Those temps are really good, but I am not familiar with P95 settings. 

 

If you want a CPU upgrade, go for it:

i think i read that OP ran p95 for less than 5 mins. id say to get a baseline temp reading you have to run for at least 15 min. i run p95 on my system all night when i dropped my cpu into the socket and damaged it. i fixed the socket but ran p95 to see if it freezes . and it is fully stable after a 12 hour run of p95

get second one, they're 250 right now and then get either unlocked Ivy Bridge that you can pop into your current board or go for the Skylake stuff

But it should max it out with the current gpu, there should be no need for it.

Which one ivy bridge?

I did a comparison, both were ran for 10 minutes but the first one made my cpu go 60+ from less than 5 minutes.

well since you have X79 board then probably either 4930K or 4960X depending on the cost, and overclock those to like 4.5~4.6

does dell have a proprietary 2011 socket?

This is crazy, 1000$ for a cpu? The overall cost of assembling a new gaming pc would be for the same amount or less for upgrades.

The board cannot allow for overclocks.

his board has a workstation chipset for xeons only... cmon think a little will ya? .. why would dell shove a expensive OC chipset in a board that has a CPU that CAN't OC.

4960X should be a lot cheaper, it's like from 2013 or something... try e-bay or get the 4930K then

wont work in his board. his board doesnt have an x79 chipset

From what he says he has no idea, the prices are over the board for what I ask for.

CMon, add logic, I just want to max a game, I dont need a fortune for it.

Long live consoles with that logic.

wait what were the games you wanted to play? ill use my older xeon rig to play them rn if they are free to play to see if it is your system that is having the issue

is it not an X79? that's quite sad then...

probly should abandon it in that case if you're having performance issues

 

 

 

 

 

THIS IS NOT A PERFORMANCE ISSUE:

Black desert online on high end or highest.

Tera EU version

Heroes of the storm

, I will pm you a gift because one of them is not free.

Black desert runs well but depending on where I am the higher the setting the heavier the fps drop, high end mode is the one that kneels most machines I guess. I use gtx980 4gb oc windforce.

that chip is still more than capable in todays workload. maybe worse case scenario OP just rebuilds his rig using the same cpu and finding a non proprietary supermicro board. abandoning ship is a waste of money when you have a more than capable chip. the issue at hand can be either low volts or heat. 

[glitchmaster0001]

OP if you upgrade to skylake your just wasting money when you have a more than capable rig. my old rig from 2006 still plays bf4 on ultra settings with 50 to 60 fps after a GPU upgrade. and BF4 is pretty CPU intensive. if a potato pc from 2006 can hold up to triple a titles then theres no reason why your much newer chip cant.

I know. I just ask, we need to troubleshoot it or see what is up.

Am I too late to say some games are just badly coded and will make you think you have a "bottleneck" when none exists?

 

Example, I looked over some ARMA 3 benchmarks I did a while ago on my current rig. The CPU wasn't pegged higher than 40% and this was during a show case map with some force on force action.

yes OP has stated that before that it could be an issue with the poor optimization of the game

We will just have to wait for your benchmarks and see, although try to run tera specifically with both the xeon build and your normal gaming build.

I think I ran Tera on my old Radeon 5850, yeah I am sure of it.

 

This is what my i5 + R9 280 would look like:  http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=1008&game=Tera-Online&p_make=Intel&p_deriv=Core+i5-3570K+3.4GHz&gc_make=ATI&gc_deriv=Radeon+R9+280+Gigabyte+WindForce+3X+OC+3GB+Edition&ram=16&checkSubmit=#systemrequirements

 

Remember, all I am saying is that your PC is capable of running these games fine.  Something is faulty... hardware or software side.  Best of luck, I know you can figure it out.

Here is mine, I supposed it is correct although the graphics card I reported is a lesser edition of what I purchased, its the windforce one.

Anyway, I know I meet the specs but then again whats up here...?

As a reminder, the in game settings do not affect my performance, same applies for my nvidia cp settings as I followed every optimization guide I came across.

here is mines. note that they didn't have an option for me to put 24GB of ram and i couldn't put both of my Xeons in so i picked the cpu that had the most close performance to it which is the 5960x

You can test on the software side... which you have done plenty of...

 

... or you can try the hardware side.  It is not the CPU or GPU.  So you have a few things left:  Motherboard, RAM, storage drive/SSD and of course... that damn PSU.

 

Open the case up and look for the power to the motherboard.  Count the pins damnit.  If it is 24 pins, go buy a regular ATX PSU.  Check the CPU power as well should be 4/8 pin.

Ram is out of the question as well, I changed/upgrade, see my other thread.
