Posted October 25, 2022 I'm looking to get a CPU upgrade for my gaming rig but I get lost in al the different options. My current CPU 4930K which is overclocked to 4.6Ghz isn't cutting it anymore. Crashes, stuttering and big fps lost in most games. I mostly use my machine for gaming and not much else. I also want a m.2 ssd so I can place my most played games on there(I hate loading times) I have a 1000W power supply and 3070 and game at 1440p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 25, 2022 X79 boards go 100$+ pretty easily so id see that cpu + board going for somewhere around 150$ Full system specs? You likely only need a cpu + gpu + ram upgrade Also whats the budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 26, 2022 You definitely should upgrade but I'm curious as to what issues you're having with the 4930k? That really shouldn't be having any crashing or stuttering at 1440p. Honestly, you sure it's not something else going on? Doesn't really seem cpu related at first glance unless it's degradation. You try backing off the CPU voltage/clocks a couple hundred MHz to see if things run a bit more stable yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think that the crashes are more related to bad software(windows and forza). My cpu seems stable enough in other applications. Also my quest 2 link cable won't work on my cases usb c(3.1) It says it's only usb 2.1 but I'm using a pci to usb3.1 adapter but it should support those speeds.

You try backing off the CPU voltage/clocks a couple hundred MHz to see if things run a bit more stable yet? i agree, on the other hand, the cpu is ancient, and, no, it cannot keep up with a 3070... no way lol. OP i would suggest anything from a intel 10 series/ ryzen 3600 and up... you'll need a motherboard and ram too, so maybe a 11700k would fit in your budget? not the newest, but still a beast. or 5800x3d for amd... something in that ballpark.
