Fatal1ty 970 Performance problem

The first thing I thought of was overheating issues with that FX-9370 of yours. What sort of cooling do you have on your CPU and otherwise? Note that the CPU support list says that both of these apply when using an FX-9370 or FX-9590:

-For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design.
-For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a decent liquid cooling system

Could you also list the rest of your system specs? PSU, case and so on.

That cooler is definitely not enough to keep your CPU cool based on what I could find on it, not even close. It's barely enough for a 125 W TDP CPU. You should use the stock water cooler for the CPU and get a spot fan to cool the socket and the VRM section.

Let me be a bit more specific. Your CPU is a 220 W TDP monster that requires a lot from the cooling of your system. The stock water cooler should be enough to keep the CPU itself cool, but the CPU is not the only thing that will run hot. Your motherboard has a 8+2 power phase design, which is not great for a CPU with this high a TDP. In practice your VRM section will likely run pretty hot from the get-go and if you don't pay attention to its cooling, you may experience instability or throttling even if the CPU itself seems to be running cool.

So, in addition to using the water cooler, your case should have a fan blowing air out through the back panel right next to the VRM section. The air flow that this will generate will help keep the VRM cool, but the fan needs to be moving at least a certain amount of air for it to be enough. I don't remember what the AMD requirement was, but I don't think there's any sense in saving money here since fans aren't that expensive to begin with. A good 140 mm fan spinning at full speed should be a good start, but check the specs of each of your options.

In addition to making sure your case has a healthy amount of cool air running through it, you likely need to provide extra ventilation for the CPU socket as well as the VRM section. This you can achieve by placing a spot fan so that it blows air over both. You just need to figure out how to do it in practice (what fits inside the case, how will you fasten it etc.).

Thanks PetrolHead!Thank you for your advices.Since I only have Raijintek Pallas I need to buy some water cooling system for CPU and some case fan.I will certainly  listen to your advices.

I dont know...  I Googled it before buying and found that this motherboard is fully compatible with this processor.You can see here that it has a score 10: http://www.pc-specs.com/cpu/AMD/FX/FX-9370/1876/Compatible_Motherboards
And I also check it on pcpartpicker.com and got same result.

Now I managed to cool down my processor with some fan and now the temperature is around 60 C but I still cant install Windows.Still freezes. :(
