Guild Wars 2

So this problem started occuring just now i’m playing and all of a sudden my fps drops from 45 to 10 and it takes like 10 sec to get back to 45 than i can play normaly and it happens again after some tim can sombody help me with this
graphics card: GeForce Gt 430
CPU: Amd phenom II X4 955
RAM 4G
windows 7 ultimate

Well, that CPU temp looks high and with a little googling I found out that AMD recommends staying below 62 degrees. What I would do is open up the case, blow the dust out (might even want to buy those $5 cans of compressed air), take the CPU heatsink out and apply some fresh thermal paste (might clean the heatsink real good while it’s out of the case). You don’t have to buy the most expensive thermal paste, but you got to have some. choose one of these for example over here and look on some guides online how to apply it if you’re not familiar with it. Should be the end of your problem.

Download Real Temp or Core Temp as well as GPU-Z. In the chosen Temp see how hot your CPU gets while gaming and in GPU-Z do the same thing for your GPU. That should give us some info. I believe it’s a heat issue but if it’s not, let’s try something else.

sorry if i didnt anwser this but i was on vacation so i dowloaded the programs

gpu – 33°C
CPU – min 86 max 88
oh and i have 4 cores if it helps

88C is hot! Open that case, make it dust free, if it is then make sure the heatsink is connecting properly. Be sure airflow in the case is decent, (warm air out, cool air in)

so if i just open up my case will it be a lot better?

No.

You see, the CPU produces heat (surprise, surprise) and to get rid of it there’s this block of metal called heatsink on top of it (and usually a fan to make it even more efficient). Between the heatsink and the CPU chip there’s this thing called thermal paste because on atomic level there are gaps of air even though they seem smooth to naked eye and heat doesn’t transfer thru air very well. Now, the thermal paste (also known as TIM) you have there has dried up over time and the heat has no way to reach the heatsink, thus causing the CPU to overheat.

You need to detach the heatsink, wipe the dried TIM from both CPU and heatsink and apply it again.

Opening the case, cleaning the dust out and closing it again will help a bit, but cases are designed so that a “wind tunnel” forms from the front of the case to the back, CPU being in the middle and the current taking some heat away. If you open the case the tunnel effect will be broken and the issue gets even worse.
