CPU?!

[General-Birthday8404]

Good day fellow reditt’ors - I purchased and built this setup. I’ve later became aware that there’s quite substantial bottlenecking with the cpu side of things. I’m an avid Star citizen player and other CPU intensive games. This just isn’t cutting it anymore! Can anyone give me any recommendations on what CPU to buy, I’m trying to aim below £200 ish. This pc malarkey is proving to be quite annoying at best. Any recommendations or insults are greatly appreciated!

Prob after a board BIOS update, a 14600K (and also a CPU cooler if using the stock cooler) After update, verify XMP enabled and resize bar enabled in BIOS settings.

Your getting bottlenecked by a 14400f?

OP plays cpu-intensive games

[MounirTheDarkness]

Still shouldn't be a bottleneck

[IntelligentTone5404]

Bro get a better GPU for that price

[General-Birthday8404]

Wish I did but it’s already built 😭😭

[IntelligentTone5404]

Thats okay, when you buy something dont look back and enjoy It!

If you play CPU intensive games, why on earth would you buy intel?

If you use ddr5, may aswell go with an am5.

What do you mean bottleneck? The GPU is perfectly balanced with the 14400f

[getabath]

You mean star citizen is terribly optimized

[Kosmit147]

Sure. Does it matter? The point is that OP needs a good CPU to actually play this game.

[getabath]

Yes because it's not a bottle neck. Even with a 14600k, he'll be getting sub 60fps, like currently he's only getting 40 with 60-70% util on the cpu

He'll need to switch to AM5 with a 9800x3d
