Hello,

So yesterday I was until 3 am trying to figure out my PC's problem, and I think I've found it.
So my first impression was that CPU was getting hot, because every time it reached 100% usage, my fps would drop like a lot, from 100+ to 20-, and people have told me before that it was thermal throttling, but my CPU temps are perfect, I usually don't even reach 50ºC.

So yesterday I did some digging on my PC and went around and found that when that 100%usage happens my mobo temps reached 50ºC instantly.So my thinking is that my mobo doesn't work well with heat at all.

I just need your opinion on what should I do, and if this is a possible problem :)

Thank you!

I do not know the board, neither have I found any reviews. There is aforum thread about it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1891470/asrock-970-extreme3-motherboard-good-motherboard.html
