Ok i'll try those, i do gaming and multitasking so i might not need the most stable system ever. I will try to OC higher but after i get an aftermarket cooler

Hi guys, i recently got a GTX 1080 to pair with my Ryzen 5 1600, so i decided to OC it a bit with its stock cooler. I got it to 3.8 Ghz on all cores, ran AIDA64 for some hours and it did not crash. I did not change the stock voltage and it hits 1.25 V max at a max temp of 73C. Now i am wondering if i hit the silicon lottery or something, because from what i have seen 3.8 Ghz on stock voltage is pretty rare. Maybe i need to test stability for longer? Maybe my slow 2133 RAM helps in this case? Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Yeah i have noticed that cranking the graphics up does not affect performance very much in these games. What i do not understand is how Ryzen is considered to be just slightly worse than Intel gaming wise, when it obviously is pretty far off. Maybe RAM freq is that much important, which does not help its case since RAM is so expensive now.

Hello guys, i recently bought a GTX 1080 for my PC. I have a Ryzen 5 1600 OC to 3.8ghz with 8GB of 2133 Mhz RAM (will get faster and more RAM later) and a 144 Hz 1080p monitor. I have noticed that GPU usage and FPS is lower than it should be in a lot of games, such as LoL, War Thunder, CSGO, etc. I can get 144 fps no problem in Witcher 3 for example, which is much more intensive than these games, but struggle to get more than 110 fps in these games. Any ideas what might cause this? Is RAM frequency that important? Thanks in advance!

That is correct if i had bought the monitor first. Anyway ryzen is decent for 144 hz gaming from what i've seen from benchmarks, just my pc acting up

Not when u have a 144hz monitor

I get 110 fps tops in LoL and CSGO, from what i've seen i should he able to get 200+. It is too drastic to be just IPC and RAM.

CPU temps are around 40-50 degress celsius under gaming load. GPU around 80 degrees, but i monitor the clock and it does not drop. It is not throttling, it just does not bother to put any stress on the GPU. In LoL it does not even consider it as a game, the GPU clock is wayy lower than a gaming clock load and temps are around 55 degrees celsius

Yep latest drivers.

I get the same results as in benchmarks with a lot of games, while i get abyssmal results in others, such as LoL and CSGO in particular where the GPU is not used that much. The GTX 970 has 3.5GB of usable VRAM. I have tried different settings, but if i lower the settings on CSGO and LoL for example the FPS does not go up, instead the GPU clock goes down.

Well pricing is outrageous right now that is why i chose that. You think the RAM alone could cause the GPU to not get utilized?

Hello guys, i've recently built a new gaming PC and i have noticed that it underperforms in some games. From my understanding this happens mostly in titles that are not so GPU intensive (LoL, CSGO, War Thunder). What happens is that the GPU is not utilized to its full potential and the framerate is much lower than expected. One thing i have recently noticed in Far Cry 5 is that when i am in a crowded area the FPS is lower as expected, but the GPU is quieter and cooler, while if i go in remote areas where the FPS goes much higher, the GPU is very loud and very hot. I am not sure what might cause this, because i am sure i am supposed to get much higher framerates on LoL, CSGO and War Thunder. Thanks in advance! Here are my full specs: GPU: GTX 970 SSC EVGA CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 stock MOBO: MSI B350 PC Mate SSD: PNY CS900 240GB Storage: 1TB Western Digital Blue PSU: Corsair Vengeance 550M Memory: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 2133 Mhz Case: Phanteks P400 TG

I have already tried changing all these settings, it does not help.

Hello guys, i recently bought a new monitor, the XL2411 by BenQ and since then after the monitor display goes off because of being idle for too much time, the PC restarts itself. It has never restarted itself prior to getting this monitor and does not restart while i am doing stuff on the PC. Any ideas what might cause this? Thanks in advance!

I actually picked like the cheapest black PCB board because i don't really need any fancy feature. Now i kinda regret it because i would have gotten better compatibility with higher end boards.
