[SOLVED] New Cpu WORSE fps :(

[shanetalbot13]

Hi,

I've recently bought a i5 8500 cpu, new mobo and ram as my old motherboard died so I saw the opportunity to upgrade.

But unfortunately, I am getting worse fps than I was with my fx 8350 (old cpu) like 80 to 50 fps on cs:go when previously I'd get a constant 150+ and this tends to be the same on most games I've played so far. I feel like I'm getting low fps on all games

And when I open my task manger the game would only be at 50ish% usage but my total cpu usage would be at 100% like it wouldn't add up

Any help guys please this is honestly upsetting me as it cost a lot of money


Specs:

i5 8500
16GB ram
ASUS Prime H310M-A
Hi100 v2 cooler
Corsair 750w
GTX 1060

Did you wipe your hard drive or SSD and fresh install Windows during this upgrade?

During any upgrade in your computer I'd always recommend a fresh install , especially when changing your motherboard!! Any change to a new platform requires a reinstall .

After such a major hardware change you need to do a clean install. Without it you'll just end up chasing issues and have performance issues.
