Hello, I made a thread a little while ago (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1845991/questions-buy-parts-overclock-amd-6350.html ) and bought a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo and 2 case fans. These are my current specs:
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
AMD FX-6350 CPU
2 sticks of DDR3 4 GB Ram
Thermaltake TR2 TR-600 600w PSU
GTX 680
Apevia X-Dreamer4 series X-DMR4-NW-BK Case
Hyper 212 Evo heatsink and fan.
I followed the installation instructions carefully for installing the heatsink and applied the thermal paste using the pea method. Everything felt and looked good, the heatsink was firm and screwed in place good. But, when I started up my computer, all the fans came on and the LED's came on, but after the page it shows for the motherboard I got a message from American Megatrends listing all my parts, but at the bottom it says "CPU over temperature error press F1 to continue". It brought me to the BIOS and after hitting discard changes and exit it loaded up windows and everything seemed fine. Everything was going good, the computer wasn't very loud and it was fast. When I checked the temperatures in both AMD Overdrive and Core Temp the temperatures weren't high, but unusually low. They were going around 12 degrees to a maximum of mid to low 20's. I checked the temperatures in several programs, and they all said the same thing, and the cores seems stable and they aren't spiking to high usage or anything. Everything seems fine but I still get this message, and the temperatures seem very low. I was wondering if the error may be a glitch and the temperatures are just good, or if something is wrong, thanks! (And yes, I tried it with Cool n' Quiet off and on, same results with temps for both.)
