Resetting BIOS
You might need to restore the default BIOS setting to solve certain problems. There are several ways to reset BIOS:
[ul]
[li]Go to BIOS and press F6 to load optimized defaults.[/li][li]Short the Clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard.[/li][/ul]

If a BIOS clear does not change anything, move on to your peripherals and computer settings:

Unplug the 4k screen, and anything that isn’t your 1080p monitor, your mouse, or your keyboard. Remove all external drives, gamepads, charging cords, etc.

Change your power plan from “Ultimate Performance” to “Balanced”

Watch a monitoring program next time you test, do you see anything reaching 100% utilization or higher temps?

Might be also worth looking at your OS drive, it’s quite full, you should try to keep closer to/above 20% empty to reduce any congestion in use.

Do you have a preferred monitoring program?

[Millagorilla]

I think where headed in the right direction. I turned the power settings to balanced and now I have 105-115 consistent frames.

I have a couple quick suggestions as far as software. After this, I leave you in the more than capable hands of Pyro.

The first thing that we will do is download Junkware Removal Tool by Malwarebytes. Save it to your desktop run as admin, this is an outdated crapware removal tool, it will remove some junk but most important, this will create a restore point. I do not need to see the log from this, if you want to go back to before any of these steps you will have a restore point created…

Download and run StartUpLite

Uninstall the two programs below. Bonjour isn’t needed, and Mcafee is known to slow things down, all you really need is defender.

Bonjour
Mcafee

Run the Mcafee removal tool as well.

Download easy service optmizer, save it to your desktop and unzip it there. Right click it and run as admin, then select Tweaked at the bottom. Then click on the rocket, this will turn off a lot of useless items.

You will however need to change one setting. Right Click on Wlansvc — WLAN AutoConfig, then select start service, the edit service. Make sure it is automatic across the board, as per the picture.

Disable windows 10 spyware with O&O software, this can chew up bandwidth while you game as microsoft is constantly uploading various data from your machine.

Disable windows update, and only enable it once a week to update on your terms not whenever microsoft feels you need an update.

Open a notepad and copy the content of the code box below, paste into open notepad and save it to your desktop as clean.bat then right click on clean.bat and run as admin.

Note: Do not copy the word code.

Note: This batch will reboot your machine so close anything you are working on and save it. The firewall commands are only to be ran if you remove Mcafee, if you choose to keep it then delete the first two lines after @echo off.

you beat me to the
McAfee

[Millagorilla]

Thank you soo much for the help y’all. I will do this when I get home.

[Malnutrition]

@Millagorilla any luck running the instructions I laid out for you?

[Millagorilla]

Ugh. I guess my last post didn’t post in here. I apologize.

So after resetting Bios settings, and changing the performance to balanced, I was able to obtain 100-115 frames.
I then set my D_Ram speed to 3600Mhz and XMP on and it boosted me up to 150-160 frames, but the game would crash every time. So then I set my Ram speed to 3200MHz and I’m running anywhere between 125-140.

I think we Deff fixed the issue, although I am unsure what caused it. I was using ultimate performance setting for windows, but I have always ran it that way. I don’t know why adding two more sticks of Ram caused it to behave that way.

I think now I can focus on Tuneing the CPU. But I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve tried to read about it. But which no luck in the past.

@Pyro

[PeterOz]

Tuneing the CPU.

My opinon only
You are asking for trouble
I will be interested in what pryo advises

[Millagorilla]

Really? I don’t know much about it, but I’ve heard between setting up the CPU and overclocking with a decent water cooler is the way to go. But I’m more than willing to listening to the people who know better on here. Lol. Don’t want to fry somthin.

[Millagorilla]

I am noticing that I can only hold good frames for a limited time. After about 2 or three hours of playing they drop back down to 100. Could I be throttling? CPU is at 71c?

[PeterOz]

71 should be ok

[Millagorilla]

I’m upgrading my CPU cooler from the stock cooler to a water cooler this weekend.

[Millagorilla]

My friend ordered one Corsair h115 water cooler “open box special” and they ended up sending him a whole case of coolers all new. So he’s giving me one. Lol. Talk about a lucky score.
