I have a computer I purchased secondhand. It is branded Cyberpower. I've recently upgraded my graphics card to the GTX 960. It runs good but in the process I found a perplexing thing about my motherboard and CPU. It has an AMD FX-4130, a 125 Watt chip. But the motherboard as stated on MSI website specs is in fact a 95 Watt am3+.760GM-P34 (FX). http://us.msi.com/support/mb/760GM-P34-FX.html#support-cpu How's this possible? Could this be what is bottlenecking my system and giving me slightly poorer frame rates than gtx 960 is supposed to get? I feel like I need to switch to a 95w chip asap now and not do any intense gaming until I do. What do you think?
Also I hate that my options for upgrades are now the weak 95w fx chips. I was all set on considering an fx 8350. Now I'm thinking about just ditching amd all together, and getting a Intel i5/mobo combo.
