new computer not impressed! are new computers garbage?

[slash407]

amd 5600g computer. But it doesnt seem to run as fast as i would have that, I would have thought clicking on file explorer would make it appear instantly, but that didnt happen. The video on some sites would freeze or slow down momentarily too WTHH this never happened with my old computer and its crappy 710 geforce gpu 

 

i also had a xeon 2007 processor in my old computer and this brand new 2021 cpu just slightly runs faster than that??????????wth happened to moores law??????

Have you checked your bios to make sure the proper settings are enabled?  Have you checked your CPU temps?

 

is XMP enabled in bios?

 

is all Ram showing up at the speeds it should be?

 

is your CPU thermal throttling?

 

do you have a bottleneck like a slow old hard drive as your boot drive?

yeah, without any other information than the CPU's ( and the Xeron's 710), the new machine should run circles around the Xeon.

 

So it looks like you either put together a system that hobbles the 5600G and have some performance bottleneck or haven't fully installed drivers or updates?

Following. I've noticed recently my File Explorer takes its sweet time too.

[Mister Woof]

Do you have one drive active?

ssd, temps are fine, rams looking fine too.

I run an Athlon 860k at work which is not a powerhouse by any means, and it opens file explorer nearly instantly. Something is definitely wrong here.

[MrHaydenJr]

if you want advice, please gives more specs on your config, what ssd/hdd? how much ram is installed? is all of your ram showing up properly? what version of windows are you running? maybe a screen shot of task manager (processes/performance view) ? do you have a ton of background programs running? is windows update running in the background and slowing everything down? 

[Mister Woof]

is this a fresh windows install or did you transplant over an old drive with windows

I've found having ANY failing drive (or failed) in the system will cause windows Explorer to hang sometimes for a good minute.  I had a disabled drive once I forgot I had until I started troubleshooting this.  I had it disabled in windows because it was a separate OS boot (Linux).  HDDs tend to fail much more frequently.  I've found the NAS drives don't drag the system down nearly as much when they do though.

i've had more problems with failed SATA drives causing all sorts of problems than anything else in recent history.

this could be apart of it as the secondary drives are slower(their loaded with gbs) but even the main drive is slow, and the transferring of files is real slow too from drive to drive. You pay all this money for a new computer only for a slight increase in perfomance (i dunno about gaming as i could care less about that stuff) 

 

also when u watch a 1080 60p video the computer makes this ticking sound, lmao like its struggling under load or something. Really unimpressed.

The last time I had this the C: drive was a good quality NVME drive (that wasn't bad) and the failed drive was a 500GB Samsung 840 pro.

Broo plz first thing u do with windows is  is search hoogle  -  windows debloater by chris-  then never let windows update your drivers. Update chipset , update bios, turn off c-state

i always thought building your own pc would save u money over buying some dell computer, i just learned the hard way this is bullshit. You pay all this money for such a small increase in performance

I don't think you know what you're talking about. 

 

Look at Onyx in my sig, let me know how I can buy a Dell for less than $2000 that is only slightly less performance?

 

If you're looking at it on the budget side, maybe.  But then you're not pushing boundaries at all and just using a potato where any old potato will do.

 

You're also not comparing actual gameplay, you're looking at spec sheets without understanding the real world aspects.  

 

Do some research.  Or do you think that a 350hp 1969 Camaro and 350hp Tesla are the same performance?

[slash407]

did u even read the thread? i dont care about gaming as i ALREADY said

[Mister Woof]

have you watched this youtube channel called "Just Rolled In?" 

I suspect there maybe some overlap with your experience and the vehicles being brought in there

 

on a more serious note, you need to provide better information than what you've provided if you want to get serious feedback. Blanket statements such as, "i always thought building your own pc would save u money over buying some dell computer, i just learned the hard way this is bullshit. You pay all this money for such a small increase in performance" just shows you aren't receptive to feedback.

 

From what I've gathered, you have a faulty mechanical drive, thus the ticking sound, and that faulty drive is screwing up the rest of your systems performance. Even if the HDD is NOT your boot drive, if it is faulty, it can cause problems. I have personally experienced this myself.

Otherwise, ticking is a mechanical thing. It could be a fan, or other moving part. Nothing else could be attributed to a "tick" sound. Sometimes there's coil whine, but that doesn't seem like it's likely.
