hi guys and gals,im new to the forum but not a rookie when it comes to building computers.im so pissed right now cuz i thought amd could stand up with any gpu. i think not. here is my situation-i have a amd 8370fx processor,msi 970a g43 mobo,8 gigs patriot 1600mhz,650watt thermaltake smart series psu,and a 120mm thermaltake water2.0. i just bought a msi gtx 960 graphics card..i noticed while playing any game i have my cpu now reaches up to 79c! FTW! Is my 8370fx being bottlenecked by the gtx 960? i take out the graphics card,put in my old 650ti boost 1 gig memory and bam temps while gaming are 50c to 55c.WTF! ok so i put in my old 4130fx with the 960 and bam temps are 77c! OMG......put the 650ti boost in with the 4130fx and temps are like 45c to 50c.unfreaking believeable.question,how is that possible? no overclocking done on both cpus.my enrmax ostrog case is open with a fan blowing in the inside.plus,i've started on a new build too.i have a fractal design r5 case with a msi 970 gaming mobo installed in the case and im wondering should i take the mobo and graphics card back or should i just finish the build and try again with the new motherboard? if it comes down to returning it,i will be buying the i5 4690k.

Problem is with AMD.
AMD has weak single core processing, hence temp rise.

it will be a good soln to change it to an i5.

i was doing some reasearch,i was using hardware monitor program to look at the % of usage from my cpu cores,physical ram and gpu usage,playin dying light (using 4130fx ) 1 core was at like 90% while others were at the 75 to 80%.my gpu usage was jumpy going from 35% to like 80%. my ram was at 86% and not moving. you meaan to tell me that it takes up to 6 gigs of ram to run dying light wtf man.thats a very poor optimized game from what i can see.played crysis 3 and cpu cores were about 80% or more.gpu was in the 40 to 45% range and ram was 31%. so it might be the cpu but wait i gotta do the benching on the 8370 for my final conclusion.

ok so all of a sudden temps are fine now with the gtx 960,WTF! i didnt do any changes,checked my taskmanager to see if there were any running processes that was making my temps fluctuate but there was none other than that all is well.cpu is at 50c gaming on the 8370 overclocked to 4.3. im still stunned by what the hell was going on here.but to top it off i really think it was my motherboard.well time to go ahead and finish with my new build.peace
