The temperatures seem accurate there. Is that what you were using when getting temperatures?

No, I was using HWMonitor.

It seems like ASRock's utility is much more accurate. Would you mind stressing the CPU with that running in the background?

With Prime? I'll start now.

edit: Now the temp is showing 0C in the ASRock tool....

This doesn't make any sense. Does any overclocking cause the CPU to run slowly?

that north bridge speed looks very slow at 796mhz. that cpu voltage looks quite low for a 8 core as well

Also, when stressing the 8350, take a snapshot of the ASRock utility.

It looks the same from the other pic stressing it.

Is the original picture stress testing it?

Something is not correct.

It's intention is to help stabilize an overclock. But it won't do anything.

Sounds like the CPU is not functioning properly. Does the CPU function properly at stock frequencies?

You sure it's not your cards that aren't malfunctioning?

Try running MSI Kombustor or Heaven Benchmark to see the gpu gets 100% load. What driver do you have? I would try to reinstall a older version of the drivers by going into C:/Nvidia to find your old installations.

Kombustor gets the first core to 100% load.. others are pretty low. only 2 others are getting above 20% load

Every game is coded differently, some are optimized and some are not. Like gta iv i max 20fps on very loww settings including 800x600 reso. But in bfbc2 i max 50-60fps stable 40ish. And i have some settings on low and some on high and running 1080p reso. So every game is different. CS;S for me maxes 200fps and constant stable 70fps.
