Hey all, first post here - I hope its in the right section etc kind of new to tech forums. Anywayyy! I've recently bought a Novatech Barebone Bundle with an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard and a AMD FX-8320 8-Core (Vishera) Socket 942 CPU and 8GbDD3 RAM.
My problem is that, regardless of the fact its 8 CPUs @ ~~3.5GHz, it feels not that much superior to my old 2.7 Duo-Core AMD CPU. Everything came to me "Pre-installed and configured" which according to their spec details is best performance pre-overclock.
I mainly got concerned that something was up earlier today when I was rendering a 5min Fraps Recording from an MMO game, while rendering in 1980x1080 HD my cpu usage hit 99% instantly, all 8 cores were maxed and my CPU temp shot up to 79 degree Celsius, now this is something that I STRUGGLED to do on my duo 2.7GHz, yet still now struggle on this.
Sorry for rambling. Is this normal, or am I dealing with a fault system? Any information would be great, and sorry again if it is in the wrong section.
Regards,
Shigu
