Check throttlestop (program).

it says what throttles you CPU, and can disable those at own risk, but just to monitor what throttles you its great.

but does sound like you have thermal issues. so check temps while it happens

It highly depends on the framerate being pushed

OP may be pursuing higher frame rates which is very CPU bound

thats true and i did also tweak a bit ,actually ended up setting my graphic settings a bit higher to make the GPU cap out before CPU.

Yeah just to clarify i am wondering that the 7600k can struggle while my old fucker still manages so priority for discord would be a good idea.

That beeing said a 5600x would be a big upgrade.

but listen to this post

Op have a 7600k

While 4c/4t CPU is a bit lacking these days, as long as OP is fine with it then he doesn't have to upgrade it yet

I proposed a potential solution to his reason to upgrade, if he still wants to go ahead then sure, it is definitely a significant upgrade, if his tasks are limited by his CPU (which it probably is)

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to build a new PC, primarily for gaming, which I can hopefully keep for at least a couple of years. I have been looking at the AMD 5000-series CPUs. Do you think a 5600x(6C/12T) is enough? I would like to be able to use discord or watch a video on my second monitor without it affecting my games too much.

 

I'm currently on a 7600k (4C/4T). I seem to be CPU bound on some games e.g. Warzone. The game runs decently, but people on discord can not hear me as soon as we join a game. I figured this was because of warzone hugging all of my CPUs resources, right?

 

Also, I know games usually don't utilize a lot of cores, but I would imagine as time passes, more games will be able to utilize more cores?

i think you have other issues since i am running a i7-2700k in warzone and also maxing it out more or less but i have no issue with warzone and discord together.

but yeah a 5600x is very nice CPU that is good for gaming,

It's also $400 for an x60 card... Needs a lot of bang for that much buck. So...

yeeeah ment wouldn't

yeah but looking at the benchmarks it really does do well.
graphic cards has really gone up in price lately. but again depends on what he wants to game and what resolution.

should be fine.

sound like a very decent pairing. but be aware that its very game dependent and resolution.
so esports titles like CSgo the CPU could be a small bottleneck. but in general terms should be a nice pairing.

The Ryzen 5 3500 is just a 3600 without hyperthreading, it'll perform almost identically in games. Should do fine with a 3060 Ti, though I would wait till the AMD response to that card is announced, and the lower-end NVidia SKUs are revealed

i wouldn´t wait, mostly in regards to the feature set on geforce are just better, the thing that would draw me towards AMD graphics are there new memory stuff but that requires a 5000 series ryzen. and lower end i think the 3060TI hits a very good bang for the buck. but its just my opinion.

Have I done anything wrong? The PC functioned perfectly previously, nothing was touched between uses. What should I do from here?

properly not. but a bump or something could cause, dust can also make it short out in rare cases
but i would believe it just a bad PSU you recieved
 

the only way it can trip the circruit breaker (if you are not talking about the RCD) if it uses to many amps. which is likely due to a short so yeah if the PSU was set to 230 and should be 110v or the other way around (i only think old PSU have that switch) 
or just a  damaged PSU.

same as they say only because tis a known brand.

but this post someone has really done the job of investigating.

EDIT: just realized that is what you mentioned in the first part 

first computer in house was 486. 16mb ram, and some mb harddisk  BUT with a soundblaster something sound card.

First personal rig was a AMD Thunderbird, which cooler failed and in those times they didnt declock it just DIED. and thats the only specs i can remember of it.

First OC build was a pentium 4. 2,6ghz single core with a 25% OC. and a 9800GTX card.

any reason not to trust the manufacturers fix?....
as you mention its under warranty so if it doesnt fix it tell them and let them handle it.

I have one 60 mm 12V fan(on card 75 mm) can it solove my problem? with one fan working my card have maximum 70C

that should work fine..

 and one google search provided this:

DKK 78 is more or less 12USD. it might not be the same but damn close

A bit of both competitive esports titles but also looking for good graphics in games. I was planning on the 2060 due to money it’s around 310 USD, what card would you suggest? 

3070 is already out 15/10-2020 so cant be long before the 3060 is out and its seems the 30 series is quite a good upgrade.
i would and look at 30 series cards

Please of info around for this stuff but here it goes.

nope no problem. go for it. most games are far more depending on GPU than CPU and you have a fine CPU. newer titles utilize CPU more but isnt that spread out yet.

But why buy a 2060, its not much faster than 1060 and unless its dirt cheap 30 series is out and alot faster.
hen you say high end gaming, do you mean as in competitive esports title. or actually wanting good graphics in games with a bit lower fps.
i do get you mention 50-60 fps iam just a bit unsure of your goal.

that is just a horrible setup then.
but yes if you could connect to a VPN you would essentially be on the school network. BUT i would talk to the school about this.

have you tried just giving em 12v direct with nothing else? just to see if they run full speed constant
it sounds more like a MB problem then fans.

Hey everyone,

 

I’m currently looking to upgrade my 1060 to either a 70 or 80 out off the 3000 series. I’ve currently got a i7 8700 as cpu and was wondering what your advice would be on what card to buy.

I’m currently gaming on 1080p 144Hz but will upgrade later this year to 1440p 144-165Hz.

 

I know that “real” benchmarks of the 3070 aren’t out yet and I’m not sure if my i7 would bottleneck the performance of the 3080.

 

What do you think I should do?

it wont bottleneck.. just with titles out now,
still no using the multi cores that well.

iam running i i7-2700 yes a sandy bridge and isnt throttling my 1070

For your budget i would not get a 2070 Super  and have an obsolete card in 1 month.

 

Either get the 3070 or 3080, depending on how much performance you need.

 

Or see what AMD releases in their new Navi GPU lineup later this year if you can still wait.

yup 3000 series is actually here in DK from the 17/9 so WAIT and ofcourse get the reviews before. but its rumored to be quite the performance bump

and it would help if you fill out the details that you copy pasted.
budget is only for the computer right? and does that ex or include the 3070? and you have a 980ti you must have other stuff as well so no need for HDD or SSDs ?

but i would just go for AMD ryzen 7 4000 series and some NVME storage. for boot.
mostly looking at your usecase at not strictly gaming the AMD is a good option.

ram it in and check bios settings for it

Holy crap, 10 dollars a month if you want more than 3 applets?

That's terrible.

yeeeah okay 10usd is alot for that. 2 sounds alot better
i do get they need some sort of income.

multiple triggers is gonna be awesome

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I have the exact same PC and can't get it out either. Seems like it's stuck at the IO Shield. Have you gotten it out somehow? 

you can always bent those io shield grappers in then it should slide out.

but from the picture it looks like you must raise the opposite end of the MB until the IO shields buttom can be raised up a bit and then pull it out at an angle.
i have never used that case or IO shield, only going from the looks

Yes

I honestly cant say but this has happened 10+ times

I get an average ping of 18ms to google
 

Not that i could see, i even upped my connection with my broadband provider to 200Mbps 

sounds like a software issue or you are logging on to australian region on new computer and eu on old while living in the EU

are you copying the game from directory or are you making a fresh install of the game?

with all the steps you have tried i would suspect software, and i must admit you have tried the things i would normally suspect. so iam drawing a blank.

your ping is meassured ingame right?
are you connecting to the same server in both cases?
iam guessing when you ping something like google it isnt a problem?

is there alot of updates etc running in background that sucks up all your connection so the game data cant get through?
