Hi there guys.

 

I have a problem. I was building a new pc and some Thermal paste goes down to the CPU, the part that connects to the socket on the MOBO, and it goes to the socket on the mobo too :S.

I have go to a store of pc's and they have clean the cpu with a special product.

I came home build everything up, im running windows, but when i play games pufff, low fps, on every game, even with every settings on low.

Btw i have tested the GPU on a pc of my friend and it works great, everything on high/ultra settings.

Games tested:

World of Warcraft Warlords of Draenor

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare

Cs:GO

 

My Spec's:

 

GPU: Asus Strix GTX 970

CPU: AMD FX-8350

MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming

Power Supply: 700w

Keep your current setup. Save money. Wait for AMD's Zen and Intel's Skylake. Just RMA your board? 

 

Edit: Does everything still owkr?

Did you look at the socket before putting the CPU on it to make sure no thermal paste got rubbed into one of the pin slots? On AMD the CPU has the pins and it could have pushed some in? Have you tried to uninstall/reinstall the latest drivers for your hardware? I've seen weirder things than driver issues with the same hardware after being torn apart. If none of that works a clean windows install would could be a good thing to try next.

Try uninstalling your drivers then reinstalling even if they are the latest ones. Is your gpu in the original pci lane when you installed the driver?
