VERY LOW 3DMARK score with gtx 970 and fx 8350

[Speezquick]

So i had been experiencing frame drops in game etc and i decided that i will buy a motherboard soon (havent done it yet) But some time ago i got 8500 in score with a few framedrops then also but now i got freaking 4500 x2 What the heck. Will the motherboard fix this or is there something wrong with my gpu cpu etc? could the bad motherboard have damaged other components.

Specs:Msi Gtx 970 with 1 fan, fx 8350, MSI 970a-g43, 8gb ddr3 ram 1tb hdd bitfenix nova case (bad airflow) Also the physics score was 7k now and graphics score 4k same as last but why is my cpu getting better scores then my gpu when like 4 different people i have talked to said it was my motherboard

dont use water,just use a plastic card (bank card or similar) to scrape the majority off both the cpu lid & the cooler.
Then wipe whatever you can away with a piece of kitchen towel.
It does not have to be spotless mate - a dull sheen is absolutely fine.

that is how much paste you want on the cpu at the absolute max - dont spread it at all - just drop the cooler on & screw it down.
Ok I only have to take the cpu cooler off right i dont have to rebuild my pc again right just take off the cooler then clean the cpu then apply paste?

absolutely mate,what does the evo use - think its just a couple of screws to the brackets??
so yes jus remove the heatsink,clean the cpu top & heatsink bottom as ive described ( a bank card is by far the best tool for the job - wipe up the excess paste dont let it drop on to the motherboard or around the cpu socket)

apply as the photo (id use a little less personally) & reseat the cpu cooler - dont spread the paste at all - the cooler will do that on its own.
