AMD FX8350 abnormally slow?

Hello! My 8350 seems to be very slow in most games...

BF3 with the 2 770s only get me 60-100ish (more close to constant 70 avg) fps on Ultra

CS:GO... on med-high it's getting me 80-150 (average about 100) 

Something has to be wrong here..

 

Specs:

2x ASUS DirectCU II GTX 770

ASRock 990FX Extreme4 Mobo

Corsair Dominator Plat. 8gb

Corsair H100i

Corsair hx850 850w psu

(obviously) AMD FX 8350 @ 4.3ghz

CM Storm Stryker Case

 

edit: forgot to note the ram is 2400mhz freq. ram, downclocked default in BIOS to some setting that is not any of the normal freqs of ram.

Have you overclocked your 770's?

What kind of display are you using? If it's 60hz, you shouldn't even worry.

 

Also, is your 8350 overclocked?

Does the CPU or GPU usage go to 100% in games? 

CPU: AMD 3950x Mobo: MSI B550 RAM: 32GB DDR4 GPU: Asus 3080 Strix PSU: Superflower Leadex 3 720w Case: BeQuiet 500DX

Storage: 2TB SSD + 4TB HDD Audio: SMSL 793ii -> HiFiman HE-400 + Mission MS-50 Speakers

I've overclocked the GPUs.

I'm using a shitty SHARP "kitchen style" monitor until my ASUS 144hz comes in on friday.

 

The 8350 is overclocked to 4.3 ghz, about to OC more in a few minutes,

No. The CPU/GPU temps: (prepare for lols) CPU: max it's been IN GAME is 18, GPU: MAX IT'S BEEN IS 40 IN GAME

 

Edit: been playing for ~45 mins and the temp has stayed at a steady 18C

Ok, well it might not be just be the CPU causing the problem, have you looked into hard drives and Ram speeds and capacities?

 

What hard drives are you using?

 

What Ram speed and amount are you using?

 

Is the ram recommended by the m/board users manual?

 

Pretty much any of the above will effect gaming one way or other.

i am sure your graphics cards are easy enough for any game and the CPU has pretty good specs and temps.... so i would look into the other components.

8gb of Corsair Dominator Plat, not recommended because freq. too high (2400mhz) It auto downclocked to some random freq. not of the normal 1333,1866, etc.

 

I just feel that the CPU is being throttled I guess you could say; It's just TOO cool and it WONT go over 20C. Something has to be wrong with that.. same with the GPUs they WONT go over 45..

Update: The dram frequency according to CPU-Z is 573mhz... Changing it in the bios does nada.

See if you can load up your system at all. Run Prime95 and a GPU benchmark that can loop, such as Unigine Heaven. Watch your temps, your loads, and your scores.

There's definitely something wrong there, I get around about those frame rates on a single 660ti and a 4670k, two 770s should be demolishing those games, Have you checked the temps of your cpu, Make sure its not throttling

Well i ran Prime95 and... BSOD. Core usage of all cores were 100 except 3 of them (they were at like 10-18% Didn't see temps, don't want to BSOD again.

Seems to me like it's throttling..

My question is why did you buy and 8350 and put 2 770s and deliminator platinum in it?

Reset your 8350 to stock and retest. It may be unstable in the first place...if it passes 12 hours of Prime95 it should be ok.

Not to be an ass, but ^ fixed. 

I will put everything in the BIOS to default and test with prime 95 w/o changing anything... will post results...

Edit: ran it for 10 minutes, all cores 100% temp stayed at constant 28-29C..

That's a very good question. The money for the platinums should have been spent on an i7 instead, but I won't judge. 

 

The BSOD's in prime95 are very bad news if you're at stock clocks though. I'd try to RMA your CPU and maybe your motherboard if they're still new enough.

IT BSODs when it's at higher clock with just a tick more of voltage.

So any extra voltage over the stock amount causes BSODs?

Maybe.. I'm trying to find the sweet spot for overclocking if anyone can help me with that.

Had to remove all overclocking for things to work..

I just looked again and see you have an asrock 990 m/board, i can't comment on this board as i don't know much about asrock boards, but could it be that is maybe the reason the board can't handle all that graphics and cpu processing power? something like a Sabertooth would work a lot better but its a mega pain to change a m/board as you have to do a full re-install.

 

I think a lot of people would be jelous to have a cpu running cool like that, and you have a good cooler so i still dont think anything is wrong with the CPU.

 

not sure how you have overclocked but i would recommend the software you get with the motherboard, i know Asus provide a good software called AI suite II (or III now) and i just use that and set to performance (happy medium) and it automatically changed and configures the settings for the cpu / ram etc.

 

keep use updated, i think its more a memory and m/board issue, or even drivers for the 770's i have heard sometimes they can cause conflict and problems.

 

go to Nvidia or the card manufacture and see if they have the newest drivers.

18C and 20C are not your real temps unless your ambient temps are at least at that point. Without extreme cooling, it's impossible to go below ambient temperatures.

Had a feeling.. While I was running prime95 last night for 6hours the cpu was about 30C... seems STILL too low.

So any kind of overclocking causes your CPU to run slow? Also, yes, AMD temp sensors tend to be very bad.
