Hello Guys!
I bought the following PC from a friend, got it relatively cheap. Mostly for CS2 and occasionally a AAA game like Alan Wake 2, for example.
[ul]
[li]AMD Ryzen 7 2700x[/li][li]ASRock x470 Master SLI - BIOS Version P10.08 (01/19/2024)[/li][li]2x 16GB PC4-28700 DDR4 SDRAM Corsair[/li][li]Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 12GB[/li][li]Samsung SSD 980 1TB[/li][li]Seagate ST1000DM010 1TB HDD[/li][li]DELL G2722HS 27" Gaming LED IPS Monitor, Full HD, 165Hz, AMD FreeSync, NVIDIA G-SYNC[/li][/ul]
I installed CS2 + MSI Afterburner, and it runs at 200 FPS, CPU 60-70°C, GPU 60-70°C, CPU usage 40-50%, and GPU 90%. But I get crashes without any specific error message. (It just closes the game). After I reconnect, I can play for 5-10 minutes, and then I crash again, sometimes after 1-2 hours.
I tried every possible setting I could find online to fix CS2 crashing, but nothing worked. I installed a different graphics driver, deleted, and reinstalled the game + Steam, etc.
So, I decided to install other games to test whether the issue was with the PC or the game itself.
I installed Fortnite, and it runs at 150-200 FPS, but there’s annoying stuttering every minute. Also, when I’m in the air, the FPS drops quite a bit, down to 70-80-90 for a few seconds.
After playing and testing the game for a few hours, I had the same problem: I got a crash (this time with a crashing message). CPU and GPU temperatures didn’t exceed 70°C.
I installed PUBG as well, and the same issue happens: the game runs fine at 100-150 FPS, but after a while, I get a crash.
More demanding offline games, like Alan Wake 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Ride 5, run very well, with no FPS drops or stuttering.
I also did a stress test in DCCT last night, and the CPU reached a max temperature of 87°C, while the GPU didn’t exceed 70°C. Everything else went normally, no issues detected.
My uneducated guess when it comes to PCs is that the processor isn’t handling multiplayer games well (especially in Fortnite, which I read is very CPU-intensive, leading to stuttering and crashes).
My question is:
Is there any way I can play CS2 without crashes? (Without changing PC components)
And if not, I was thinking of the following upgrade:
I checked the motherboard:
[ul]
[li]ASRock x470 Master SLI - BIOS Version P10.08 (01/19/2024)[/li]And it supports the AMD Ryzen 5 5600x processor, which I’m considering buying (this being a good processor for mid-range gaming, from what I’ve read online). I understand I would need to update the BIOS (I’m not sure if it’s already the latest version or not).
[/ul]
I built a PC online with the following configuration:
[ul]
[li]ASRock x470 Master SLI[/li][li]Ryzen 5 5600x[/li][li]RTX 3060 12GB[/li]And everything seems fine, no bottleneck from the motherboard or anything.
[/ul]
My question is:
What cooler should I buy for the Ryzen 5 5600x?
I’d appreciate feedback from someone knowledgeable about the situation. :lol: Thanks!

because: The operation requested is not supported by the hardware backing the volume. (0x8900002A)
