Now ive been having problems while playing videos games or stream video games that has persisted through out many hardware changes. I have fresh installed windows to the SSD, got a boss cooling system. Did everythig other then replace my CPU, to whcih i have overclocked with no noticable change in the frame drops. During gaming, i will suddenly get CPU GHZ drops from 4.6 to 1.5. i used to believe it was thermal throttling due to watching how when the cpu hit 70c it would drop the performance down, but now it never gets higher then 50c and still has those issues. The thermal readings are in 45C so its not thermal throttling. For the life of me, i cant seem to figure out what is causing these drops, its not a program, its not a slow HDD as i use a SSD. Something is causing this and i will like to know what, and what can be done if anything. HELP PLEASE!

It's throttling due to CPU/socket temps or VRM temps. You can never trust CPU temp readings with the FX processes unfortunately.

With saying it's dropping down to 1.5GHz when gaming indicates something is causing it to throttle for some unknown reason.

So what can be done then? If its the VRM temps (Not familiar with that term)

VRM is due to the power delivery set up for the CPU that the motherboard has. I would get a fan blowing on them directly if you can and see if the same thing happens when gaming. If not then you have found the issue.

Alright man. First of all, thank you so dang much, it has literally been years of searching trying to find an answer to that question, and what i did, legit was take the rear fan thats beside the cpu, and tape some wax paper to curve downwards to the board, so that the air is first being somewhat insulated by the aftermarket cooler, and second so air is directly blowing onto the VRM module. 

 

The result.... Freaking problem solved... 

 

So thank you a million time man, seriously took years to get an answer for that.

Not a problem it's a common issue with AM3+ boards and pushing high voltage and clock speeds on some boards.
