High Temps x4 750k

FatCandy · Apr 24, 2014

I have an x4 750k and my idle temp was ~50C while gaming ~68C and i thought that it was high so i bought a new thermal paste(arctic silver 5) to replace the old one , i clean both cpu and cpu cooler very good and then i applied just a little bit (i had seen tones of videos in youtube) but unfortunately the temps went up ! Now at idle ~57C and while game maximum was 82C , i have already changed 3 times the thermal paste because the results were shocking and that didnt fix it . I really need help !

Is your fan spinning up? How are you applying the paste, exactly?

ewok93 :

I have set my cpu fan to 99% because if i had not it would reach 90C! Also i put my thermal paste in the middle of the cpu a small dot and then i saw the temps were too high and i removed and clean both cpu and cpu cooler again, after that i applied my thermal paste again a small dot and i covered all the surface of the cpu with the help of a credit card .( sorry for my bad english btw)

That's alright. That is the correct way to do it... What is the ventilation like in your case? Any chance you can send me a picture of the inside?

The ventilation is good in my opinion i got 120mm fan in front , 120mm fan rear and 2x120 fans
at the left side panel.! The one is blowing air into the case and the other out of the case !! Sorry but i cant upload photos right now , what i did wrong i think is that i cleaned the cpu and the cooler with a deodorant ( https://www.google.gr/search?q=str8+unlimited&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=QXFZU_7HHIGu0QX5koCIDQ&ved=0CCwQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=993#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=rGxBQXMlRhXZHM%253A%3BQeDrs6DHEcQaUM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.sigmalive.com%252Ffiles%252Fimagecache%252Ffull_image%252Ffiles%252Fnode_images%252F8%252F4%252F5%252F273845%252FSTR8_UNLIMITED_DEO_SPRAY_0.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.sigmalive.com%252Flifestyle%252Fbeauty%252F273845%3B608%3B480) xD but both were very clean of course !! Do you think that's the problem ?? Also thanks for your help

What program is reading those temperatures?

ewok93 · Apr 24, 2014

WHY would you use deodorant on a computer?

FatCandy · Apr 25, 2014

ewok93 :

Because i didnt have alcohol ..? Do you think that's the problem or you are just guessing?

I use hwmonitor i think its trustworthy!!

damric · Apr 25, 2014

lol it's not. Use your motherboard's software to read socket temperature, or AMD Overdrive to read thermal margin. those are the only two temperatures that are correct and the only places you can find the correct readings.

Amd overdrive shows me that 68C is the cpu margin!

damric :

I have an msi a88xm-e35 , what program shall i use ?

damric · Apr 25, 2014

FatCandy :

The higher the number, the better. That means you are very far away from thermal margin. Watch as your CPU is under load, the thermal margin will get smaller.

See other 3rd party programs like HWMonitor wrongly interpret thermal margin as actual temperature. Probably 100 people post about this every day.

Thank you!! I'm relieved now

but today my temps are low .. Idle 49C and after load maximum is 68C wtf is wrong?? (temps from hwmonitor) xD

ewok93 · Apr 25, 2014

Can you send a screenshot of HWMonitor?

FatCandy · Apr 25, 2014

ewok93 :

These photos are 5 minutes after i had finished playing league of legends (the temps had calmed down a bit)
Here is they are : 1)http://gyazo.com/885c8e4f43d3efb6911215a37d12080f

Yeah, those don't look too bad.

FatCandy · Apr 25, 2014

ewok93 :

But do they still look bad xD ? I shouldnt have waste money on buying new thermal paste , the cost of this product in Greece is 11$

I will probably start collecting money for 212 evo ..!

ewok93 · Apr 25, 2014

No, they're fine. I wouldn't worry until they hit 70c or so.

FatCandy · Apr 25, 2014

Sometimes it hits 70C

i will buy the evo

ewok93 · Apr 25, 2014

That's not a bad idea. It's not only quieter, but it will increase the lifetime of your CPU too.
