Lower fps

[connor carlton]

I recently bought a msi 970 gaming motherboard to replace my ASUS M5A78L-M. Before the switch I was getting about 100-110fps on the games I play on max settings. Since switching to the the msi motherboard. both low and maximum settings get 30-40 fps. I've tried switching back to the old motherboard and no change, tried other cpu, psu and other ram and still no luck. Downloaded all my lastest drivers and made sure everything is up to date and still no luck. Can anyone help me?

Pc specs
Cpu - AMD FX 6350 six core
Motherboard - MSI 970
Psu - EVGA 700W
Ram - crucial balistic ddr3 ram 16gb (8x2)
GPU - Msi r9 280x
1tb seagate barracuda hard drive

Maybe inside your bios something has changed, like cpu clock speeds, ram clock speeds.

Also you can see if your gpu/cpu boosts to their supposed clock speeds while under load.

For that you can try CPU-Z for your cpu and msi afterburner for your gpu (just my favorites, there are many more)

This sounds like you had an overclocked processor that is no longer overclocked due to the mobo change. Did you or a friend overclock your processor?

Nope, never over clocked my pc, I tend not to touch that side of things, just know what I need to have a decent pc but not the brains to fix it if a problem occurs
