Checking for active background tasks and temperatures. Monitoring system health with MSI Afterburner and RTSS. Assessing if components are overheating.
Your computer seems to have a lot of applications open, and it might be struggling with storage space.
It's reasonable to say 160 frames per second works well for a stock 3570K in CS:GO.
Using lower settings in this mode, the I7 2600 delivers significantly higher FPS—around 230 to 260 frames per second—compared to other configurations.
The 2600 is a 4C/8T model, while the 3570K is a 4C/4T. The marginally higher IPC from Ivy Bridge won't compensate for the absence of hyper-threading, especially when running at normal speeds. In general, no matter the configuration, you'll likely remain CPU constrained in CS:GO.
