Hello all,
I have an AMD Phenom XII X4 945 Processor that I believe becomes a severe bottleneck at times and not during play games, but doing simple things such as using FireFox and Chrome.
I have an MSI 790X-G45 motherboard.
Running CPUID HWMonitor, I get the following results:
I also looked at the CPU under CPU-Z, and it shows:
I highlighted the clock speed in yellow. This used to flucuate, however, I turned down Cool n Quiet in the BIOS settings to stop this.
RAM image:
Graphics card image:
Do my CPU temperatures look right? Or is my CPU just being a bottleneck and it's time for an upgrade? I only have one case fan.
I don't want to spend any more money on this setup, unless its something cheap like a new cooler or more thermal paste.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
