[SOLVED] Low FPS but cannot figure out why ?

[Civiliace]

I cannot figure out why my frames are low, I think it might be my processor? If not, does anyone figure out why my frames are so low?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition?

What games do you play?

Use Resource Monitor and Task Manager to observe system performance. First while not gaming and doing other things and then, second, while gaming.

Use both but only one at a time.

Discover what system resources are being use, to what extent (%), and what is using that resource.

How low is low?
Your specs look fine for most games.

If you suspect your processor, check temperatures.
Possibly you are throttling.
Run hwmonitor while gaming.
Look to see if your max temperature was 100c. or near it.
That is the throttle point.
Look at the minimum temperature.
If it is much higher than 10-15c. over ambient, then your cooler has an issue.

Cooler issues can be a weak cooler, loose or uneven mount, insufficient case cooling air intake.

Run userbenchmark and share the public link to the results. Not the best comparison tool but can be useful for spotting components that are underperforming.

Wow, your cpu is massively underperforming. What is the cpu temperature when running the benchmark?

Also why is your RAM set to 2667mhz and not 3200mhz?

Do you even have a CPU cooler installed???

How do I do these things like check the temp and change the ram
I am some what of a newbe

Is my pc overheating????

Is my pc overheating????

We're assuming yes based on the clock frequency.

Exactly! Install a cooler or check if yours is properly attached and fan spinning.

Everything looks good I do have a cooler and fan is spinning

Remove it and clean off thermal paste and reapply new thermal paste.
