State of Decay isn't a good game to go by. it seems to have some inherent bottlenecks in it's performanceYo 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

Same setup over here. V-sync helps keep smoother framerates. My shyt used to fluctuate but as of late it's been much better without v-sync. Staying at a steady 60+ maxed out on most games. BF4 gets a little crazy tho.

Any tips on how to use it? my rig sounds like the first xbox 360 right now, even when it's not doing anything.
I don't use speedfan, but what fans are making all that noise?
personally I have all my case fans hooked directly to my psu. only the cpu's fan goes through the mobo. I have a pretty aggressive 'fan curve' on my gpu, and it's probably the noisiest thing in there, but only under heavy load (although I think my 780 is actually quieter than my 660)
cooling on air is gonna involve some noise regardless
Sure is. Do you already have a monitor?

I browse Slickdeals for good deals on parts. I usually end up buying parts from Newegg. You can sign up for their newsletter and receive daily emails with deals.

I noticed it's the fan in the back, blowing the air out, it's constantly at over 5000 rpm
you have a 5000 rpm case fan?

LOL i'm not sure, but when I was using the speed fan, I would tinker around with fan 1, and that was the fan that i'd hear get really loud and start blowing out lots of air
Edit: these are the reads i'm getting

word up, it sounds like it's preparing for take off.
that's some crazy speeds. could be HW monitor just reading shyt wrong
anyway, you only got two fans in there? I assume one is the cpu fan, so only one case fan? if your case has space for more fans, you might want to look into that. you need good air-flow for gaming, plus it should lessen the load on that one fan

Case has 3 fans, but as far as I can see (mobo doesn't really outline ports well) it only has two slots for fans, so I have one going from the back and one going from the front, the top one is unused right now. U got another program i can check?
