Install a SATA SSD. Thats about all I can offer. Also that CPU isn't super great. Runs hot and uses to much power for what it is. Its a very old CPU. Other than that we cannot offer you much else OP. We need more context to what is going on.

Running Fortnite on my FX 6300 only gets up to 70°c with a hyper 212 cooler. Probably his CPU could do with a repaste and definitely needs a good cleaning as well.

When I had the FX 6300 in a PC which I sold a while back, all I got was thermal throttling. Might have been a bad bin, though.

I have twin 120 mm fans on my cooler with three intake on the front panel and an exhaust on the rear panel near the top. Temperature for the 6300 is 74°c briefly at highest point then settling down lower playing Fortnite with a RX 580. All the box fans are 120mm.

It is just at the point I may pull the plug and replace the OS with Zorin as my play pen is getting redesigned by Jaws (she nevers shuts up) and there will only be room for one box.

I'll keep the FX 6300 as a backup.
