Hello. First of all sorry for my bad english, I hope youll understand everything. So let me explain my problem.
I have a new pc and I built it myself, every hardware is new except the motherboard. The motherboard i got borrowed me my friend and i think its old but not too much. And the problem is that i have relatively strong pc but when i play new games i have a lag spikes. For example I play Dirt Rally, I can play on highest setting and on lowest setting and its the same. I have 60 fps for like 30 seconds and then it drops to 12 fps for like a minute than back to 60 fps etc. I dont know whats causing it but my friend told me that its because CPU overheat but when i have fps drop in game and I minimalize the game and look on Advanced System Care monitoring the CPU is always on 58 or 60 celsius which is not that high is it ? So i thing thats not whats causing the lag spikes. Now Ill write my computer specs:
Motherboard: ASRock N68C-GS FX
CPU: AMD FX-8300, 8-Core (95W), 3.3GHz (4.2GHz Turbo), 16MB cache, BOX, socket AM3+ (Vishera)
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 960 WINDFORCE 2X Gaming 4 GB, GV-N960WF2OC-4GD, 4GB GDDR5 (7010MHz), NVIDIA GeForce GTX960 (1241MHz), Boost clock 1304MHz
RAM: Kingston 8GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL10 HyperX Fury, 2x4GB, PC3-12800, CL10-10-10-30, voltage 1.5V
PSU: Corsair VS450, Computer power supply unit 450W, 80 Plus, ATX, 120mm fan
HDD1: Seagate Desktop HDD 1TB, SATA III, NCQ 64MB cache, 7200rpm, ST1000DM 003-1ER162
HDD2: WD 500 GB, WDC WD50 00AAKS-00Z7B
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit
I have a fan on the CPU borrowed from a friend so i dont know a name but its not the fan that comes with the CPU its a bigger fan and it has heatpipes so i think its a good fan and than i have 2 more fans one i put on a side of my pc case and its pushing the air from the GPU out of the case and the next fan i put on the back of the case and its pushing the air out. I think thats everything about my hardware if you need some more information just tell me and Ill find it out and tell you.
Today i played Dirt Rally and I downloaded a program called CPUID Hardware Monitor and I recorded temperatures and usages of my hardware. Ill upload all the screenshots of those graphs. When I look on the graph CPU clock speed i see that its on 1400 MHz for like 90 seconds and than it goes up to 3400 MHz for like 20 seconds I dont know if thats normal because I dont understand computers that much or if its not and GPU power and clock speed doesnt seem normal to me too. Ill also upload a screenshots from Dirt Rally with MSI Afterburner On-Screen Monitoring. Those screenshots were taken while I had normal fps and while i had a lag spike.
So I think thats all from me for now. Ill be very thankful for any help. If you need any more info just tell me and Ill get it for you.
