Hey guys,
I got some weird problems with my AMD FX-8120 (at least I think it's coming from it)! I have this for 3 weeks now (since I built the computer)
It freezes about 2-3 times within ten minutes, usually not more than 2-3 seconds. Everything goes veeery slow at those and the sound sounds like a reaper that is prepairing to attack (if you played mass effect you know what I mean).
I had it clocked to 4,5 GHz per core (reaching 46 c° after 2 hours of stresstest), but underclocked it down to the standard (3,1 GHz with 3,89 GHz turbo boost). Still nothing changed :S
At building in the cpu I managed to not have given it correctly into the socket and all the pins were bent due to the cooler. It took me 5 hours to put em into the correct position again, but it works now. Could this be the reason for the freezes/lags?
Could there also be another reason for the freezes? Any other hardware? Setup in my profile!
Thanks for help in advance!

Anyway, not sure if the CPU even causes that, run prime and see if it gives you errors? I think it could be your memory also, maybe timings too tight ;x
or, small chance, you have 1.65V memory but only got it running on 1.5V?
Edit: 1.5V is the standart for corsair vengance kits
Heh yer also got vengeance here. Also got an XMS kit in my old pc which my brother has now, and he also had the freezing issue with the fucked up sound and stuff.
I googled for that and found out that you had to set it to corsair's "predefined" timings instead of auto, because it might sometimes use different timings when having them on auto. So if your kit (should also display the timings on the memory stick) needs for example 9-9-9-15 you have to set it to that also. Until now this is working fine for him, could ofc. not be the cause and still have the same problems tonight xD
Apart of this I can't say that your CPU just isn't broken.. Can't know without trying the same one without fucked up pins :X
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+

Probably from the bulldozer, dont think ive heard anything good about the bulldozer series
AMD FX-series Eight core FX-8120/AM3+ 3.10GHz 16MB 125W
AMD FX-series Six core FX-6200/AM3+ 3.80GHz 14MB 125W
or this?:O

I am a AMD User sorry.
But I am gonna buy this laptop.
Just look at the inside http://www.multimediacenter.nl/webshop.php?groep=Laptops&artikel=39031
nice topic hijack also :p
The server by it self is already cracked by SONOFEVIL from CWG.
And I am running now 4 ts servers ;(
Seriously, I mean, you run 4 TS servers, I'm pretttttttty sure that you dont need unlimited, or more than 512 slots for these 4 servers, so you're good with 1 non-commercial 512 slot license which allows you to run 10 virtual ts3 servers..

You broke your shit. My advice is that you stay far away from hardware and especially overclocking.
maybe
But I got sometimes same things on my i5, maybe some viruses - I don't really care about av
