My gameplay feels worse when the temperatures are high though?

No actual crashes but CPU gets to 80-90C while gaming/rendering, current solution to drop temp down to 60-70C is a standing fan (used for when the weather is hot). while the case is open on one side (air blowing into it). When playing games like Fortnite I maintain high FPS but the game feels really bad and laggy despite this. With the following build: (image in thread), running the case fans + prism RGB Cooler (came with CPU). What kind of cooling should I get to prevent these high temperatures and bad feeling gameplay? Should I go with water cooling? Should I install another case fan? Should I get a better fan cooler? (I'm looking to overclock the 3900x for gaming in the future as well so would like my RIG t o be very cool (literally). Thanks, Leon.

Looking for quick answers, looking to play Fortnite Battle Royale (CPU intensive endgames). Thanks

+ Are there any compatibility issues? Thanks.

I would get i9 9900k though

Thanks, everyone plays on lowest settings and are still competing for FPS end game though. Would a motherboard for the 3900x or i9 9900k be cheaper? Because the only reason I would get the 3900x over the i9 9900k is because of the included cooler...

idk probably not though since pros all use super high end cpus...

I'm in a similar boat should I purchase a i9 9900k or Ryzen 3900x for fortnite? Is it possible for a certain chip to be more optimized for a specific game? The advantage of the Ryzen chip for me is the included cooler...

Fortnite perhaps? Competitive end games are extremely CPU Intensive

Not initially but I would like room to do so.

Hello, I have a 1080ti I wish to pair with the: AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8 CORE 16 THREAD 4.4GHZ AM4 36MB WITH WRAITH PRISM COOLER, What powersupply, motherboard and ram would you guys recommend for this CPU and GPU and will I require any extra cooling? Thanks.

What kind of cooling would you guys recommend, I would prefer to stay away from water cooling. Regards, Leon.

probably around 60 in the end game

Now imagine your experience but with a small circle moving with 30-40 people battling it out to stay alive, I'm also on 144hz so 60fps is not ideal...

1080p, but before you go any further keep in mind I play fortnite at a high level so the end games are very cpu intensive therefore I want to upgrade CPU.

have been using this CPU since 2014 (if that makes a difference)

My performance is poor in a lot of games though

I7 4790 @ 3.6ghz

Upgrading an existing one (1080ti, old shit motherboard and power supply)

I'm thinking about getting a Ryzen 7 2700x to pair with my 1080ti, is this a good choice of CPU and if it is what Motherboard would you guys recommend (as cheap as possible)? Regards, Leon.

I'm considering upgrading my cpu and motherboard soon, what precautions should I take and tests should I do to ensure my graphics card is fine?

Hi, I recently posted on this forum regarding gpu artifacts appearing and crashing my computer: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1059562-what-is-going-on/?tab=comments#comment-12526176. I was told that it was dodgy video ram and that I should buy a new graphics card, however before doing so I decided to reseat my GPU, remove dust from the card and spray it with some of that spray that's good for components, once I rebooted the PC and reset it and reinstalled the drivers I haven't had any problems (at all) and its been around 3 days of hardcore gaming, am I out of the woods (explanation for what fixed it) or is the worse still to come. Thanks, Leon.

Why is my performance still fine though, I benchmark at the standard of my card...
