Hey guys.
So I'm using an FX-8350 that's been overclocked to 4.5ghz with a Hyper Evo 212x. It seems stable, but I'm having trouble because my FPS drops about in half when it's overclocked compared to the stock version.
My motherboard is an MSI Gaming 970 (I know the specs but it works fine).
This doesn't make sense to me and I really don't understand what's going on.
Any suggestions could help a lot. Temps never hit 60, so throttling seems unlikely, and since the GPU is an MSI r9 390, it probably isn't the card itself.
I'm still confused. Thanks for any ideas!

This doesn't seem logical to me either. Your O/C should still provide a modest boost, not a huge jump or a significant reduction.
You're probably not reaching your monitor's refresh rate limit with the OC. It's possible you're using Vsync, and enabling it might be the cause. Just a guess.
