core i5 7400 3.0.
AMD RX 580 4gb.
8 gb ram.
PSU: ATNG POWER CO., LTD MODEL: ATM-500FB
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B250M-A
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200 RPM.

Witcher 3 will run at a very low frame rate (even on lowest settings with everything off it's unplayable). I'm wondering if the corei5 3.0 is the cause. Minimum requirements are- Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz. if I upgrade to i7 7700 3.6, will that give me the biggest boost for my system?

No that doesn't mean it's DOA. The fans won't turn on until it reaches around 60C. There could be something preventing it such as driver error, or it could actually be a defective GPU, or it could just be some settings got mixed up somewhere and clock speeds weren't going up to full speed.

Yeah with that setup you should be close to 60FPS at 1080p and high quality settings even with AA (with Hairworks off of course). The motherboard should recognize the GPU being installed and by default disable onboard graphics so I doubt that's the issue whether or not you have the monitor connected to the GPU or CPU (and you'd not get a signal from the CPU by said default disabling by motherboards detecting a dedicated GPU).

I would start with a clean AMD driver sweep using CCleaner and then re-install from scratch the latest Adrenalin drivers from AMD for starters 918.4.1). Even with thermal throttling and not using MSI Afterburner your performance should not be that low. So that leads me to believe you have a driver conflict somehow/somewhere - barring of course your GPU is not faulty. If it was a bad power supply or was chipset related like the motherboard or memory, you'd simply just have crashes.

Well in game i don't see the fans on the GPU moving at all. Does that mean it's DOA? I just got this in the mail a few days ago. I tried Ccleaner and got out the junk and installed the latest diver as you said.
