danbw 7 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hello everyone, So, a few days after having this PC, I had problems with the sound card. I did a few system restores but no change. Oddly enough, after most of the system restores, I got BSODs.. I haven't overclocked. I had high temps with my 4790K but it was fine and I got really good performance with FSX but now with lower temps, it has gotten worse. I have accidentally reset settings in the Asus BIOS to default and I believe that may have contributed to the result I now have with very poor performance in FSX and other games.. One thing I noticed with RealTemp after this change from the BIOS was this: (The good one): http://billedeupload.dk/?v=rZnD2.png My clock was constant 4.4GHz and it says ''100 x 44.0'', and stayed like that throughout, producing great performance. (The bad one): http://billedeupload.dk/?v=DQJar.png Now, my CPU performs strangely jumping up and down a lot more often and my FPS at unlimited varies greatly from 20 to 130 and the top right shows ''99.94 x 42.5'' which I believe is a multiplier of some sort. Thanks in advance and any help and advice would be much appreciated Cheers, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will269 15 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Dan, are you using the stock fan? I got really high temps and purchased a Noctua fan cooler. Best thing I ever did. The CPU will boost itself to 4.4 if it needs to, or you can manually set it to always run at 4.4 but you need a good cooler. If you have an Asus board, run a Bios update, and see how you go.

danbw 7 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks for the reply - appreciate it! Using a liquid cooling system: Antec Kuhler H20 650. My Asus BIOS is grey and orange, a little different from what I've otherwise seen. How can I manually set it to run at 4.4? Would that still be called an overclock and could I do that from the BIOS? And where can I run a BIOS update? Cheers, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
