I don't know what to do now. I have nothing overclocked and I'm still dropping frames. Ever since I got this new motherboard, I can't play anything. Is my PC actually dying?


Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H
PSU: 750W Thermaltake 80+ Bronze
CPU: A10 6800k (Richland)
GPU: GTX 970
RAM: 16GB
STORAGE: 2TB HDD
 
No I don't think that CPU is bottlenecking that bad. A newer Ryzen or Intel chipset would help that 970, but we're not talking choppy stuttering bottleneck CPU performance here. Did you just swap out a dead motherboard for that A10 8600K CPU and everything else is the same? Were you running faster FPS prior to swapping out the motherboard?

I did not reinstall Windows with this new mobo. I guess I could try that later on.

I was running ok with my old mobo. When I got this new mobo, I got great boot times and everything was perfect! Then after 2-3 days, it dragged like hell! It made no sense to me how something so great went so bad in such a short amount of time.

EDIT: I did swap out a stock mobo for a new mobo and everything else is the same.
