shows full threads of ryzen cpu core yet..only the percentage of the total cpu usage..maybe you're right..that could be the problem..I'll check with taks manager while playing with windows mode

so..any idea which may cause this? or maybe I should have my psu checked if there is any error with my psu

but I've found on this web they said r5 1600x pull 170W..is that only the cpu or the entire system?

yeah..I always choose games that is well optimized..only play witcher 3 gears of war 4 and just cause 3...even mafia 3 recently but all of those games I always have that problem...not stuttering sure..but but cpu and gpu wont max out..do you know how much W of these R5 cpus?

actually not..but some pause in game..maybe..I dont think this r5 can bottleneck my old gtx 970 easily like that..

I've just bought r5 1600 with b350m gaming pro mobo. When I play game I notice that whenever my cpu usage is up to about 60% then gpu usage is dropped down to around 80%..I think that's weird because cpu bottenecking will only happen if the cpu reach 100%..So I think that maybe the cause of my PSU which is only 500W with 37A on the single 12v rail ~444w..I dont know if this is the cause of my problem so I really need some advice..should I buy a new psu like 650w (note: my psu is from andyson M5 500w 80plus bronze and my gpu is palit gtx970. with 2 hdds and 1ssd with 16gig of ram)

So what software to be exact? @@..cuz I only know these soft but the point is I'm worrying that my mb "wont" be able to handle the i7 for too long. The phase in the mb wont support the power of i7 so someday It will break down. That's my concern

I use HW to monitor my pc including my motherboard temp and cpu temp because I've just installed a i7 3770 to my old crappy H61 mother. So when using HW I noticed that there are 2 categories on the "Temperatures" First is TMPIN 1 and TMPIN 2. So which one is exactly the temp of my motherboard? I also use speccy and it only shows me 1 temp so . Like the title, what is TMPIN?

yeah..thanks..so I will grab that i7 and see if I can gain any performance or not..:D...I will close this topic now..thanks again.:D

thanks. and how about the heat of this i7? my i5 2500's TDP is 95W and the i7's is 77w so i7 will slightly cooler than the i5 right? or the other way around?

with black ops 3 I can easily achive 80 fps with high setting but that's only in small maps and I often detect fps drop in bigger maps. Plus my cpu run 100% or 90 most of the time... In division I have worse scenario with cpu hit 100% most of the time and barely hit 60fps. some people I encounted on the internet said that my motherboard "may" support the i7 but if in longterm gaming the motherboard will overheat and the phase which power the cpu will be damaged due to the high power consumption of the i7..is that correct? that's the only thing that trouble me these days

I have a H61-s2p motherboard with i5 2500. I've been playing games like black ops 3, dying light and the division. I noticed that my cpu has become a bottleneck to my gtx 970 (jetstream) so I'm planning to upgrade to i7 3770 for now because I want to wait until the Zen or kabylake arrive so my question is will I have better performance when upgrading to this i7? and the H61 motherboard can ever be able to run this i7? really need some advice right now

so what is the 3.3V and 5V next to the 12v rail? I dont understand those..

so is it ok if I overclock?

I have this psu named andyson M5 500w with 37A on the 12v single rail..is it enough for my 970? the rest of my spec is i5 2500 non K with 8gb ram + 2 HDD
