Hi guys, nice to meet you. This summer I bought some pieces for my pc, I installed all well (I think) but I have problems with fps drops in games like LoL or OW, but I don't know where exactly is the problem located, I give you my components list, and I run W10 at the moment AMD A10-7870K 4.1GHz Black Edition Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 OC WindForce 4GB DDR5 Tacens Mars Gaming 700W Samsung 850 Evo SSD Series 250GB SATA3 Enermax Liqmax II 120S G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 8GB 2x4GB CL9 Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB SATA3 I think that is there some conflict between APU and graphic, or some bad config in BIOS, because i'm newbie in bios, I just flashed for 7870k compatibility, I will appreciate some help and sorry for my bad english -.-' Thanks and good afternoon!
@InMesh: If you current-starve the GPU, it will not run at its' peak. As I said. Start with that. If you still have problems, then look at drivers.
Ok, I will start with that, can you recommend me some nice PSU? PD: I have latest drivers, I will check BIOS config to try something, thanks!
Do not go "cheap" on your power supply. It's like getting a brand new Maserati car, putting a 3 cylinder engine in it and asking why it can't go up a hill. Some popular brand names you should look at would be Corsair, EVGA, Antec and Seasonic. I think Seasonic is probably the better of most brands because they make the power supplies for some of the other manufactures I mentioned, platinum rating is best efficiency, and just plain 80+ lowest. imho...would not consider looking at anything that is not rated 80+. Some low priced PSU's are known to misrepresent their specs and do not preform as advertised. That 700w you have is only rated for 552w. continuous.
@Joe C: I like Seasonic as well. I bought a Seasonic 525W fanless supply for my recording studio machine. It works great, although I wish I could get it in a 700 Watt version. But I only use the stock Intel graphics card, and a SSD. So, 525 Watt is fine for me. Joe C is right. You should be looking at 1000 Watt power supplies or better. And 80+ Platinum is the way to go.
also if you build your own computers a really good power supply is reusable investment ! graphics cards , memory ,ssd's ,cpu's , are always being upgraded and replaced !
