I can limit the Ghz to 3.3 and it will stay at max 40c. While this is a nice temp, going from 4.3 to 3.3 Ghz is a big differents and i lose a lot of fps. Ive had this problem before and at the time i bought a new cpu cooler (Arctic Freezer 13). This lasted through the winter but its not helping anymore.
Is there a way to make it run in between the turbo core mode (4.3Ghz) and the max i can limit it (3.3Ghz)? Guessing 4.0Ghz should be enough.
Having no issue with other games atm. Only with star citizen but thats pushing my pc on a whole new level compared to mwo.
specs:
cpu: AMD FX-8150 Eight core @ 4.3Ghz, cooled by arctic freezer 13
gpu: Sapphire HD 7870 2gb
ram: 16gb
moba: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3, AM3+
case: dunno but 1 big fan on top, 2 fans in front, 1in the back and 1 on the bottom. (case is open atm)
