Still problem with my computer

[TheMightyGranny]

Hey guys!

 

I recently bought a i7-3770k, ASRock Fatality performance and 16 gigs of vengance. However, my computer is slower now then before the "upgrade".

I have reinstalled my windows and all the drivers are up to date. I also have a remarkable fps-drop in-game (LoL, BF3 etc.) The computer just feels much slower now. What the h*ll is the problem?

 

My gpu is a GTX 660 from Gigabyte

What do you mean by slower? Just fps drops?

 

 

Take it all apart and do it again lol...

Get a ssd? What were your specs before the upgrade? The 3770k really isn't the best "gaming" CPU, and you would be fine with just a 3570k if you are purely gaming.

Well, a abit late for that maybe?

Its not performing good enough, my i5 760 works better with anything then this i7. And no, that wouldnt be necessary

is the computer set to high performance power setting?

is the HDD set to AHCI?

have you tried turning off hyperthreading while gaming?

are you playing stuff at the same settings?

is this in windows as well,or is it just feeling slower during games?

Yes

not sure

no

all at settings that match my gpu-power

and yes also in windows, starts lagging if I have many tabs open in chrome(max 10 tabs) 

I have actually no idea how to turn hyperthreading off btw..

it should be in the bios,typically in the same part where you have the option to disable cores.

 

when you say all at settings that match my gpu power,what does that mean?

try putting the GTX 660 into your i5 760 system and try those same settings,does it work worse,the same,or better?

 

as for AHCI,go to the bios,look for the HDD settings,should have a part where you can select between 

-IDE

-RAID

-AHCI

pick AHCI.

 

after this you'll need to reinstall windows if it was not already set to this when you installed windows.

 

 

what are your temps?the cpu may throttling itself down.

download somethign like realtemp,coretemp,or hwinfo to monitor cpu temps.

 

download something like crystaldiskmark and test the HDD speed,then post your sequential read and write speeds for 500MB

another thing to check is make sure your ram frequencies are set right I lost 10-20% fps in a couple games because I forgot to set my ram from 1333mhz to 1866mhz after a cmos reset

Im maxing out the games i can if I get 50-60 fps, in bf3 High-settings for example.

The HDD is set to AHCI. The temperatures is 40 celsius idle and 65 at max load with the stock cooler.

I tried some other HDD test and max read was 145 mb/s and lowest 56 mb/s

I thought that was the problem at beginning too, apparently so was not case ( it was actually at 1866mhz instead of 1600)

I have HT on right now. Running w7 HP 64-bit

Did you do a memory check? Maybe the dims are defective.

I ran memtest 86+ and no errors

Any other idea?

I am not sure. Maybe use google and see if other people with the same hardware have the same issue?
