I was playing Cities: Skylines on my old desktop PC a couple of years ago and the frame rate was really low. Windows was running sluggishly but mostly fine. I downloaded CpuZ to figure out what was going on with Skylines, and noticed that the core frequency was way lower than it should have been. I poked around in software for a while but couldn't figure out what was going on ... until I opened my case and realised that my CPU heatsink was dangling off the CPU, the top mounting pins having come loose. So, yep, CPUs - at least 2014-vintage Intel Core i5s - can run surprisingly well without cooling! |
