FPS issues in every game with current setup

[mcredbaron]

Ok, so I have been searching for a answer to this for months now, Originally I had a:
i7-7700k at 4.2Ghz
Gtx 1070
16 Gb 2400 Ram
I used to run games at drasticly higher FPS then I do currently, my main example is Overwatch, on Low in the Training ground I would get 300 FPS non stop, and in game about 200ish easy, then one day out of the blue (mind you there has been no update or software update to the machine) im getting 70 FPS to 100 at most on the lowest settings.

Now to the current date, I have now replaced the GPU with a 1080 and im getting similar results, better, but similar.
I have also replaced the Motherboard thinking it was something on that end.
I have run Cinebench and im only getting a score of about 400, so I was thinking it was the CPU, but the thing is it's still running at 4,2 Ghz or even higher. so im not sure if I should replace it or find another solution.
Also, I have all the latest Drivers installed

How are the temps and loads on your CPU and GPU in-game? MSI AB can show you that. https://s5.postimg.org/t4ajhopvb/Far_Cry4_2016_11_08_22_14_29_543.jpg

You can run Userbenchmark and it might show you if you have a ball and chain someplace.

shows my system's regular performance. I had a GFX card driver crash and this

was the result.

from your image it looks like your gpu is way underclocked. have to changed your power profile?

Nice catch That however is a screenshot from when I had a 970.

My card runs anywhere from 2000-2067MHz(slight OC).

But for some reason my idle temp is insane now at around 90 at idle. I have replaced the thermal paste and checked my water cooler. nothing seems out of the norm

Sounds like it's thermal throttling then.

Im using a AIO right now, and the fans are still working, am I better off just replacing my cooler?

Yup. sounds like the pump has gone bad.

Yes, unless you know how to replace the pump.

Do you have a budget? Air or liquid?
