I recently upgraded my gtx 1050 for a 1060 and I saw no performance boost at all. So I upgraded my processor from a amd fx 6300 to a AMD fx 9590 eight core 4.7 ghz. (I noticed while looking up my processor my computer says its using all 8 CPUs but only 4 ghz.) and I still have no increase in frames. Could it be my motherboard?
New Gpu and Cpu did Nothing!

Please list full pc spec including cpu cooler and psu. The FX9XXX series are terrible, very few motherboards can support there 220w, you need an expensive cooler and AMD recommend at least an 800w psu. After all that it still gets outperformed by the latest i3’s.

frame rate is mostly correlated to single core speed once you have enough cores to prevent conflicts, seeing as they are basically the same cores i'm not surprised. I am surprised that it's stable.

1st of all, what are you using to monitor temps? Anything other than AMD Overdrive will be inaccurate for AMD.
AMD OD uses thermal margin, the max operating temp for your CPU is around 70-75c. Use AMD OD and if the number goes below 15c, your most likely throttling. Probly time to start looking for a better cooler.

yea HWMonitor is one of the MOST inaccurate for AMD series.
While in AMD OD you will see a Stability/Stress stest option, go to it. Select all, and run. Watch your temps and clocks while its running, if the system crashes, remember whhat the numbers were as it will help better diagnose.
Try and provide a screenshot with the numbers (temp and clocks) while doing the stress test

Ive never overclocked before and I don't really feel comfortable doing it, but I had msi afterburner open on my second monitor while playing PUBG and watched the temp and msi said while idle i was sitting at 35c and around 60-70c while playing. Im not sure if this helps, but like I said I just don't feel comfortable risking anything, if worse comes to worse ill just get a different processor. Thanks for your help.
