lag spikes

ive noticed while driving my fps drops down to 5/10 fps for a seccond then going back to 60 fps
this happens on mostly large maps
how can i prevent this?
specs are
amd a8 5600k
16 gb ddr3 1333 ram overclocked to 1600
gtx 950 with a slight overclock
this also happens in gta 5 when going at fast speeds but noticebly less agressive (dropping to 20/30 fps for a seccond)
how would i fix this it ruins the driving imersion for me

 

get a better cpu

 

i know that iam getting one in the omcomming months but the amd is atm overclocked to 4,1 ghz helping the bottleneck

 

Well then there's your solution. Those old AMD chips are terrible.

 

I know it's the best system i have after my i7 blew up is there anyway to remove the lag spike every so often?

 

Check your temps. It might start to thermal throttle. Either that, or your CPU has gotten unstable overtime, and will need the overclock to be toned down abit.

Also make sure that you're running a more aggresive fan curve than normal, to help keep everything cooler while overclocked. Sure, it'll make more noise, but it's whatever really

 

Bad part is windows cannot read the temperature of the cpu it keeps going down to the minus levels
In the bios it works
I'll try to make the cooler faster
But atm i can't since its temporarily in the living room and its ortherwise way to loud

 

Clean your cooling solution and apply new thermal paste, that will help it.

 

gpu max 64 c cpu around 20 c from its (thermal margain)
