Hey guys I think im going to grab a fx 6300, are there any windows patches or firmware I should get for the 6300 to run better. I herd of these two patches
and also the one logan talked about in his fx8350 vs intel review.
And if I have to get a new mobo should I do a fresh windows install for drives etc or is there another way like driver sweeper etc. Oh and it I do have to do the fresh install should i go windows 8 I have a copy
well , ofc you need to do a fresh windows install, whenn you buy a new mainboard, it may have diffrent hardware, so big chance windows wouldn´t boot, and you will get a bsod.
and of those driver sweeper programs are all crap, better install or download the latest mainborddrivers on the website from ya manufacturer!
wenn you buy a new mainboard.
About those patches..
those patches are used for windows server 2008 and windows 7 x64. not windows 8.
i installed those patches on my windows 7 x64 but i dont see much diffrence with the things i doing with it, only a bit more cpu usage. so i removed those patches again. cause i didnt see diffrence in performance.
And by the way its not an amd related problem, its a windows problem, all multi core processor, intel and amd, have the same issues, as far you can call it issues.
