Yaow, so yea, I got a AMD 6000+ AM2 3.00ghz processor with a big ass cooler and fan.
Origionally my BIOS didn't recognise the chip so I updated the BIOS (Windows still worked) So I tried it ou on CoD and it was quite stuttery, I figured this was just down to the out of date BIOS.
Anyway it still runs like pewp, so I tried it on LFS and sure enough the frames start out at 170 or so and drop to about 15.
A year or two ago I updated the graphics card and had similar results to what i'm having now and it turned out to be the PSU not being strong enough. I now have a decent 500w (Or 450 I can't remember now) and didn't think the new chip would be too much for it, I think this is the problem but i'm better getting some answers from the clever boffins first...
Yea, I guess it's supposed to but when the pc isn't really doing much the clock speed goes down to 1000MHz, I thought if the processor was throtting during heavy load it would show up on the CPUZ but it sticks at 3.00ghz all the way...
Thanks
