Hi peeps,
am having an issue where I am hoping to hear if others have similar experiences so I have an idea on which direction to go.
Basically, see rig in sig, decided to shift the 8350 and purchased the 8370e for two reasons.
1/ Wanted to play with a new chip
2/ Was planning to run it as it was manufactured i.e. factory defaults, turbo core enabled etc
Sooooooo,
the issue is this, the CPU is very stable under all Pstates (even heavily under voltaged) have tested with Prime95 (blend) all cores etc.
But when I leave it at default settings, default == reset bios, manually set mem clocks/timings, very few tweaks etc while in Windows just doing regular things the PC will after anything from several minutes to a few hours just bluescreen on me.
Simply disabling AMD Turbo Core in the BIOS and the system is perfecly stable.
As explained above (reason 2) I cannot seem to run my PC in n00b mode i.e. non tweaked, has anybody else experienced these sort of issues with AMD Turbo Core ??
Yes, I know, that I can setup my own pstates and run the CPU just as I was running my 8350, but thats not really what I was planning to do.
Simply, plug n play (pray ?)), run the CPU as was intended by the manufacturer etc.
Another anomoly, probably contributed via AMD Overdrive (really people should just avoid using this app to change any sort of settings), caused my CPU to randomly reboot/boot with VID over 1.56v !
PC would then hard shut down, power on the hard shut down again.
Power recycling sometimes help the PC recover, sometimes not.
Hard to hard reset the BIOS!
This happened after I used AMD Overdrive to enable/disable AMD Turbo Core, play with some of the multiplier settings etc.
So any peeps have any input that I can use ?
Cheers
