Please remember that you are comparing a highend CPU that is overclocked and uses around 200watts, to a lowend APU at 40-50watts full load on CPU and GPU.
I have a 955BE with DDR3 and it really needs a voltage kick to get above 3400-3500Mhz, the cooling needed was not worth it at all.
I changed it out because it could not play BF1 at 1900*1200 with more then 50 FPS.
This Athlon 3000 could be a replacement for my AM1 Mediacenter, that has a passive cooler on it.
I think the highest I went was 3.9GHZ but I didn't raise the voltage and my gaming performance actually did worse. My chip at 3.7GHZ has the stock voltage still and runs nice and cool.
I just ordered a few parts for my Ryzen build and will keep this Phenom just to see how it handles games in the future lol.

So....you're upset that this CPU which is a dual-core CPU compared to your quad-core CPU is besting you?
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Phenom-II-X4-965-vs-AMD-Athlon-200GE/606vsm592714
I get that userbenchmark isn't the most reliable, but considering there's no one realistically comparing a 3000g to a 965, and userbenchmark doesn't have the 3000g, nore the 220ge or 240ge which are closer to the 3000g, we'll have to settle for the 200ge
Even the 200ge has better performance then your processor.
Not really sure how it's not impressive for a dual-core to beat a quad-core processor in pretty much, if not all, scenarios.
Not impressed with the FARCRY 5 results. A patch came out a few days ago for the missing CPU SSE instruction set and my Phenom X4 965BE at 3.7GHZ, 8GB DDR2 Ram ( yes DDR2) RX560 4GB, Windows 7 & an old school 1TB mechanical hard drive on ULTRA settings at 1080P was 37-45FPS!

Can someone please suggest a cheap yet nice motherboard to go along with this CPU?
Cheers
the Gigabyte B450 Aorus M would be the absolute cheapest i would ever buy for such cpu and this motherboard will never go on anything more than the 3600 really
but i highly suggest the msi mortar max if you can find it pretty much the vrm thermals are in line with the tomahawk max and with decent airflow in future you will have no problems
handling the 3950x but with out overclock if the msi mortar max is not available on your region the Msi Tomahawk Max is also a great choice same vrm's just worse back panel connectivity really and bigger form factor
now if you want something even cheaper pretty much the rest of the motherboards bellow the 80 usd price bracket ....are vrm wise kinda terrible but they will be able to handle the 3000g just fine ....i would be very sceptical to equip em with something stronger in the future the reason i am looking at this with a dead set mind of future updates is because later down the line ...2 ...3....5 years down the line you will have no problems snatching a 3700/3800/3900 ...etc for dirty cheap on the second hand market

Phenoms architecture has been out for the last 15 or so years. Yeah so it has 2 extra cores but that's not the point. It's like you saying a Chevy 350 tbi engine will beat a 4 cyclider car but the catch is that the 4 cylinder uses modern technology to make it comparable to an old V8 engine.
Admit it everyone said if they even added the SSE instruction set the Phenom still wouldn't run great. In my point is the false accusations from it not running the game to it running on ULTRA settings is a crazy defeat/surprise!
