CPU lag..help

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 04:01 PM

I am using an AMD 1090t 6-core and sometimes experience lag. Here are two times I have seen and noticed it.

1) Uninstalling Windows Professional. I can feel the lag constantly while uninstalling, but AIDA/Everest says my CPU load is 8-12% depending on when I look.
2) While spreadsheeting using a program Rawr for World of Warcraft I experience lag as well. That could be the program though, but on their forums it seemed nobody else had this problem.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you.

mlee49 · Jul 17, 2011, 04:23 PM

Are you overclocking at all?

Is your system 100% stable? Meaning it passes stress tests just fine and can operate at load.

fullinfusion · Jul 17, 2011, 04:28 PM

Thats strange, im running the same cpu and never experience any lag what so ever.

I only clock to bench mark but the rest of the time I'm running stock 3.2 with turbo mode on. The memory NB is sitting @ 2800mhZ
I run 3000MHz stock volts but turbo dont work being that high.

Have you defraged the hard drive lately?

LifeOnMars · Jul 17, 2011, 04:32 PM

Perhaps look to see if the memory timings are all set correctly with suitable voltage, or try adding one notch of voltage to the memory as I see you are running 8GB.

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 04:35 PM

Nothing is overclocked except my video card. I BIOS flashed to 6970 and increased the fan speed a bit. My system seems stable. How would I go about testing this during load etc? I defragged 2 weeks ago and it was 0% fragmented. I don't know how to check memory timings, nor do I know what they mean or how to add voltage to them.

fullinfusion · Jul 17, 2011, 04:53 PM

go into the bios and look for the settings. It's pretty basic and not hard to figure out on an Asus board. Take a screen shot of CPU-Z, it looks like this

what does the SPD tab show? those timings your running atm are loose loose... but lets see the spd first before anymore comment.

^That's your problem. You're running 1070mhz DDR3 at cas 9. Get the ram to 1333mhz or 1600mhz (there's a divider setting in the bios) and increase your CPU/NB setting in your bios to at least 2400mhz.

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 06:09 PM

I went into my BIOS and all my CPU voltage is set to auto, my DRAM voltage is set to 1.6 and the frequency is set to 1067mhz with an option to run 1333 or 1600. Also, is the OC Tuner Utility any good? Im uploading the SPD tab now.

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 06:09 PM

So for DRAM Frequency, I set it to 1600mhz?

EDIT:

Start with 1333mhz. Are you using two sticks or four sticks? In order to set your RAM correctly I need to know exactly what model RAM you are using.

** Set your RAm to the XMP-1600 settings, but use 1.65v since it's on an AMD rig. Also be sure to set your CPU/NB frequency to 2400mhz.

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 06:14 PM

I am using 4 sticks of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231303

Oh... I know those sticks. They don't work very well with AMD. Set it to 1333mhz and use the timings that it lists or 1600mhz in the SPD. 7 8-7-24 40 2T

fullinfusion · Jul 17, 2011, 06:16 PM

and dont forget to set them to T2 2T whatever, otherwise its going to be hard getting those things to run proper.

Why wont they work well on amd? there dual chann sticks

Huh? No, the Ripjaws blue never worked well with AMD. I've used them and got rid of them. Even on Newegg people report that these don't work well with AMD.

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 06:20 PM

We need to slow down a bit now. I'm new to overclocking and the only thing I saw in my BIOS for RAM was the frequency and voltage, so let's start with that. I have no idea what timings are.

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 06:23 PM

So far, on my to-do list is:

1) set CPU/NB frequency to 2400mhz
2) set DRAM Frequency to 1333

I don't know how to set timings to 7-8-7-24 40 2T
Also, do I leave my DRAM voltage at 1.6?

fullinfusion · Jul 17, 2011, 06:31 PM

Yeah picture time lol... set the ram voltage to 1.65v ok

set the NB to 2600MHZ ok?

next look for something that looks like these pic's

RAM TIMINGS

Compare your bios and make note on what timings I've set in the bios and go with that..

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 06:34 PM

So 7-8-7-24 40 2T is now void and to use those timings?

No those are my timings, Different sticks so Get you own lol.. I just took a screen shot to show you ..

Enter your 7-8-7-24-40 ok and report back if it boots.

good luck

Zaspera · Jul 17, 2011, 06:38 PM

Here goes nothing...brb hopefully

EDIT: one more thing. do I set RAM to 1333 or 1600mhz?

try the lower first then try 1600mhz mode

ok brb setting it all
