Hi, 3 days ago i buy new AMD fx 8320, but after change my computer start to hangs/reset some times, so I installed prime95 and HWmonitor for testing for testing.
When I launch prime95 - some thread stop working with error (expected less than .4, got .5)
The first thing I've done - by reading the asrock CPU support list site ( http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870 Extreme3 R2.0/?cat=CPU ) "* For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design."
is install additional FAN for cooling the motherboard:

And problem still exists, next thing I've done is go to bios and disabled APM - after that prime95 works well - max temp is 56 Celsius on full load
But after disabling APM - i have noticed that core are on 3.5GHz - with no turbo - I found in AMD OVERDRIVE that I can turn it back - but after turning it on computer start hangs again and prime95 again stop with errors.
My question is what can i else do - to get it work with turbo? or is my motherboard fail and i should repleace it? Or CPU is damaged and i should take it back on guaranty?
rest of my specs:
cooling - ZALMAN CNPS 10X PERFORMA
PSU 580W XILENCE
HIS RADEON 7870
2x 4GB DDR3 1600 Goodram Play
ssd kingston hyperx 120GB
hdd samsung 1TB
LG DVD-RW
