FX4130 Issue

[Tama]

I built my Buddy a PC back in January Specs

AMD FX 4130
Gskill 1600 2x8 9 9 9 24
ASrock 960GM 
Corsair CX 430
PowerColor 7790 Turbo Duo
500gb WD Blue
Fractal Core 1000 Case

Getting random CPU core clock drops to 1.4 ghz

I am currently overclocked to 4.4 ghz with 1.475 volts

Spread spectrum Off
C state Disabled
Cool and Quiet Dissabled
Thermal Throttle Disabled

Is there anything else that needs to be turned off because random Frame drops to 30 in battlefield are pissing him off
 

Not overclocking Isnt really an option as he is getting to about 95% cpu usage

And before any of you say shoulda got the 6100 for $20 more, We got the 4130 from MC for $50  brand new

 

[Priller]

Turn C1E and APM off as well.

 

I would have gotten the 8320 for 99 form MC.

It will only go to 1.4ghz under a heavy load such as a game

Check that APM is off in the bios and that the board has the latest Bios on it.

 

It is a 960 board after all. I wouldn't expect much from it.

Thanks Man I didnt Know I had to Turn that off Im going t try again now, I updated the bios last week

[Tama]

Damn Its still doing it

[Valhallatier]

try updating mobo chipset

Remove the voltage and overclock and see if it still downclocks the CPU.

Just  Reset Bios to defaults 

I disabled:

Spread Spectrum

C1E

Cstate

Cool n Quiet

Thermal Throttleing

APM

Stock Clocks 3.815.55 MHz Not currently seeing any dips at all been running OCCT Large Data Set Sub 41c

EDIT: I also Set the ram to DDR3 -1600

Auto Voltage

Edit:

 

Get a different board. 

 

760 chipset wasnt made for FX.

960 GM Am3+ ? http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/960GMU3S3%20FX/

It looks like it has a 4+1 power delivery system with NO heatsink over the northbridge.

 

On the site you just linked it says:

 

- Northbridge: AMD 760G

- Southbridge: AMD SB710

[Tama]

What should I do? Its already to late to return the motherboard to newegg. there isnt any settings I can adjust to leave it at 3.8ghz without it throttleing like this

Sell it and buy something else.

 

You said you turned off:

 

C1E

Cstate

Cool n Quiet

Thermal Throttleing

APM

 

With those off the CPU should receive no downclocking at all and not even throttle when it got hot enough to do so.

Should I try to boot it into performance mode? IDK WTF that is

The chip set is 960, but I still agree it was not meant for FX, invest in a 990fx board. 

[Tama]

damn, there should be no reason IT just wont work, The fuck is the point of this board then, why even make it am3+

You can try almost anything but you may still run into issues.

No. According to the manufacturer of the board it is a 760 chipset. They call it a 960 because it has an AM3+ socket and it does have support for some of the same features as 970s and 990s.

 

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/960GMU3S3%20FX/?cat=Specifications

 

It has - Integrated AMD Radeon 3000 graphics

 

While the 880 series boards had built in 4250 graphics. So it's absolutely a 760 chipset.

Lol wow its worst then i though, I wouldn't go under 990fx anyway haha

Damn I knew I should Have made him pick out the MSI one without the USB 3.0 for the same price

[Priller]

damn, there should be no reason IT just wont work, The fuck is the point of this board then, why even make it am3+

 

AM3+ allows some flexibility and you can still use AM3 CPUs with that socket.

 

It was made because it was cheap for them to do so while "adding support for AM3+ 8 Core CPUs" based off of what they already had.

And you would still be in a similar board issue. MSI with AMD just dont get along.

 

Asus or Gigabyte. Spend the 120-130 US on a decent board and you'll be ok for all but extreme overclocking.

 

Even a couple of the Asrock 990FX boards arent that bad either.

The problem is he has a mAtx case, what 990fx will fit

None.

 

More extensive research before buying and building would have saved alot of time, effort, headache, and pain in this situation.
