While playing games my AMD FX 8320 downcloaks itself to like 1.3 ghz, the utilization drops, the speed drops, which also causes my frames to drop. My full specs are GTX 770, AMD FX 8320, 8GB RAM, Asrock 990fx extreme 3.

You will need a new board that supports your CPU.

The FX8320 and 8350 aren't supported by that board.
