[iamerror]

Good day! I beleive this may be my first post here, or not im not sure.

Ohk i have an AMD FX-8350 processor, and just came across these hot fixes ..was just wondering, will they do anything for me? Give me some performance improvements ?

Hotfix for AMD FX, AMD Opteron 4200, AMD Opteron 6200, or AMD Bulldozer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2645594
Hotfix forDisable Core Parking: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646060

Any info will be superb

Many thanks

These fixes should be included in windows update so if you are installing all updates automatically then you probably have them already.
There is some performance gain but don't expect too much.

You can always try to install these standalone packages , in worst case system will replace files or give you info that you already have this update but I'm 95% sure that it's already in windows update
I have no AMD rig right now to check it.

Well, my windows didnt have it installed .. so i installed it ..

not that i notice anything different

I have however " unparked" the cores that seemed to have been parked ..and now when i play crysis 3 it utilizes all 8 cores instead of just 4 or so .. happy me.
