Update - I attempted to test the system with my backup (cheaper and old) PSU, which is an OCZ 500w - the sytem immediately started hissing/smoking - I quickly turned the power off but the damage was done, the wire going into the 4 pin cpu mobo socket had completely melted into the socket. So now...
Hi all,
Post is as the title says basically.
PC Specs are as follows:
CPU: i5-4960 @ 3.5 ghz
GPU: GTX 970 4GB
RAM: 8gb ddr3 (Exceleram 1600mhz)
HD: Seagate Barracuda 250 GB (its ancient!)
PSU: Corsair 500w
Motherboard: MSI H81I LGA1150 Mini-ITX
Background - I built this system a year and a...
Game performance is as it should be (i.e Fallout 4 is running at 60fps on near max settings) - I just wondered if it is likely to make the CPU die if its using all of its power all the time/is it just going to use loads of electricity and make the pc a lot louder?
I went into the BIOS and disabled 'Speedstep' and that seems to have fixed the problem (clocks run at 3.5ghz as they should) - is not having this enabled a big deal? Should I look for a more permanent solution is basically what im asking.
Clock change does not spike at all past 800mhz when opening any application.
Windows is already on high performance, its one of the things I initially tried doing :/
I didn't but I havent really been playing games recently, I've been barely using my pc or when I have done its just been...
Thanks for explaining - I've done what you asked, it is reporting that each core is running at 800.10 mhz (all of the time as far as I can tell), although the column after has 'multiplier' in which it says x8. I've no idea what this means since I've not used the program before :/
I've read...
Update - I tested out my PC with dota 2 (a game which again I should be able to max out) and the story was the same (around 20-40fps) and not changing when I changed any of the settings, I ran the game at different resolutions and with completely max and completely minimum settings to no avail.
I can't test at the moment but I played XCOM 2 recently and had pretty poor performance, although I put that down to the game being buggy etc (and poor performance was widely reported by people playing the game)
I have a Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt
I've run the game with MSI afterburner stats so I can monitor GPU, CPU and RAM usage, it seems to be a CPU issue as all 4 cores hover between 80% and 100% usage all the time. Having said that, I'll be in a very non demanding area (e.g. standing right...
Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this, I've just started playing fallout 4 however despite having a fairly decent computer, I am getting pretty bad performance issues.
I've had between 25-45 fps in an unpopulated area (the truck stop near the start of the game for anyone who has...
Thats what made me make the thread - I've seen loads of people with very similar settings saying they were basically maxing out the game.
I've tried running it with as many processes as possible closed and it still doesn't run well.

If the CPU pins are bent and that is the issue can i return the motherboard, or will they simply say that I have damaged it when putting the cpu in? It's impossible to prove either way I guess.
Hi all,
Just finished putting together a new build (my second ever so I'm pretty inexperienced, made my first pc after fantastic help from some people on here).
Specs are as follows:
Power Supply Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze
Case BitFenix BFC-CLI-300-KKLS1-RP -...
I'm looking to build a pc in the next couple of months, but I don't have a clue about pc case size (there doesn't really seem to be a standard system that is widely used as far as I can tell).
Basically I want a pc case that is as small as possible because I am at university and spend a fair...
Yeah, but nearly all the games have been like that, you can mod the original game to enable armies to travel much further (based on how far they would actually be able to move), but I've forgotten the name.
If it says that (I think it happens when someone leaves before 5 minutes or first blood or something... I'm not sure) then you don't get a win or a loss- although sometimes Dotabuff counts games where it says that (and does not count games where it doesnt) - which explains the difference in...
I agree that it *could* open up a whole new range of tactics, but it simply doesn't because the AI of the total war games is not up to it. Maybe if they can significantly improve the AI in an upcoming game then some sort of Napoleonic/ US civil war era game could work.
He needs a coordinated team. If you watch a pro game, the bat will initiate a team fight buy popping firefly and blinking into the enemy team, he will lasso a hero and then fly/be forcestaffed back into his own team, dragging the enemy hero who gets killed before they can do anything. The...
BTW (and because someone got confused earlier), shadow blade will not break until the ultimate goes off. However an invis rune will wear off at the start of the animation, explaining the dota cinema clip (mentioned earlier). Shadow blade will also allow you to phase through someone, meaning they...
I don't mind her on a support role either, I was just saying she can potentially mid.
Yep - nyx vs Lina is not good for lina. (That's why I said she shouldn't mid here (I was talking generally0)
Yes, bottle first is bad - I just meant getting an early bottle.
Lina can be a good mid (IMO) not in this line up though - She has similar potential as many other mids who are good in pubs but are not so good in pro games (no escape/rune control), heroes like zeus, lion etc. Her last hit animation can be gotten used to, to some extent, plus bottle etc can...
So annoyed with this muting system, just got my first ever mute (24 hr) from a game in which someone failed to load and I said nothing (except 'hi') as we got kicked back to the front page.
It was my first game of the day (having not played for two days) and I was muted by the next game...
I...
