I've just put in my new CPU the AMD FX 8350 and the computers running fine , but when i open up device manager it shows my old AMD FX4100 CPU?Also when using CPU temp it also only shows 4 cores?

But when i open geforce experience it shown my new CPU under the "My Rig" tab. Help?!

Cheers in advance.

Ok, so your new CPU is now being properly recognized by your system. You may want to download and run the Passmark Performance Benchmark software and compare the results to the benchmarks (keeping in mind the benchmark will reflect users that have overclocked their CPUs to get the highest possible scores).

also i installed a different cooler to the one provided , CoolerMaster hyper 103 and it seems to be a little load , don't know if its because my CPU is hot from maybe not applying enough thermal paste or if its just load in general xD.
