Well installed the 4350 with no problems although the core voltage and multiplier keep changing in cpu-z. From what I understand this is a power saving feature due to cool 'n quiet or C1E. No big deal, but terribly annoying. My 965 never did this so I'm wondering why the FX chip is just now starting to do it.
Once the processor was installed I plugged in the ram, everything booted up and is working fine. Both bios and windows recognize 16GB dual channel, I'm going to do some stress testing later.
However, the most peculair thing is the weird behavior I'm seeing in games. For instance Final Fantasy XIII-2 used to micro-stutter or hitch and now it runs smooth, but when the game loads the camera won't stop spinning around the character. Syndicate also runs smooth, but now the game command tooltips is now set for an xbox controller. It still recognizes keyboard and mouse, but now instead of saying "Press F to activate" it now says "Press X to activate". Far Cry 4 still hitches or whatever despite having a faster processor and more ram.
Is this weird behavior due to installing the games under one processor and now running under a different one? Due I need to uninstall/reinstall them?
