Lagg caused by Overclocking ?

HI,

I have recntly overclocked my old AM3 AMD FX4130 (I know it´s a crappy old AMD chip)

I overclocked it to 4.3Ghz which is ok I think from the stock 3.8Ghz.

The system is running stable enough to play, although my games are laggy and unstable it seems.

So I tested it with BeamNG. The game is running stable and so on. But, I am mostly no getting over 30fps even on low settings. I have FPS limiter turned on, yes, but to 60FPS.

So I was curious and played FiveM. Same there. Game is laggy and never getting over 30fps although I am able to play above 50 normally.

Here is a picture of the BeamNG performance table


As I said. The game may be running at 30fps, but is still getting lag spikes. And it is only occuring since I overclocked my CPU.

I also reset my BIOS settings to normal 3.8 Ghz and it didnt make any difference. The game is still running at 30fps, but still laggy.

 

Sounds like your overclock is unstable, try bumping up the Vcore a bit more.

 

I did. I tested it with Prime95 for a bit. All cores are stable and temps are at mid 50 Degrees

 

Strange, I once had a problem when overclocking my video card a while ago, it became unstable and the video drivers crashed, after that the cards cock speed was locked at 377MHz. Had to reinstall the video driver. Have you checked that your processor isn't throttling.
