As the title says, before I used my system with my old phenom, I had formatted my pc, now I have upgraded it to FX 8350, Nothing goes wrong on benchmarks though, Do I have to reinstall windows anyway ?

If you play a GPU intensive game, it will put more load on your GTX 760, not your new FX8350. Therefore you won't see much FPS increase.

I'm also not understanding your original question. Could you reword it? What I gathered is that you used to have an old phenom processor and you upgraded to the FX8350. This means you bought a new motherboard. You didn't specific if you're trying to use the same hard drive you used with the old hardware. If you are, you...

Even though I try to play a GPU based game, there is not even 1 fps change. I have gtx 760 with 2x4 gb corsair 1600mhz ram

(If you're using the same hard drive and you change motherboards, reinstalling is needed.)

Don't quote me, that's just what I've heard.

I have written there GPU instead of CPU, my mistake I'm sorry to be unclear. I already have a new motherboard, I had reinstalled my windows with my old phenom II before I bought FX 8350 (gig 970a-ud3p). When I run Prime95 test with default clock speed, everything is ok and also I have seidon 120v and its temps are very good so it is not possible that my CPU throthles itself.

Thank you for your time.
