Why is this thread always entitled "hidden?" It even is marked that when I'm logged off and browsing at work.

Strange....

Yo Master Race friends, need some help.

Copped a couple games for this rig I just built, been noticing there's a lot of fluctuating frame rates, nothing keeps stable, is it because my rig can't handle it? Like State of Decay goes from 60 fps down to 45 and all back up and down on me at high settings. On ultra I hover around 30fps, and this is at 1080p. I have a AMD fx8320, 8gb of ram,& a diamond r9 270x.

Also, I have a Speed fan and have no idea how to use it, anybody care explain this ish to me.

Thanks brehs :salute:

first things first....update your driver for your GPU.
then go into your bios and make sure your power settings are set to "performance" or something like that...you don't want your rig to be in power saving mode.

btw, fps fluctuation is to be expected...just as long as you are not getting lag or stuttering i would not worry too much about it.

i don't know what a speed fan is.

Don't fukk with speed fan unless you know how to use it. It even warns you about that when opening up the program. It can fukk up your system.

I read about it but never used it personally. I didn't wanna take the time to learn it and everybody online said the risks for damage are real

If you just wanna check temps use cpuid hwmonitor instead

Reason why i even looked into it cause it started spinning the fans at max even when you first start it up. when I used speed fan, depending on how hot it was inside, the fans would adjust.

speedfan is really good, but there are some motherboards especially asus that don't play nice with speedfan. gigabyte and asrock works well with speedfan
