I need help with my fps

[TheRJB00]

No matter what i try my fps in my games is terrible i need help to figure out what is going on. I have been having this issue for a long time and i even put new parts in my computer to try and fix things and nothing has changed. I spent six hours today trying to overclock to get better performance and still nothing i am out of things to try and just need to know what i should do and what is going on to give me such poor performance. Thank You.

Try HWmonitor to see if your CPU is throttling due to heat.
