Recently I traded out my old AMD FX-4300 for an FX-8320, and since then, my games have been having regular lag spikes and occassionally freezing. The CPU is not overheating, I have a decent cooling system and haven't overclocked on account of my MOBO being a bit dicey. I know the CPU is compatible with my motherboard (previous 8350 was not) and the only thing I can think to be the cause is the increased consumption of voltage. I have a 500w power supply, and a GTX 660ti, with 8gb of RAM (not sure the speed) any ideas?
