[SOLVED] hello, i updated my cpu and motherboard from an amd fx 6300 to an intel i5 3570k and a gigabyte z77x up4th, i also am running a 1660 super.

after the update, call of duty modern warfare (My current game) is running even worse, i've downloaded the correct gpu drivers, am i missing anything?

EDIT: Game is running bad, lower fps than before with the 6300. game is also crashing, updated drivers, tried cpu priority, tried uninstalling, reinstalling shaders.

did you reinstall the os?
ram? make and model of the psu?

yes i did, i made a boot key for windows 10 and installed everything, cpu usage is down when im playing the game but it will randomly crash and run around 30-40 fps, i was getting nearly 70-90 before

DDR3 16gb cheap ballistix sport ram, 500w evga which may be too little but i will upgrade today probably

What are your CPU temperatures like?

85ish celsius with a few tabs and discord open

Some people think as long as something is filling the memory slot the PC should work. Sorry, but I don't know what memory you have. I suggest using a part number and/or link to it.

If it is 85C on the desktop then it must be thermally throttling during gameplay. I think you should repaste and reseat the CPU heatsink

okay, i will do that. But also during gameplay my GPU usage is only 1.5% on any given game and 80%cpu usage, would this be a consequence of thermal throttling?

I'm not sure possibly. What are your maximum temperatures whilst gaming? It's only a 65W CPU so shouldn't be too hard to cool. I have the same CPU but with a large heatsink with a very low RPM fan, idle temps around 25 to 30 and gaming about 60ish I think

highest it reached was in the 104c, i have a cooler ordered on the way but just curious about the gpu usage, it's making games impossible and my switch redundant.

It's possible if the CPU downclocks from 3.4Ghz to say 800Mhz it won't be able to process draw calls fast enough and send them to the GPU but I'm not sure I've never let my CPU run that hot lol

I'm thinking that perhaps you didn't install the stock cooler quite right or something
