Do I need to upgrade my motherboard?

[MeguminCrimson]

I just changed to GTX 1070, but I don't know if my motherboard is making sure to use it to it's full potential. Very nooby when it comes to motherboards.

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
Motherboard: Z87-K
RAM: 16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz

Well are having any issues with gaming? Everything looks good to me, and there is no bottle neck.

Battlefield 1 tells me my fps is low (haven't checked what it is. Btw using 144 Hz monitor) and Speccy tells me my motherboard is over 110 celcius minimum.

What resolution are you running at? And is BF1 the only game?

 

[MeguminCrimson]

1920x1080

 

[MeguminCrimson]

Only battlefield 1

So what is the FPS you are getting, you should be getting way over 60. How old is your motherboard?

It's a 2013 model. The fps as said do I not know, but it does tell me my fps is low in left corner with icon. When a lot of things happen in game, am I also getting fps drops. On phone, so can't check fps at the moment.

Well, there could be some settings you may need to change. I believe it's part of the expereince and you should be able to optmize it with GeForce experience.
