AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF Problems

[Bon]

I think my CPU is bottlenecking but I'm not sure, any feedback and suggestions helps (I'm technologically illiterate)

 

I have an RTX 2070

Adata DDR4 3000 2x8GB

RM850 Power Supply

(If you need to know any more specs I can figure it out)

and why do you think its bottlenecking you?

That was just something that a friend suggested might be happening. When I do userbenchmark everything is performing at their expectations exept my CPU. (Which is at 2nd percentile)

So you're trying to play at high frame .rates?

Well if you pair a 2070 with technically Zen + then it is gonna get bottlenecked in 1080p gaming

userbenchmark is garbage. Dont trust it.

Yeah Overwatch is alwasy sub 100 fps and Minecraft is pretty low consistently

Maybe consider getting atleast a 3600

so I would have to buy a new CPU?

@Bon

Don't worry about it, friend.

Windows was probably updating in the background when you ran that benchmark.

I feel like something is wrong though because I have consistently lower FPS then I think I should have, like 10-20 in Minecraft and 60-70 in Overwatch

In that case, I'll ask you to check the temperatures with HWiNFO in "sensor-only" mode. If you could log while gaming, that would be even better.

Does this provide any more information?

Yes. Your CPU is limited to a lower clock for some reason. It should be between 3.2 & 3.6 GHz when loaded, but it is peaking at 2.8 GHz.

 

If you scoll down, there should be temperature and power data.

No, it doesn't really provide any information.

 

At the moment you took that picture, your computer isn't doing much work, so your processor is reducing the frequency of all cores to 1546 Mhz and reduces the voltage to 0.8v

 

To get a proper reading you would have to be inside a game, playing a game.

Start HW INfo, move it into a corner of your screen, then start a game and go in options and choose to run the game in Window mode, in a resolution that's smaller than your screen.

This way you'll be able to play your game while you can also see HW Info running in the corner and refreshing that information.

 

You'll want to scroll down in HW Info to the section that shows the CPU cores load percentage, and also the temperature of all cores.

If your vertical resolution is too low, you can go in HW info and disable some sections, right click in various places and select disable or don't show or whatever option hides that section.

 

HW Info may also have a section that shows the temperatures and the load of the video card.

 

Basically it's like this... if you're playing games and the temperature of the CPU is in the 70-90 degrees celsius and the frequency on the cores is lower than the default frequency of the 1600 AF  ( 3200 Mhz  base frequency,  3600 Mhz boost)  then that is a sign that your processor overheats, maybe the cpu cooler is loose or not working properly.  It means you may have to check the cooler or replace it.

 

If the CPU is reasonably cool and you see at least some cores running at somewhere around 3200-3600 Mhz, then your CPU is fine.

 

You can also look at GPU load and temperature...  if the GPU load is on average quite low and the processor is very used,  it means the gpu is waiting after the processor. Some games use a lot of cpu for its AI, especially strategy games.

 

The 2070 video card is quite powerful. The GPU load may be low if you're playing at low resolutions or low detail,  because the gpu simply finishes each frame too fast, and then has nothing to do.
