Every CPU AMD produced before ryzen was poo

Phenom II era was decent

Muh lack of single threaded performance

went to shit after bulldozer

would run fine at 70fps 1080p in overwatch and the the enemy dva ults and I'm looking at a slideshow

I have vishera/piledriver too

even at 4ghz, the thing's an oven

What play at 4K when you can play at 1080p with 16x MSAA

but it works and I'm too poor to buy a new CPU

I can turn all settings to lowest and STILL drop frames when crazy shit's happening so it must be my cpu

weird, I don't have issues playing overwatch with a fx8320 + rx480

anti aliasing is a meme, I actually prefer jaggies for the contrast and more clearly-defined hitboxes at long range

Hmm

@transience do you think it could be my mobo then? I cheaped out and got a $50 biostar when I built this rig like 5 years ago

also never changed the cpu thermal paste but according to temp monitors I'm not going above 60c while gaming

so I don't think it's a heat issue

could be but idk

are you OCed?

nope I don't even know how tbh

Is it safe to OC with stock cooler

tried it one time and got instant bsod so I just reset to default

@Archy safe? it will crash or shut down long before anything happens, so technically, yes. advisable? esp. not with amd fx

FX CPUs are a toaster

it's not just a meme

damn straight

gaming in the summer is hell

it's only march and it's cooking my whole room

tfw california highs of 110

Why don't you just put ice blocks close to your CPU every 5 mins and it will remain cool

muh polar bears

how cooking are we talking

you don't know what hot is until you use a laptop bruh

My laptop never goes above 53

it's TDP that's important

all that heat gotta go somewhere

My laptop idles at 65

And goes up to 80 under heavy load

my brothers wants iem. zircons or pistons?

redpill me

i like zircons the braided cord reduces cable noise. idk about pistols

zircons are a bit meme
