Hey guys,
I recently build a new system:
AsRock FM2A85X Extreme 4-m
AMD A8-6500 65W tdp
2x4GB Kingston single channel (wrong mounting)
Corsair CX430M
Case Chieftec HM-02
Scythe Big Shuriken 2 rev.B with Noctua NF-F12 PWM
Others fans for air in-take/out-take
It's the first time I build a PC and I have some doubts/fears about the temperatures of the system.
I updated the BIOS at the latest version and installed HWMonitor CPUID and AsRock Extreme Tuning Utility for monitoring the temps.
AsRock Utility show me CPU and MB temps and the readings match the BIOS ones.
These readings are quite reassuring: CPU stays at about 40°C in idle and under load reaches 60°C, enabling BIOS feature that lets the fans to run at full speed, lowering temp down to 55°C and so on.
CPUID show me 4 values under MB section (in idle):
-SYSTIN 37° C
-CPUTIN 40° C
-AUXTIN 63° C
-TMPIN3 40° C
The first two values match MB and CPU temps provided by BIOS/AsRock Utility,
AUXTIN and TMPIN3 are constant and don't change even under load (maybe dummy values?).
The strange is that under CPU section CPUID show me Package temperature, wich is nearly 60° C in idle. After seeing this I no longer stressed CPU, thinking it might reach temperatures much higher, knowing that AMD APU Chips are projected to work at "fresh" temps.
Could anyone help me to clarify this situation?
Are CPUID CPU-Package temps overstimating real temps, maybe because Richland APUs are not supported yet?
Or maybe I haven't correctly applied the thermal paste, leaving a layer too thick between the CPU die and the heatsink?
Furthermore some days ago I noticed that the chipset heatsink becomes very hot quickly after boot; under load I can't touch it for more than 1 sec, in idle is still quite hot.
If the heatsink became so hot I don't think that is a thermal paste issue.
I read around that NB heatsinks can reach very high temps, even higher than CPU/GPU, but I am a little worried about it.
Do you reccomend me to replace the NB heatsink with an aftermarket one?
Anyway I don't know if there is software for reading NB temps to confirm my sensation, any help would be appreciate.
Thanks in advance for the help!
