Hey guys!
I am coming to the community to ask for opinions of the best CPU to pair with my 7970 Twin Frozer. At the moment my build is as follows: CPU AMD 8120, MOBO Asrock Extreme 3, 16GB ram, GPU 7970 TF, and 650W PSU. I can run BF4, Assasins Creed 4, and many other games on Ultra with no lag but it seems when I play much less graphically challenging games (ex. Minecraft) my build lags uncontrollably. Maybe my solution is just to put an aftermarket cooler on my CPU and see what happens, but thats why I am here. Please if you have any info to share with me on what would be best. Also when I run anything from BF4 to minecraft my CPU is ungodly hot at 60-65c. But it never gets so hot that it shuts off. BTW I have 6 120mm case fans and stock cooler on my CPU.
