Need help with bottle neck and upgrading

[Robert Lindsay]

So I got myself a r9 290

but im bottlenecking with my 6300

I was considering overclocking but from what I read online that my mobo

msi 970a-g43 does poor over clocking

So my question for you is should I invest in a better cpu like a 8350 and keep the mobo I currently have.

Or keep the 6300 and get a better mobo and over clock the 6300 with a better mobo?

Even if you can respond on the computer, it does not mean the the pins are not broken. One pin can still allow simple tasks, but if you just happen to click somewhere you didn't mean to... No, it won't happen like that, but you get my point.

Put jeez taking off the heat sink is such a bitch

And? Even if you do have to return the mobo or buy a new one, it will be already done. And if you don't want to do it, and it turns out IT was the mobo after all, more headaches for you man.

Yeah true just at this point just kinda mad dont really know where the source of the problem is.

You can take off the heatsink. If there are any bent pins, you can't RMA(I believe) do to user fault. If there are no bent pins, then RMA/buy a new mobo.

Alright then I will try that see if anything is bent
