Computer suddenly getting awful fps on every game.

[inb4chewy]

Hey, so I've had this issue with my pc for a while now and I have tried lots of solutions but they never work. I use to get around 200-300fps on csgo, I play on the lowest settings on purpose. Then one day I can't get over 60-80, it lags when more then one thing is happening and totally unplayable at some points.
I've recently formatted both of my storage devices and installed windows 10. But it still hasn't changed. I drop fps on every game and can't run gta 5 anymore above 30 fps on low settings.

Specs of my PC aren't the best but it did use to run games fine.
AMD R9 270x
AMD 6300FX SIX CORE 3.5 GHZ
4gb x 2 hyper x furry.
Asrock 970pro3 r2.0

Did a performance test on passmark and got the following:
Passmark 2155
CPU mark 5136
2D mark 366
3D mark 5537
Memory mark 1000

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Are CPU's thermals under control?

Any signs of malware?

Use AMD Overdrive software and go to logging, start the log and turn on the game. If the thermal margin shows 0 celsius as minium, it's throttling the cpu.
I have the same cpu and it does 8300 in passmark with a bit of oc.

Just cleaned out the cpu gonna wait for it warm back up. I've reinstalled everything, so I don't think so.

I think its throttling your cpu. I've got the same one and with a bit of oc it does 8300 in passmark.

My cpu was at a temp of 70 10 minutes ago.

Use AMD Overdrive and then post the thermal margins at full load.

This is my 6300 with prime95 running. See how the margin is 22 celsius, that means it can get 22 degrees warmer before max temperature.

While gaming the CPU frequency doesn't drop and the thermal margins are that good? If so, then there may be something wrong with your GPU.

After csgo lowest settings.

As you can see your CPU is overheating hard and you may actually damage it. Check if the fan is spinning, clean the pc from dust, reapply the thermal paste.
Do you use aftermarket cooler and do you have enough airflow through the case?

I'm gonna go currys tomorrow and pick up a cooler and some new paste

I'm using Scythe Mugen 4 but its a bit pricey. Hyper 212 evo should work well too.
