    overpowered cpu
    « on: October 11, 2018, 07:59:27 AM »
    Hello, I just got a second hand pc on ebay that i was told is stock. Upon start up I get a message that reads "cpu is overpowered... system will run under clocked to maintain stability." The pc runs but i have no idea if its "fully" running.
    What would i need to do to get it performing properly if it isn't? How would or could i upgrade from here?

    It's a cyberpower pc gua 520
    AMD Fx 4350 quadcore
    Nvidia GeForce GT 730
    8gb RAM
    PSU Venus VM500WT
    1 Tb Hdd
