Sub par performance from 5820k?

Hey guys. Just swapped out my 4790k for a 5820k. I was hoping the 5820k would come very close in gaming. Well its not. Its massively under performing.

For instance in BF3 I used to get a locked 200FPS with the 4790k

With the 5820k its dipping to around 100FPS. So I'm guessing something is not quite right?

5820k @ 4.2
4790k @ 4.4

I tried disabling hyper threading but no joy. Any advice would be great.

Thanks
 
Thanks guys and setter that is good to know! I don't think I've set the ram up properly. The cpu is game stable at 1.05v at 4.2 which seems like very low volts. Idle at 28c with noctua u14s and load in game 48c.

If I enable xmp for the ram it wants to change the base clock from 100 to 125. Shall I reset bios and enable xmp on the ram?
 
So using XMP

overclocked to 4.25ghz using 34x125

BF3 TDM GPU details on low and about 20 people on server its dropping below 100 still. If I turn up the details to ultra it drops into the 60s.

Most of the cores show bounce around between 10%-40% usage. Temps always under 45c. high usage seems to jump from core to core.

Will test some other games in a bit.
 
CSGO TDM standard vavle server spraying the Negev it goes down to like 90 fps with everything set to low at 1920 x 1080.

In tunnels it hits 300


Just going to clean install GPU drivers again to rule that out

970 reference.

Weirdly I don't know if its tied to the frames dropping but the mouse cursor feels terrible in game as well. Like almost a little jerky and random with tonnes of smoothing.

Driver install didn't work. Little stuck now on what to tweak.
 
Yeah still no joy. also what's this...it looks high yet no other monitoring software pics it up.

So yeah just played bf4 and its not nearly as smooth as my 4790k set-up. Just feels very off to play. I was it was probably buggered rather then this sort of weird half way thing LOL
 
Yeah I can...I just didn't want to when I built it as it thought I'd give it a little more room from the CPU heatsink. Could this be the issue?> please let it be the issue! :o
 
Wow 8-pack hi :D

Guys! Swapping the GPU to the top slot fix it! locked 200FPS in BF3 now! Woot very very happy. Serves me right for thinking I was above reading the mobo manual.

Good to hear, I take it that slot was running the card at a lower pcie speed as opposed to full x16 in the top one.

Yeah that slot ran it at x8. The gpu is touching the nh14s now just. I'm just going to order a nh12s to replace it. Annoyingly I upgrade from the 12 to 14 about 6 months ago and saw zero change in load or idle temps. I'm so happy though its a small price to pay. Ordered from ocuk, was cheaper else where but with out you guys this could have ended a lot worse lol
 
Yeah well in this case I was getting less then half the performance of my card. dips to 90 on the settings I play vs a locked 200fps in the right slot.
