Hey guys,

so yesterday I got my new case and motherboard and hooked everything up. I reinstalled windows and everything seemed fine until I started noticing that my CPU is underperforming... I mean underperforming to the level of lagging out on file downloads. As I was downloading or installing drivers the pc would experience minor freezes and slow response.

I used the CPU on my old motherboard and it worked without problems from the start so I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this issue.

I have searched for answers through the web but as some suggest temperatures, HWMonitor shows the mobo on abour 38 C and the CPU on about 15 ( almost no load atm ).

The thing that I noticed was the usage could go from 0 to 90+% and all the cores would be affected by this.

All drivers are 12 hours old aswell.

Components:

CPU AMD FX 8350
Mobo MSI 970 gaming
PSU Corsair 1000W
RAM 16Gb Corsair Vengeance
GPU Radeon R9 200 Series


Anyone with ideas or suggestions? Thank you in advance!
