I'm currently looking into getting a different cpu, an i7-2700k is the best cpu for my socket and i just cant seem to find one at the moment. My Gpu supported bus is PCIE 3.0, but my mobo only supports 2.0, will that have a dramatic affect on performance?

I know an ssd is way faster than a hard drive. But my loading speeds aren't really a problem for me, i actually consider my current speed pretty fast. Plus i'm looking for Fps Boost

I Just Ordered My first 144hz Monitor And cant wait but in some games i cant reach anywhere near 144 fps not sure if its due to a bottleneck or not but here are some specs, also will provide rough estimates on the avg fps for each game i play. Cpu: Intel Xeon E3-1230 3.2GHz 16Gb ram (8 usable, weird issue needs fixing or new ram) Msi Gtx 1060 6gb a couple different Hdd, No ssd Raidmax 500W ATX Power Supply Don't know if some games are more hungry for cpu or gpu resources but here's the Avg Fps for games; Also Just a question But If i still have low fps on a high refresh rate monitor, will it act as a real time refresh rate monitor? Like is there any downside to low fps on a high fresh rate monitor ? reverse tearing lol

Yeah sorry for not clarifying but why has the new stick gone sour as well?

A little background info before i get started. I have Two 8Gb Stick of ram which will be reffered to as Stick1 And Stick2. Originally started off with a single stick of ram (stick1) but shortly after i got my pc to post without shutting off, it just stop posting. Bought a new ram stick(stick2) and everything is fine. Im not able to get my pc to post with Stick1 by itself but it i combine stick2 and stick1 in dual channel config with stick 2 in the first slot, i can post with 12gb of ram total. basically stick1 is only showing up as a 4gb stick of ram rather the full 8gbs. Now all of my both ram sticks are being recognized as 4gb sticks rather than two 8gb sticks. Stick1 is indeed bad but couldnt be returned without receipt

Yes indeed that is the mobo. Honestly that's what I'm thinking at this point, none of the the lga 1155 coolers come close to fitting

You know, at this point, that's not a bad idea. But I reckon I'll just make a mount with one of the cooler I've bought

Not a retail one but pulled from a hp z210. Motherboard already has a proprietary 18pin power socket so wouldnt be much of surprise to find a proprietary cooler as well

I need to find what cpu coolers are compatible with me Xeon e3-1230 cpu, the socket listed is lga 1155 and I've bought multiple coolers that are compatible with that socket but none seem to fit

Basically my only fix is to perform a refresh with adrenaline software installed which is where i'm currently at. That way i can utilize my GPU without the performance issue. Everything is going fine except i need adrenaline software in order to configure display settings.

After the refresh i still had my Radeon R5 graphics listed in device manager which is kinda weird but basically if i installed Adrenaline software prior to the refresh, i would have my GPU listed in device manager after the refresh, However if i uninstalled Adrenaline software prior to the refresh, i'd have windows basic display driver.

So I've just performed a refresh on my laptop to get rid of a performance issue I've been having. I've tested games like cs go and Black ops 2 on the laptop after the refresh and every was working fine, 60+ fps with no stuttering. My problem arose when i connected my laptop to an external monitor, the resolution and scaling were messed up so i installed amd's adrenaline software to fix it, which it did. but now my fps has taken a hit and there is stuttering every few seconds. I have adjusted all of Amd's Setting for best performance and nothing is working. My fps isn't always low it goes up and them goes down and repeats, sorta like reving a car engine repeatedly. Laptop Specs: HP 15-f387wm CPU: A8-7410 APU with Radeon R5 Graphics Ram: 12 gb, 10.9 usable & 1024 mb allocated for gpu

How exactly would i go about doing that?

Overheating is not likely the issue, when i replaced the hard drive i did make sure to clean the laptop a bit. But how would i go about using DDU? I've only read about it online when researching my issue and never really considered using it.

*UPDATE* i've just used DDU to uninstall the AMD drivers and reinstalled the latest driver but i am still experiencing the same issues which lead me to think that this may be caused by windows or power management, not the display drivers. I've been playing CS:GO on an laptop i had lying around after i had fixed it.The laptop had a bad HDD that need replacing, but that shouldn't have much to do with its current problem i think.Once i performed a clean installation of Windows 10 Home edition Cs go ran very well at 70-100 fps and was very smooth .But after a while i had a major fps drop like 20-30 fps with constant stuttering and no matter what i do i cant seem to get the fps back up.Shortly after i ran into a problem where i had to do another clean installation of windows and that fixed the problem temporarily. I'm now back in the same place with 20-30 fps.I've had to do another fresh install of windows and everything was working fine, i downloaded some apps: chrome, steam, csgo, java, and AMD Adrenalin(19.5.2). Once everything was installed i ran up csgo and everything was great for awhile. Unfortunately days later i had the same issue where out of the blue my computers performance plummeted .My Cs go Setting Are All set to the lowest setting in 4:3 aspect ratio which sometimes gets stretched. I also play offline with bots on alpha map to maximize fps.For those who might be wondering why i even bother, i use cs go to warm up my aim so i can play other games on a separate desktop or M&K supported games on console. Also, I've posted this on a separate forum and was recommended to go into my bios and increase the amount of dedicated memory to the GPU. That didn't work as i have no access to the advance tab in my bios settings. Computer Specs:HP 15-f387wmCPU: A8-7410 APU with Radeon R5 Graphics Ram 4 GB( was 12 But i removed the second module(8GB) which comes from a different manufacture(Kingston) as i thought that was the culprit, both ram modules are compatible with one another"Also, removing the second module didn't affect performance.Things I've tried:-Going into AMD Radeon Settings and adjusting all for maximum performance-Set windows to High Performance-Set AMD graphics profile to optimize for best performance-Set windows animation setting for best performance-Reinstalling AMD video drivers
