Hi!
I've built 3 computers in the last year and the first 2 went quite smoothly. Both used very similar parts with only the odd change (e.g., motherboard).
The third computer also had very similar parts. More specifically:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws 2X4GB DDR3-1600
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 EXTREME4
Power Supply: Corsair Professional HX750W
Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD (Fermi) 1280MB
Optical Drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner
Case: Zalman Z9 Plus
And a hard drive from a couple years ago.
However, this third computer runs a lot slower than the first two computers, even though they all had the same CPU, RAM, cooler, and nearly identical power supply.
Not only does it run slower, but when playing games, it's slow at times and stutters (as it's not fully fluid at times). However, it has a better graphics card than my computer (I have a EVGA GTX 560 Ti).
I feel bad as I made this computer for my brother and it's not performing at the level it should be!
I have even swapped out his graphics card into my computer, and it ran smoothly. And I put my graphics card into his computer, and it ran laggy just as before. So I would rule out the graphics card.
I have a feeling it may be some problem with the motherboard.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help! :-)
