FX 8320 getting hot

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

So i just upgraded from a fx6300 to a fx8320 and for some reason even at stock setting with the 8320 my idle is lower than 20c but underload it jumps to 60c when using cinebench or prime95 or intel burn this is stock. now i have a h60i cooler push pull set up and i had my fx6300 overclocked to 4.5 and it ran at 52c max load, i have redone the TP like 5times now AS5 i did the pea, the x, and the spread. all with the same results. Help me please

60C is not bad at all for a graphics card. This seems normal to me. If your card was 80-120C, then I would say bring out the fire extinguishers.

He's talking about a CPU.

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

60c for stock setting with a h60i yah thats bad my gpu is fine it runs at around 60c also

Eduello :

Man...its way too early in the morning for this.

zachparr2442 :

A CPU, not a GPU

@biohazrdfear: I know right

Eduello · Mar 19, 2014

zachparr2442 :

Well since your cooler is probably working and you redid the TP so many times I have no other advice than to RMA the CPU

On a side note: Check the BIOS for accidental overclocks. The previous OC may not have been reset even though you changed the CPU.

i reset everything to default and and made sure everything was stock before i booted this processor and its runs at 3.5 like it should

What is your voltage in the BIOS. Is turbo on? You can look at an overclocking guide and learn how to modify your voltage. By doing so you will lower voltage. You'll also learn a lot in the process.

Also, you can turn off AMD's version of hyper threading. Virtual core control or something like that. I'm an Intel fanboy, so I'm not 100%

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

yah ive read that also i used to overclock my FX6300 4.5, but like i said this fx8320 is at stock settings and with a h60i im gettin high temps and i think the stck voltage is 1.34-1.36

biohazrdfear :

im not sure what this is and i shouldnt have to do it with stock setting on this CPU and i never did it with my fx6300 either, and the overclocking guide with these boards and processor mentions nothing of the sorts

Eduello · Mar 19, 2014

My conclusion: RMA the CPU.

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

sorry but that new to me what is RMA

Eduello · Mar 19, 2014

zachparr2442 :

Return merchandise authorization a.k.a. sending the product back to the retailer and asking for a replacement.

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

anyone else have any suggestions

DonQuixoteMC · Mar 19, 2014

Wait, why are you worried about 60C temps during a stress test on one of the hottest running CPUs?

1) You'll never hit those temps under normal use.
2) 60C is not anywhere near the CPU's TMAX.

Eduello · Mar 19, 2014

DonQuixoteMC :

The stock cooler would probably get those temps but we're talking about a water cooled chip here.
My fx-8350 maxes out @ 40C with a Noctua nh-d14 so a Corsair H-series cooler shouldn't let the temps much higher than that.

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

Eduello :

see that the problem i overclocked my buddys 8320 same cooler and mobo and i have his at 4.4ghz at 55c max

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

im having them send me a new one

Eduello · Mar 19, 2014

zachparr2442 :

That's probably the best thing to do. I hope it fixes your problem

DonQuixoteMC · Mar 19, 2014

Good point. Even though the Noctua is a better cooler, I don't think it's -20C better

You really only get to 40C during stress testing with an overclocked 8320!? That's incredible. You have one superstar of a chip.

Eduello · Mar 19, 2014

DonQuixoteMC :

Yeah I've kept folding@home running for hours and the average temps are always around 40 C. I've thought about overclocking but currently there's no need for it.

DonQuixoteMC · Mar 19, 2014

Gotcha. Still, very cool.

Literally!

zachparr2442 · Mar 19, 2014

yah im going to order some Noctua NF-F12s also it kinda pisses me off casue i should be able to get 4.2-4.5 pretty easy with this cooler
