Hey all,
So I'm trying to figure this out. I just bought an AMD 8350 2 days ago. I didn't get the chance to mess around with anything until recently (today). Something I noticed when I was running Intel Burn In Test or Prime95, the CPU began to throttle itself to 3.4 GHz. Now, I know a lot of you are going to say its thermals, but this is happening well within temps (40-50 Degrees Celcius). I've gone into the BIOS and have disabled anything that would prevent it running at max performance (Cool n quiet, C1E, APM) but nothing seems to be working. These are my specs:
AMD 8350
Corsair H60 Push/Pull
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R.1
8 GB or Gskill Sniper RAM
ASUS DirectCUII TOP 680
Seasonic 620W 80 Bronze Non-Mod PSU
