Hi, my fx-6100 is completely bottlenecking my gtx 960 gaming 4gb, it runs great but the CAM app tells me like every 2 minutes that my cpu usage is already at 90-98 and about to reach its limit, and if i dont open the side case and start my big fan next to it, it overheats. it causes inconsistencies in the game and i'm thinkin in buying the fx-8320e 8 cores, 4ghz I think. Its cheap and my mobo is amd so I can't get any Intel processors. is the fx-8320e stock cooler fine? because right know it's summer in my country and my hot room makes my pc even hotter. so what should i do?
My cpu is bottlenecking my GPU, which cpu should i buy?

if you have win10 then fx 8350/8320e is good choise because DX12 help with multi core CPUs. as a cooler http://www.thermaltake.com/Cooler/Air_Cooler_/NiC/C_00002026/NiC_F3/design.htm this is great

Your first post makes no sense - whats a CAM app ??
Also you will never ever see 98% usage on any 6 or 8 core fx chip in gaming - & I do mean never ever.
It sounds to me your problems are entirely temperature & throttling related more than anything else - the 6100 is not great but will run a gtx 960 at a decent level IMO.
Also you have to take into consideration your motherboard model before considering any upgraded , you havent mentioned this so what actual board is it ??

Seen mate - you posted model same time as me.
The ud3 is an excellent quality board , honestly though I'd suggest grabbing a good cooler & simply overclocking the **** out of your 6100.
An 8320/8350 is an improvement but not a $120-150 one.

depending on your country and your psu i would get the 8320/8350 whichever you can get the best deal on. Since your stuck with amd they are your best choices to push your card the best. Until dx12 really starts using more cores the rest of the cores wont really make much of a difference until then.

You CANNOT push 98% usage on any 6 core chip while gaming mate - it is absolutely not possible.
There is not one single game out there that will utilise all 6 cores on any fx chip to that extent.
Are you sure the CPU is not throttling at high temps?, this would possibly cause that scenario
Have you got a link to that overlay software so I can have a look at it??
