You forgot to mention if you have an HD or an SSD as your main OS drive. What do you have?
I have HD
Alright, so there are a two things to your issue. The second one will provide you with insight as to why your games are slow and the first one will provide you with information about CPU-Z.
1) The first one is CPU-Z may be reading the current frequency, when you have a power saving feature activated in bios (which usually is by default), i.e. C1E power state, cool 'n quiet, green settings, etc.. It will downclock the cpu when your system is idling or performing minor tasks such as web browsing, etc.. Since you are running an AMD FX processor, they have a feature called 'cool n' quiet' in your bios. Please deactivate/disable it and any other cpu power saving feature you see in your bios
You should run CPU-Z when you are running a game and see if that changes.
2) Your HD is probably the culprit as to why your games are performing slow. Many people don't realize but mechanical hard drives degrade over time and are guaranteed to fail - it's just a matter of when. In addition to slow read speeds due to platter speed limitations and degrading hardware, your OS will dump virtual memory onto your hard drive's free space - usually around 2-5GB. What this does is when your memory fills up, it will use additional space on your hard drive as 'ram'. The problem with this is that access the data is very sloooowwwww. Also keep in mind that when you run a game or a program that is installed on your HD, it is accessing the data files from your hard drive which is limited by it's speed. SOLUTION: I highly recommend getting an SSD for your OS boot drive and installing your games on it as well. Although this can be pricey, a lot of SSD's these days are very inexpensive from the 128GB to 256GB range. You will notice an immediate improvement in loading times and game performance.
Alternative 2) Make sure you check your CPU temperatures when playing games. If you're reaching 70-80c, you CPU will protect itself by throttling down and downclocking to avoid overheating. This will produce sluggish CPU performance.
