    The AV will proactively scan EVERY file accessed. Load a game? It AV scans the file before the game can access it. Open a web page? It will AV scan the cached data as it is written to the HDD. Process Monitor, Process Explorer, and Resource Monitor are some tools from MS that you can use to further chase down resource usage. PM and PE can be downloaded from MS, RM comes with Windows and can be accessed from the performance tab of task manager.

    Uninstall your AV and see if the problem goes away, Windows has built in AV that will take over. If it doesnt change, just re-install your old AV.

    The AV can also cause the OS to bloat caches leading to high memory usage that is not reported in the task manager process/detail tabs.
  4. KarathKasun
    Look at its power/CPU usage. ALSO, AV can cause your OS filesystem caches to bloat insanely, leading to stealth high memory usage.

    Its your antivirus. I personally havent used anything but Windows defender for the past ~5 years and havent had a problem. Nearly every other AV suite available has had issues at one point or another with CPU usage due to bugs. The real problem is that these bugs do not tend to get fixed quickly.

    It also makes porting easier since you are effectively just describing what the actual source code does. Psuedocode is something like this... create variable x ask for user input store user input in variable x find the square root of x display variable x

    Its not AM3, its FM2+ I think. Best CPU is the same BD type CPU. @CrAzY156 Best way to think about BD cores is that what you have now is a single core with SMT. The best CPU for that MB is a dual core with SMT. FX-8000 series AM3 CPU is like a quad core with SMT.
  8. KarathKasun
    BD is not significantly faster for light games. Its the same architecture and requires motherboards that are difficult to find if you want to get clock speeds up.

    To really check your PSU, you would need a scope.

    Not to mention the difficulty of plating the inside of a rad from a technical point of view. Also, that nickel will erode and flake off over time. Raw copper is the better long term investment.
  11. KarathKasun
    Negative. The only problem is when you have different timings.
  12. KarathKasun
    Your stuff is nickel plated copper. There are no plated radiators.

    PSU output is poorly regulated. If the PSU is older, the caps are degraded beyond the point of being able to smooth the output.

    LOL, no. FX-8350 @ 4.8ghz FO4 (1080p/medium settings) RX 560 1024sp/2gb, ~80% usage, 30-70 FPS, avg ~40. GTX 670 4gb, ~60% usage, 30-90 FPS, avg ~45. Borderlands 2 (1080p/high settings) RX 560 1024sp/2gb, ~90% usage, 30-80 FPS, avg ~45. GTX 670 4gb, ~75% usage, 30-100 FPS, avg ~50. You may say "that doesnt seem too bad", but the FPS swings wildly depending on what you are looking at. It makes it nearly impossible to track enemies. The problem just gets worse as you add higher end GPUs. The lows stay the same but FPS shoots way up when you are not looking toward more complex areas of the map. Same GPU/settings on an i7-2600k @ 4.2ghz result in nearly double the minimum FPS. With CPU intensive games, even some relatively simple games with lots of stuff going on, FX is horrid.

    Not mixing sticks, using 2x of the exact same stick because its cheaper.
  16. KarathKasun
    No. The core resources are tied to each memory controller, each module removed would reduce performance. And you dont know how to edit the VBIOS to disable parts of the chip.
  17. KarathKasun
    Its a Buldozer core APU. A6 5400 I think.
  18. KarathKasun
    Lower setting makes the situation worse, much larger FPS swings. Just run 1080p/high.
  19. KarathKasun
    Same model single sticks are fine.
  20. KarathKasun
    RX 570 can be had for $110. It is twice as powerful as the RX 560. HOWEVER, the core system will keep you from seeing any huge benefits. FX limits performance of even the RX 560. I know from experience with my old 4.8ghz FX-8350 rig. FX is garbage. It has less than half of the performance of the i7-4770 in many games.
  21. KarathKasun
    It will be limited by a ton if the OP is using minimum details. An FX-8350 limits performance of an RX 560 in most games (medium/1080p) and that is a less powerful GPU. If you want above 60 FPS, that CPU is garbage. If you want ~60 FPS with lots of eye candy, it is serviceable.
  22. KarathKasun
    The 144hz monitor benefit can be had any time your FPS is in excess of ~80. Plus, monitors tend to be used for a few builds into the future, and it gives you room to grow performance wise.
  23. KarathKasun
    That is a Bulldozer APU, its CPU core is roughly half as powerful as a Ryzen core at the same clock speed. 4 core 4 thread Ryzen can do ~70% more work at the same clock as a 4 core 4 thread bulldozer. Your CPU sucks is what I am saying. The only way a GPU will help your FPS is if you are pushing 1080p or so with medium/high settings. If you are trying to do the CS:GO thing, and run lowest settings to get 200+FPS, the GPU will not help at all.

    4 speakers + a sub is 4.1 surround. You put the speakers equally in front and behind and it will mix the two to give you side sounds.

    That is not evidence. It is correlation, which is not the same as causation.
