Use a better application for temperature monitoring. I'm not even sure if I'm looking at tjunction or tcase in that graph.

Also you still need to check your clock rates for throttling. Just because it's not overheating does not mean it's not throttling.

Bumping up the voltage should not improve performance. The only thing I can think of is somehow vishera either has a built in ECC for the cache which causes performance drops if the voltage is too low to return correct results or it has some kind of clock rate throttling based on insufficient voltage. Both are unlikely though.

Do you recommend any program?

Besides, I performed some stress tests on my CPU with prime95. Same stuff happening again...
Yes, bumping the voltage does wonders for clarity of performance on AMD chips. Iunno why.

The 8350's stock clocks are too high for it's own good, and people find that bumping the voltage helps, which is one of the many reasons I recommend the 8320 over the 8350 to absolutely everyone who wants an 8350.

That quality control must be awful. 99% this isn't really happening. Raising the voltage on an already hot processor will not help either.

* (Raising the voltage on a hot processor) won´t help on anything but making it explode. Tongue
After some tweaking around with voltages and the amount of cores used I same problem remains: jumping temperatures which cause distortions in the cpu frequency.

I might consult my dealer on this fact but I wonder if they'll do anything about it...
CPU Multiplier values keep changing to specifically 7, 17 and 20.
1. Check to make sure you applied thermal paste
2. If you do, indeed, have thermal paste on your CPU, then tinker with the speed of your fan. Make it as high as it goes. Otherwise, apply thermal paste. Properly, a lot of people say to put a grain of rice in the center then sit your cooler on it.
3. If your temperatures remain higher than my friends on a saturday, get a new cooler.
CONTINUE FROM HERE ONLY IF YOUR TEMPS ARE NO LONGER SO DAMN HIGH
4. Change windows power plan to High-Performance
5. In Catalyst Control Center/Vision Engine Control Center, under "power", go to CPU Power, then bring the lowest part of the slider all of the way up to the highest part.
A mod can close this thread now; I found and fixed the issue.
The thermal paste was horribly applied, so I did it over and everything works as it should now.

High temps are gone and no more lag spikes.

I'm still wondering which one it is. A simple clock rate test could rule out the latter. Do you know if users report it with both stock and OCed FX cpus?
