I recently finished my first build including an fx 8350 and an msi 970 gaming motherboard. I noticed some unusual things, wich I identified as problems. I wasn't sure if they have anything to do with eachother, so I thought I'd just put them all in 1 thread.
First off, I noticed when I launched cpu-z that my core voltage stays around 1V, even when under load.
I also noticed that my processor tops out at 52% utilisation during stress tests like prime95 or the built in cpu burner with MSI kombuster 3, even when under load. Strange thing is, I remember it working at 100% according to windows task manager yesterday...
I think the cause is that I accidently pressed the 'oc genie' button in my BIOS, wich would have caused it to underclock automaticly.
Thanks alot!
