Just got done with my FX-8350 CPU upgrade from a Phenom II 1090T.

Go figure, my SSD is max score now, when it was 7.4 before: CPU/RAM both up from 7.5.
Got
with beeps (wasn't RAM issue, as normally expected with these beeps) and no video at all, when I was done and had to reset bios (via motherboard) and redo all the settings, MSI's tech support was good.
Oh yeah, and I am not overclocking at all.
I guess I have to assume now, that the old CPU was having trouble keeping up with my video card and SSD.
Should I call mularkey on the Unigine Heaven Benchmark as biased, got the same score as with old CPU.
