So I spilled something on my pc. I'm an idiot. I knew the MB fried but I was lucky enough to have a new one still in the box that I had bought a few months ago and never installed. I didn't install because I didn't want to have to buy windows 10 and go though all that. The new board is a 970A SLI Krait Edition and used my fx-4130 cpu from the old system. Everything booted up fine and windows even worked, just had to re-activate it. I was happy because the new board had more sata connectors, 6g sata connectors for my SSD, etc.
Everything seemed fine until I tried to play a game I had played a day earlier with the old board. It was very slow and choppy. I did some testing and benchmarking and my cpu benchmarks way lower than it should. I checked the bios, even overclocked it and still geekbench gives me a 765 single core and 2200 multi core score. Others with the same MB/CPU combo get over 2000 single and 5000 multi.
The core voltage comes up at 0.9v. I've boosted it to 1.4v in the bios and it doesn't make any difference at all. The cpu temp is running at about 35c max.
The system is stable, I can watch movies, leave it run for hours without any issue other than it being slow as hell now. Could I be missing something? A setting somewhere or maybe the cpu was damaged as well? I'd hate to spend the money on a new one until I know it's the problem and not something else.
