Have you tried overclocking or unlocking the cores of your cpu?

Aww. that sucks. Glad you tried though.
If you know someone or can borrow or get a phenomII x4 for a good price I would try that since your motherbd doesn't support the AMD FX series CPU's 🙁

Can you tell us more about how you stream? What hardware & programs you use. This would help in determining what you actually need.
