FPS Spikes

[DirtyLogics]

So I recently replace my CPU from a AMD 4130 to a AMD 8350 and added a Hyper 212.I couldn't figure out how to mount it vertically so I installed it horizontal.I thought at first my hard drive was messed up because it was random spikes and not constant.My GPU gets really hot to the touch on games.However im not sure what the temps should be for it.I have a GTX 550 TI.Is it my graphics card overheating or my CPU.Whats the issue ? Could I have installed the CPU Cooler Wrong ?

1. Did you clean the thermal paste from the cooler and apply new thermal paste?

2. Did you plug the fans into the CPU fan headers?

the 550 Ti is not a very good graphics card so it might just not be able to handle the games

[Internstarz]

Your temps looks pretty average. Your card may be throttling itself once you've been gaming for awhile. I recommend downloading Gigabyte's OC Guru and viewing the graphs of temp and speed.

Post a picture after you've been gaming for a little while of the OC Guru.

The GPU temps look fine, but i'm worried about the CPU temps. 50c idle is a bit much.

 

Did you use too much thermal paste? Also, your 212 EVO should be blowing air out the arse of the case, not upwards.

[DirtyLogics]

I couldn't mount the hyper 212 any other way the screws just wouldn't fit and the cpu had no previous thermal paste.I messed up the thermal paste a bit while placing the cpu cooler over and over again but I didn't fit it.Looked fine.

[DirtyLogics]

By the way the OC program you posted doesn't support my Graphics card.its a PNY 550 Ti Boost.

[DirtyLogics]

The spike only happens while im streaming.Which requires a lot of cpu.But my cpu doesn't go over 30%.

[Internstarz]

Upload a picture of your temps while streaming.

[DirtyLogics]

Something I noticed while looking at my cpu temps is that they constantly go up and down not much but by like 10.

I just happened to think, are you using OBS to stream? You may need to set a limit on your stream rate (KB/s). Also, look at your dropped frames. Are you dropping any frames at all? If so you may need to adjust your settings because you are using a mid level GPU.

[DirtyLogics]

Yes im using OBS , My Internet speed is 90mbps / 90mbps.Max Bitrate is 3500 buffer size is 3500.CBR is on.Audio Encoding AAA , 48kHz.Audio Bitrate : 128.Channel Stereo.Never Drop a frame in obs just in game.

[Internstarz]

You may have the internet speeds for it, but what if your GPU cannot handle dishing out that many frames? That's why I recommend looking at the dropped frames count at the bottom of OSB near bit rate.

[DirtyLogics]

Yeah I don't drop frames though.

Download GPU-Z and see if you are able to find a graph of your GPU utilization. http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

 

Post a picture after a little bit of gaming / streaming. Thanks!

[DirtyLogics]

The cpu load is pretty wrong considering it only went down cause I had to x out of the game to see the graph.

[DirtyLogics]

Anyone here to still try and help me ?

[Internstarz]

Sorry had to drive home from work. Can you post that picture again? It's coming up as not found.

[Kimmaz]

I've noticed from my own system that the "fx-8350->package" temp is identical to the motherboard TMPIN2 and that the CPU temp listed under the motherboard is actually the cpu temp (in your case its 50°C) Id say thats kind of high compared to my temps altho I use watercooling and I have not overclocked:

As you can see my CPU temp is 51°C under load...!

[Internstarz]

Everything looks fine to me. If you are running with air cooling, it is expected that your idle temps will be decently high. Also your GPU temps look pretty good under full load, nothing to worry about there. I see a good functioning machine here.

 

If you want to see any more improvement on your CPU temps, buy some premium thermal paste and reapply. You can do this to your GPU as well

[DirtyLogics]

Still whats causing the fps to drop ? It drops then goes back to normal.

[Internstarz]

There are tons of things that could cause frames to drop. Scenes of intense graphics, movement, color, cut scenes, loading scenes, etc. If your issue only comes when you stream, then I suggest you keep turning down the resolution settings on your stream until it stops.

 

Another option just occurred to me. If you care more about your viewing pleasure while streaming, and still want to stream at the higher resolution, open up task manager and set your game process's priority to high or real time. Follow this guide for a brief how - to. It was made in Windows XP, but the buttons are still all the same.
