Lower FPS than I should have?

[Jalobe]

Not really sure if it's my gpu or cpu or whatever so I just posted here. I play games a lot and I got myself a new pc probably around 8-9 months ago. Everything was great and I was running games fantastically. Then one day I come on to play CS:GO and suddenly my fps is down from the 275-350 to 200. I was on low settings at the time so I was curious to see how low it would drop on high to to my astonishment it was higher at 250-300. I try to play CS:GO now and on both settings my fps is down to 150. 

 

My System specs are as follows;

Amd Fx-9590

Amd r9 380

ATNG 800w psu

2 Terabyte harddrive

128gb ssd

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R5 motherboard

16gb ddr3 ram

Not sure if there is anything that I missed.

 

What i want to know is why my FPS is much lower now. I know that I need to reapply new thermal paste to my cpu but I'm not sure if that can cause the significant fps drop that I am receiving. Also whats up with higher fps on higher settings, I don't get that at all. If there are any benchmarks that I can take or any questions you have to ask thats fine by me. Thanks in advance.

Csgo is CPU bound, and you have what is effectively a 8 core sandy bridge CPU that goes to 5ghz  

 

see if its throttling 

see if you have multi core rendering on..if not, turn it on!

see if your cores are parked, there are tutorials online.

I have multi core rendering on, not sure what you mean by "Sandy bridge CPU that goes to 5ghz :)". How would I know if its throttling, I don't exactly know that much about Computers.

Check for parked cores, my brother got fx8350 and same happen to him. It was something in CS:GO settings or parked cores. It is not about hardware be sure of that.

If temperatures are above 70c. Try setting launch options with -threads 4 -high. 5v5 I usually get 150-200fps on a 8350 @4.5

I don't think the temperatures reach that high, as I go from in idle to CS:GO and it starts off at low fps. Once I'm in a 5v5 I run at 150 fps on high settings and 200 on low settings. I don't understand the high settings getting more fps.

Sadly my cores are not parked.
