CPU Hitting 100° Celsius underload. [AMD Athlon x750k]

xburnsy · Jan 3, 2014

Hello,
My CPU is hitting 100° Celsius when under load eg battlefield 4 and doing everyday taskes. i have no idea why it is hitting this temperature, could it be the stock heat sink is not that good. i tried to look it up but could not find many answers on how to fix it.

My PC Specs are

AMD Athlon x750k
Gigabite R9 270x OC edition
msi fm2-a75ma-p33
WD Caviar Green 2TB
Corsair CX500M

i have taken screen shots of CPUID

When underload

When Not

Any/All help would be needed thanks.

Aftermarket CPU cooler? Maybe your thermal paste is incredibly thin or gone, and need to reapply some more.

i am looking to invest into an after market cooler. i have £30 max to spend on a cooler and paste. recommendations would be good. but also any quick fixes i can do for now.

hyper 212 evo is a good cooler and its quiet. also make sure your current cooler is sitting on your cpu correctly.

i will check the heat sink soon, i cannot do it myself because of a broken wrist. i will post the results when i have checked it

The 212 EVO or the Xigmatek Gaia would be great in that price range. It's odd that you're getting lower socket temps (TMPIN1) than your core temps though...

Try a different monitoring program like HWinfo64, it could just be HWMonitor being buggy. It's worth a shot at least.

A tube of paste comes included. You could get some Arcitic AS5/MX-4 for better cooling if you choose though.

You can buy An corsair Hydro cooler it doesnt need to refill it the Corsair H60 is a good and cheap Liquid Cooler and it has the thermal paste ready you dont need to put it.

Run it in sensors only mode.

Is this the right part of the program?

Yes. It seems that you do indeed have a temperature issue. The 212 EVO is probably the best solution.

could it be that the cpu is faulty?

xburnsy :

Potentially but I doubt it.

looking at picking up an after market heat sink and the evo 212 cannot be ordered until 13th of January. any different coolers for around £25?

JOOK-D · Jan 4, 2014

Are you ordering from amazon? I personally wouldn't, they sent me the wrong product when I ordered the 212 EVO from there. It was some random off-brand cooler.

You could get it from ebuyer: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2 There are a few options.

I have this same CPU with the stock cooler for now. It seems like with some newer motherboards (like mine) when you install your CPU it overclocks it on its own. This happened to me when I first installed mine and I wondered where all of the insane temps were coming from. In my case, I had to go into my bios and set it back to its stock clock settings (3.4GHz) This brought my temps down considerably. If you want to see my specs they are in my profile under personal info. Hope this helps.
