Ok, I will try to sell the 970 then, hopefully people stop ghosting me

What about a 1070? I have found some for 150-160$, I think those would be more logical.

I have been trying to sell my GTX 970 for 75$. Only offers are either being ghosted after me messaging them or just stupid offers (GTX 1060 3 GB with 40$ from me). One offer is a RX 470 8 GB for my 970. What do you guys think about that? Or should I just wait to sell the 970 and try to buy a 1060 6GB (which was my plan from the beginning)?

The temps seemed to hover around 40 degrees, and usage in HWMonitor seemed to say 100%. EDIT: Forgot to mention that I changed the clock to 3,4 ghz and task manager percent changed to 85%

I also tried Prime95 and it also capped at 75%. I am considering to try a lower clock and test that.

I have looked at the "Logical Processors" graph in task manager. They all are capped at 75%.

I have recently decided to overclock my Ryzen 3 1200 on my Gigabyte A320M-H mobo, tried a risky 4ghz off the top. But it seems that it doesn't run at that speed. At desktop it runs at base speed (3.10ghz, taken from task manager) and when under load task manager tells me that the cpu is at 75% usage (Load = Cinebench). I am open to any suggestions as to what might be the problem.

But if the only thing it has over the 1200 is integrated gfx, isnt it pointless to upgrade?

I have had a AM3 system for like half a year, and I have finally decided to save up for an upgrade. Problem is I dont have that much (Around 140 Euros, ~150 USD) Also the most popular website to buy computer parts in my country has some pretty outrageous prices (GT 1030 for 100$) but I saw that Ryzen 3 1200 is for 50 euros. Found a mobo for 50, 8GB ram for 30. Now I got some more money unexpectedly and thought maybe I could get a better Ryzen cpu. Saw that the Ryzen 3 2200G is 80 euros. Question is should I upgrade to the APU and is it better than the 1200? (If you are gonna suggest some cpu's, keep in mind my country's awful computer hardware prices. I will happily provide info about the situation by giving some prices if asked.) P.S. Plan to put the Ryzen next to a RX 570.

I bought a used RX 570 from a guy, and he genuinely didnt want me to mess the card up so he asked what power supply i had. I answered I had a Xilence 500W. And he was pretty reluctant to let me use the card with that PSU. Now I dont remember if the PSU had 6+2 pin, but even if it doesnt, would I be ok with a molex to 6+2 pin adapter? Would I not short out or screw up the card? CPU: AMD FX-6300 MOBO: MSI 760GM-P23 Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo GPU: RX 570 4GB RAM: 8GB GSKILL 1333 PSU: Xilence 500W

So a few days passed and I tried some bios settings such as AMD Cool and Quiet and AMD Turbo Core disabled and that seemed to fix it for a while. But now I got my Hyper 212 and it doesn't go past 20 degrees. It could have been my old thermal paste but atleast I got a real deal for a cpu and mobo. ? Thanks for all the advice!

It does have some, but it's pretty old. I fully understand the dangers of using a pc with no thermal paste on cpu. I know that I seem pretty new to PC building, but I know the basics and I just haven't encountered that big of a problem with any kind of throttling before.

Alright, thanks, right now i have my case open and it seems that HWInfo also says its at 60 degrees. I'll just wait for my Hyper 212 evo.

Sorry for being doubtful and picky, but it seems that you're really knowledgable.? Wouldn't HWMonitor be somewhat accurate since as soon as it reports 200 degrees, CSGO, for example, drops to 15fps a.k.a throttles?

But could it, by chance, be a bad temp sensor? Because I've seen that the FX cpus and am3 mobos have a bad rep for the heat sensors and the failure rate.
