Rig:
CPU: FX 8350
GPU: GTX 970 4GB
Motherboard: 990FXA UD3 R5 rev 1.0
Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120v
RAM: 16GB 1334 mhz (8x2)
Storage: 2 TB HDD, 128 GB SSD Boot Drive
So I've had an issue where my CPU (or motherboard I think) isn't performing as well as it should be performing. So sometimes when I play apex legends or the witcher 3 I get a stable 60 fps and after restarting the PC it fluctuates from 40 to 60. This is consistent across all games but what's interesting is that if I hadn't turned my PC off, it would've worked just fine. Around 5% of the time, when I switch it on it works well (60 FPS) and the vast majority of the time it doesn't. I've tried identifying what caused my PC to work better at times to no avail; I've tried overclocking, increasing the VCORE voltage, undervolting my CPU, OC'ing my ram, disabling/enabling cool and quiet,messing with all the C states in the bios and increasing my CPU fan speed. Over the last week it's worked well after booting twice. Once was after I reset the CMOS on my Motherboard so all the settings were the optimized defaults(note that resetting my CMOS hasn't caused my PC to work properly since then). The second time was when I had altered some settings in the BIOS (pictures below), note that after restarting it went back to performing poorly without me changing the settings. After I reset he CMOS and it worked, I took a picture of the HWmonitor data and that's also attached below. I also took a picture of the HWMonitor data after about an hour of game time when my PC was performing poorly, for reference (this is the blurrier picture with the smaller window)
Thanks in Advance!

I forgot to add that when I bench my CPU (while its performing poorly) in CPU-Z my scores are on par with an fx 8350. I haven't run a benchmark test while it was performing well and it hasn't ran well in 3 days or so despite me restarting it multiple times.
