I'm guessing that you are getting thermal throttling of your motherboard and overheating of the power delivery system (VRMs) You motherboard lacks heatsinks for the VRMs and is unsuitable for a FX8??? of any sort. There may be other issues.

If you play with the case open and it helps, that's a sign of this. Another test is to temporarily zip tie a case fan so that it blows on and cools directly the VRMs, the components on the motherboard between the socket and the rear I/O Shield.

AMD Overdrive will show the Thermal Margin of your CPU.
