I have FPS bug

[BroMcBrostein]

So the thing is that I have FPS bug or lag (Not really sure which it is) in almost every game I play. When I play for example BF 3 my FPS does some kind of stuttering or lagging even tho I'm supposed to have good FPS. I have noticed this happening in BF 3, Chivalry, DayZ Standalone and in WoW (Only MoP area when I'm flying). I have tried Vsync on/off, restarting my computer and such. The thing that's odd to me about this, is that The FPS lag doesn't start immediately when I play the game. It usually takes about 2min in BF and about 10min in Chivalry. I haven't noticed anything funny in the heat levels except once my prosessor had one core about 130°C and other cores about 70°C but this was after about 6h gaming (some short periods on idle mode during the time). The picture included is few minutes after playing about an hour of Chivalry.

 

You can see the specs from the picture included

Games are heavily single threaded, so the 130 degrees core is the one that is getting tasked. Try running prime 95 (a CPU torture test that loads all cores at 100%), and see if you regain those temps. If your CPU is truly hitting 130 degrees (have HW monitor open while testing) then you need to change your thermal paste out / consider getting a different cooler.

A temp that high would cause massive throttling (slowing down of the CPU to protect from heat damage) and probably create the stuttering in game.

130 C on a core? Uh, i'm pretty sure at that temperature the thermal limit would have been reached and your computer would have shut down if those were correct temperatures.

Well yes it seems quite odd for a CPU to have a 60°C difference between one core and the others

Okay so I ran the stress test and the CPU's Core #2 jumped to 124°C before my computer froze and blue screened. The other cores were 50-70°C

Sounds like you got a bad CPU, man. That's definitely not a bad cooling mount.

There's no way the thermal differences can be that big without having a bad CPU.

 

Your GPU is also getting very hot.

Suggest undusting it and checking your airflow out.

Okay well I was thinking of buying i7-3930K to replace it. There won't be any problems fitting it in like different type of pins or such, right? I mean they are both from Intel

Which one do you currently have? I can barely read the image you attached

i7-2600k

i7-2600k

Ah' then you'll have trouble upgrading it. That processor has a much different socket.

What kind of? My friend said that I wouldn't have problems with upgrading

The 2600k has an LGA1155 socket, the 3930k has an LGA2011 socket.

It won't fit.

 

Even if it had the same socket, the motherboard probably still wouldn't have worked with it unless there was a BIOS update.

 

Either way, if you want a 3930k, you'll need a new mobo.

 

Although, might I suggest you reinstall your CPU cooling after properly cleaning it and properly applying new thermal paste, just to see if it'll work?

Adding to the problems I mentioned earlier, my computer has blue screened at least 4 times in the last few months

What cooler do you have on that CPU? You should try removing whatever it is and cleaning it off, then applying new thermal paste. Temperatures of 125 are far too high for a CPU and would explain blue screening. JVH is right that it may be a bad CPU (especially since only one core is taking a beating and the rest seem normal), but it could also be a horribly mounted or malfunctioning CPU cooler (which would cost 30$ max to fix, less than 10$ if you just reapply thermal paste.) Whereas a new CPU (i7 3770k is the best on your socket) 300$ +.

I believe it's this one http://asetek.com/desktop/cpu-coolers/550lc.aspx but I'm not 100% since this is package computer by Asus. I don't believe that it's about the thermal paste since I have used this computer for three years and never touched the CPU cooler.

 

Adding to the fact that this is over three years old computer, I think it's time to upgrade it anyway

Considering that then I'd agree that it is a CPU problem. So your options are stay on LGA 1155 and get the i7 3770k (or 3570k i5 if you want) and dont replace the mobo, or move to LGA 1150 and get any of the LGA 1150 processors (assuming the i7 4790k because you were looking at the 3930k) or get a 2011 motherboard and get the 3930k. All of these are pretty substantial upgrades but you can keep everything else in your system.

So it won't cause me any problems to upgrade to i7 4790k even tho it's LGA 1050?

No you need to get a 1150 motherboard for the 4000 series (or pentium anniversary) processors, sorry if that wasn't clear

Okay I replaced my mobo with Asus Maximus VII Ranger and CPU with i7 4790k And everything is working perfectly now
