My pc is 6 months old. Decided to overclock the cpu. Before overclocking I wanted to see how well would it fare against prime95 at stock clock speeds. I think something must be wrong with the build because temperatures were too high.
Relevant Specs:
CPU : Amd FX-8320 (3,7 GHz by default)
MOBO : MSI 970A-G46 (Bios version v2.2, February 4th 2013)
COOLER : Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (Single Fan)
CASE : Corsair 300R with stock fans (1 front intake, 1 behind exhaust)
Before starting the test I went ahead and disabled some of the eco friendly and smart features from the Bios in order to prevent the cpu from down clocking itself and also lowering the voltage. But everything else is at default.
After 13 mins of Blend tests on prime95 these were the results I observed. I didn't wanted to go further because of the values TMPIN1 reached. So what can cause this problem? And what exactly is TMPIN1? Is it the socket itself or the north bridge or something else? Any help would be appreciated.
