Hey guys, happy to find this community.
I just put together a new pc with a vishera fx-8350 x8 with an evga superclock cooler, an evga gtx 580 3gb, 8 gigs of ddr3 and a Thermaltake SMART Series 750W ATX, all tied together on a cheap and crappy Biostar a960a3+ motherboard.
I am not getting near the performance I expected to see out of this build, and I am suspecting that my mobo may be the problem but I really don't know enough about motherboards to say one way or another. I can't overclock my Vishera at all really on this board, but I have heard that an FX-8350 should be able to get close to 5ghz without too much trouble with adequate cooling;
To even get from 4 to 4.5 I need to feed this thing 1.5V on the core.
I'm not really concerned about the overclocking, but in general it just doesn't seem to be giving me much oomph over my Phenom II 965 BE x4 @ 3.5 ghz.
Could my motherboard really pose that much of a problem, or do you all think it could be something else?
