Hello guys,
I'm having some problems with my new build.
Here's the story; so i built a new rig (i'll list the specs under) and i'm encoutering some serious lag.
Define 'lag' please? Well, the mouse cursor can't follow my movement smoothly, it jumps from place to place. Games drop down to 15-20 fps every 5 seconds and videos buffer alot when they are played and they make static noises when buffering. Pc is just slow overall. Tabs won't open smoothly without lagging, etc...
What have I tried so far?I've installed all the mobo drivers from asus and I installed the gpu drivers from the evga website. All are up to date.
What am I suspecting?Some people said it could be the gpu's temps and that I have to get new thermal pads, but I've tested my temps with the 'EVGA precision OC' and my temps were 33 ish degrees celsius on idle and 50-55 ish on load when I was playing games.
Other than that, I've had a windows anniversary update that I did, and before that update I never encountered these issues.
Some people have suggested to downgrade my windows to 7 because 10 had minor issues, but I don't want to backup all my data if windows 10 is not the issue. It will take my whole day. But if I must, i'd have to do it.
Here's another weird thing; when I boot up the pc and login, it laggs. I shut it down completely and restart it, it still laggs. However, the lagg goes away (for 4-5 hours) when I choose the 'restart pc' option before i login on the first boot. But after a couple hours the lag returns.
--PC SPECS--- Windows 10 professional
- Intel i7 6700k (4.0 GHZ)
- EVGA GTX 1070 FTW EDITION
- Asus maximus VIII ranger mobo
- Superflower leadex 750w 80+ gold
- Hyperx Fury 16 gb (2400 MHZ)
- Samsung 850 evo 500GB
- Be quiet! dark rock pro 3
- Be quiet! silent base 800
Hope that's everything you need to know. Any suggestions of what I can do/try to fix this issue? It's really annoying that I have to deal with this after spending almost 1700 dollars on a pc.
