Hi there,
I am not sure what to do going forward with this problem. I recently built a new rig that is using the FX-8350 processor. I before even installing it, I got an aftermarket cooler, the 212 EVO. I started checking my temps last night and at idle I am getting 40c and playing BF4 it was hitting 67c. I know these temps are not normal and are not safe. What could be wrong?!
I mounted the heatsink correctly with the CM thermal compound. I have been reading that I could bring down the CPU voltage a little to cool it down. Would that make much of a temp drop?
Also, when running Prime95 for ~5minutes, my system freezes and becomes completely unresponsive!
Please help out here. This rig is my baby and I don't want to hurt any of the new components.
Thanks!
