Hello guys.
I don't know if i should post in Memory section but ill give it a try.,
I know Chrome uses a lot of RAM, right.
Lately it lags a lot. For example when im typing in facebook the words appear after some miliseconds etc. I dont know if you understand what i mean.
I used to have 10-15 tabs open in Chrome and i wouldnt lag.
Now with only 3 tabs it lags.
I have a 2x4 Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz kit.

The temperatures seem pretty ok combined with a 30 Celsius room temperature
I also recently clean installed windows and it's not overloaded.
Any ideas?

The CPU temperature and power readings are very odd for an FX-8000 chip, even the newest ones should be idling above 17W and peaking at over 80W (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-fx-8370e-cpu,3929-2.html). Perhaps your power settings are set to "Battery Saver" or the like, with CPU dynamic clocks being pushed down? It would certainly cause Chrome to be less snappy, especially considering Chrome completely ignores standard Windows power management specifications (like the infamous 1ms timer "feature" that caused laptops to lose ~20% of their battery life)
