Overall slow performance, especially in games.
Hello guys. In the past months, I've changed up quite a lot of things in my PC. I've changed my GPU, cooling fan, MoBo, case, and everything is set up fine now (still going to upgrade my PSU though). But with the specs all fine, I'm having problems with PC performance.. Sometimes I experience very long waiting times while using my PC, for example sometimes Windows Explorer freezes up, or I am doing a few things at once and everything suddenly slows down..
I really don't know the cause, and could use some help here. The only thing that could be bad in my system is the PSU, which is quite old and most people say it's not recommended, as it's a cheap one.
I have switched mobos with sysrep /generalise /oobe, and everything went fine.
I have all the recommended specs for games, and it runs smooth, but when I enter crowded cities, I get dips to 30FPS. Now I have seen a video with a person on the same specs on e.g. Fallout 4, no OCs, and it runs smoothly at 60FPS. Something's not right in my system..
One thing I have noticed - my GPU and CPU usage is always really high (95-99%), even though most people say they have 70-80%.. My temps are fine, CPU idle is 39~ though, even with an aftermarket cooling fan, but only reaches 60~ while on said FPS drops, even. GPU is 50 idle and about 60-65 on load.
I have cleaned the dust on my PC (apart from the PSU).
MoBo temp is about 34. Using two case fans.
My drivers are up to date.
My specs:
ASRock Z75 Pro3
Inter-Tech Energon EPS 750W (the PSU, thinking of upgrading it)
Intel i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz
Nvidia MSI GTX 970 4G
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO
2 1TB HDDs (one SeaGate 5400RPM, one WD 7200RPM AFAIK)
Zalman Z11 Pro Plus
Windows 7 64-Bit
