AMD FX 8350 4.0Ghz - idle temp: 30ºC - Gaming: 80ºC

nhapz · Jun 26, 2013

It speaks for itself guys, is it normal?

Fresh install, just bought it yesterday, stock cooler at 5000 RPM stays at 70ºC while Gaming and idle 55ºC, today i bought a xigmatek apache and at 2500 RPM, on idle stays at 30ºC but at gaming goes to 80ºC is it normal?

No, your temps are way off...if you don't have HWMonitor...download it and check the temps in HWMonitor. Come back and let me know if your Load temps break 55C on HW Monitor.

see? Just played 5 mins of DayZ

I am at work, the firewall doesn't like the site that image is hosted on for some reason...are you using HWMonitor?

nhapz · Jun 26, 2013

Yes

AMD FX-8350
Temperatures
Value: 26ºC
Min: 26ºC
Max: 83ºC

at idle stays at 26/30, under load goes up to 70ºC something, with prime95 running it maxes on 82ºC

is there thermal paste under your new cooler? i heard those new chips ran hot, but wow.

nhapz · Jun 26, 2013

Yes there is lol It came with the cooler

daswilhelm · Jun 26, 2013

is there maybe to much paste?

8350rocks · Jun 26, 2013

nhapz :

Your thermal paste isn't on properly or something. With that cooler you shouldn't see temps rise past 55C tops. Anything over 62C is bad for your CPU.

Check your thermal paste, I would remove it all with alcohol and a rag of some sort from both the cooler and the CPU. Then I would reapply using the "dot" method, make sure you have a very thin, even layer and secure your heatsink tightly to the CPU for maximum effectiveness.

FYI: Anything over 62C is bad on FX series...that's the thermal limit for the architecture. So we need to get your temps down quickly.

8350rocks :

I just did all of that 8350rocks, took the cooler out, cleaned all with alcohol (cpu and cooler), used the dot method with some brand new thermal paste and its currently on 70/80ºC installing a game on steam! GG

not good.

nhapz :

Hmm...your software is HWMonitor? Try checking the temps in the BIOS. See if there is a discrepancy there. Also, please post your system specs so I can see your hardware. List the case and how many fans you're using as well.

EDIT: Your cooler is operating properly right? You connected the fan power plug to it so the fan is running correctly? (I know it's a simple question, but I have to ask).

8350rocks, im using HWMonitor, already used core temp and asus software from the board itself, i'll check it on bios and post it here.

I got a 500GB SataII HD
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Asus M5A78L-M USB3
Amd FX 8350 4.0Ghz
Geforce Gt 440 1GB DDR3

got 3 more fans on the case, with all air intake and exhaust done properly

8350rocks · Jun 26, 2013

Idle around 30C is pretty normal, it's the temp spikes I am concerned about. Can you post system specs and ambient temps in your room?

Sorry...firewall here is blocking the image.

Can you give me a rundown of your components?

nhapz · Jun 26, 2013

8350rocks :

As i said before,

Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M USB3
Bios version: 1503
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
Ram: 2x Corsair XMS CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 4 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM
Graphics Card: Geforce GT 440 1GB DDR3
HD: ST3500418AS ATA Device (500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)

Case: Sharkoon T9 Value Edition (Red)

8350rocks · Jun 26, 2013

Sorry, I missed the specs earlier...

Hmm...I don't see anything that would be contributing directly to issues...though, let me ask you this:

The GPU you have, are the heatsinks on it pointed toward or away from your CPU? (Is it exhausting hot air toward the CPU?)

nhapz · Jun 26, 2013

8350rocks :

Away, it blows down the case, cpu is on top of the gpu :S I dont see anything too lol i just see this damn temps!

nhapz · Jun 26, 2013

Again, just played 5 mins of Arma 2 and got up to 80ºC!!!!!!!

daswilhelm · Jun 27, 2013

if your thermal paste is applied correctly, the only other reason i could think of, is your motherboard temp sensors are faulty. no real other reason you should be having this problem.

nhapz · Jun 27, 2013

daswilhelm :

I can't think of anything else too, but when it stays at 80ºC i put my hand just bellow the cooler and its blowing so much hot air, and i wonder, are the temps really accurate?

NappySlapper · Jun 27, 2013

Have you changed any voltage settings?
Additionally, maybe you are seating the cpu cooler wrong. I have an overclocked 8350 and I have never gone above 60 degrees on socket or 50degrees on core, and that is in prime95 and ibt

pc 1 · Jun 27, 2013

your motherboard is a phase 4+1 with no vrm cooling, thats not good for an 8 core fx and i think it's the reason for the overheating

nhapz · Jun 27, 2013

NappySlapper :

well, i've already tried 2 differente coolers, and seated them 4 times, all rounding the same temps... with prime95 my cpu goes to 82ºC
