Hi guys

So i have been getting frequent cpu usage drops while gaming and it'S starting to piss me off.

I recently upgraded from fx-6100 to fx-8350 with the 6100 i never had problem with this but i had problems with the 8350 from the start.

I never did overclocking by myself. But when instaling my brother did light overclocking if i remember correctly.

I'll try to write everything that he did and that i remember him doing it.

he unlockeed somethign with cores

Turned on something with clocks i think.

But never touched the cpu voltages so don't know if some of the bios settings are causing this or that the cpu is going bad.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you kept an eye on the temps while gaming?
Just to make sure you're not thermal throttling.

Well i have around 75 with noctua cooler and arctic mx-2 and i had these same temps as on my 6100 with some shit cooler and 5 year old paste so

I'd try resetting my BIOS, to clear any settings he may have made - just to make sure that's not what is causing it.
