But the uefi bios P2.4 talks of even better support of FX8350!
I just a few days ago changed to the FX8320 and having Windows7 freezes many times and the 1333RAM set on Auto will run as 800 only?!?!! If I manually set the RAM to 1333 I get a quick Windows freeze!
Could it be the PSU? `Cause since I increased all the voltages a little bit, I`m experiencing at least less Windows freezes!
Could my GTX 760 be the reason due to only 550W PSU and the W7 graphics index droped from 7.9+7.9 to just 6.0+6.0?!
To add is my cpu temps haven`t yet reached more than appr.44°C!
I have installed 32GB of 1333 RAM.
I use 2 SSD`s, one 64GB and the other 128GB, and a 2TB HDD plus an old 250GB SATA HDD.
I guess 16A+18A on 12V of my PSU isn´t really enough?
I already manually (by cutting cables) added some power adapters for the GTX 760 and the 8Pin of the MB.
I have already ordered a new PSU but be grateful for a tip anyway!
And always after a few seconds running CPU-Z or ASRock Tuner to read sensors aso. I get a freeze.
But I saw that my GTX 760 is running at only 135MHz clock speed,
so it dawns more on me that my PSU is the reason!?
