[SOLVED] Cheap mobo .Thermal throttling

[INeedSerotonin]

Well first of all plz don't say go to ryzen ..I would if I had the money .But I'm a uni student away from home and rent is more important to me than my PC. I'll probably upgrade in april and save some money for my summer vacations too .Anyway I have a pretty cheap mobo, even for a fx , a biostar a960d v2+ mobo (from what I've read in the forums a bad mobo but ig that is the first build mistakes) .Anyway I recently swapped my fx 6300 for a 8150 so I can play bf v conquest decently (medium settings 60+fps.achievable with a rx 470 8gb and 16gb ram) and I would if the mobo wasn't thermal throttling .So what could be a good underclock/undervolt for the cpu. I also heard about heatsinks on mosfets work too.will these be any good?

First mistake:
fx 6300 for a 8150
with your board, you should've stuck with the 6300 alone and just saved the money for a brand new Ryzen build.

I wouldn't drop any more money on the platform, instead make sure that you've got a fan pointed at the VRM area to cool that mosfet, although you shouldn't have gone for the 8150, to begin with. People who have worked with a motherboard that's somewhat close to supporting the 8000 series of FX processors from AMD struggled, so you won't fair any better with a mediocre board.

Can you please list your specs like so:

Yeah sure
CPU: AMD FX 8150
MOBO: Biostar A960D V2+
GPU: XFX RX 470 8GB
RAM:Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz
PSU: Thermaltake Smart SE 530W Semi-Modular
CASE: Innovator Daybreak
SSD: Intenso High Performance 120GB
HDD: Samsung 500GB 2.5'' Sata II 5400rpm
+Seagate Barracuda 500gb Sata III 7200
+(Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB Portable External Hard Drive)
COOLER: Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim

Btw a bag of 30 heatsinks costs 2.30€ straight from China and it is proved that it helps a lot with thermal throttling .

oh and i have two 120mm fans with the case.one exhaust and one that pulls air .ill probably order some more cheap red fans too.

you need more case fans at the very least
