http://support.micro....com/kb/2646060

should i install these updates because i have an FX chip?
has anyone else patched these updates?

i stumbled upon them looking for amd fx optimization

They're probably already installed if you have windows update on.

[Napoleon_Blownapart]

when i look at installed updates or for hidden updates i do not see those specific updates KB2645594 or KB2646060 in my list.

Unless i'm looking at the wrong amd fx8350 info those updates don't have anything to do with you.

[Napoleon_Blownapart]

were these updates for bulldozer and before piledriver?

[Sug]

I'm seeing a lot of 2011 dates in those updates. Isn't the 8350 a vishera core?

[Napoleon_Blownapart]

yes it is.

[Sug]

a google of the update numbers and vishera brings up a bunch of forum posts where people are saying the update either does nothing or give some very minor improvement. Haven't seen anything yet about any type of problem caused by the updates.

I say go for it.

I have thrown every possible patch regarding FX chips....on a 8350........found affinity controllers such as project lasso, or priffinity2 and coreparking program helps make noticeable improvements stack them up and play on playa!

Have you Ocd? that chip will OC tremendously before even touching voltage. If you can cool it..........

Those updates are for the previous generation bulldozer chips. Piledriver fixed the issue.

I have also the FX8350 and run without these Updates - though you should update your Motherboard-Bios the latest Version available.

[Napoleon_Blownapart]

no noticeable change after installing.

[ninjitsu]

Like I said, the patches were for the previous generation of processors. Piledriver fixed the issue.
