My AMD FX 8350 idels at 43c, Temp?

PCGaming247 · May 13, 2014

High I just built my PC and My Spec's are

CPU: AMD FX 8350
MoBo: MSI 990FXA GD 80 R2
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2
HDDs 2X: Hitachi 2TB Ultrastar 7K3000 Enterprise SATA 6.0GB/s
GPU: EVGA FTW GTX 750 ti
Case: IN WIN GRone White ATX Full Tower Computer Case with 5x fans
Multi Optical CD/DVD+ Drive, Non name brand
Back Up Hard Drive: HGST Touro Mobile 1TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive

I have a air cool system right now only with stock heat sink. My idel temp displayed in MSI Control Center is 43c for my CPU and for system it is 29c. When under heavy load CPU at 49c and system is at 33c. Am I running to hot or am I good?

Those temps are right in line for the stock cooler.

Idle temp is too high. Load temp is OK. Turn the cpu fan up to say 1000rpm

PCGaming247 · May 13, 2014

I thought is was about right, thanks for your help I will be water blocking this thing and adding 3 gtx 770s, I will post again to ask for what my temps should be then to make sure I get it right, again, thank you for your help.

The MOBo setings work in %, or temp for the Smart settings, so 1000 cant be set and the lowist temp in smart cpu cooling is 40c.

Just jack the cpu fan rpm up a bit

I now got water cooling i got the h110 and am over clocked to 4.51 i am now idel at 22c for my cpu vea CORE TEMP and im at about 40 when running prim95 however since i went with the water cooling my MSI Control Center temps are still the same?

i7Baby · Jul 13, 2014

MSI CC is reporting the cpu package temp. Core temp is reporting the cpu core temps. Both are OK.

Those temperatures are normal for stock cooler. However you could get lower temps, if you changed voltage. AMD has always put unnecessary high voltage on their CPus.

My FX-6300 with aftermarket cooler at stock clocks had 30°C in idle and 51°C in Prime95 (75W power draw). Stock V-core was fixed 1.275V.
Then I played around in bios. Simply setting V-core to Auto made my CPU 6 °C cooler in Prime95. Voltage is between 0.975V and 1.25V now, power draw max 55W. And did I mention, these lower temps were achieved while overclocking CPU to 4,1 GHz (Turbo Core off)? That's bit off topic though,

So the same could apply to your CPU.

Thank you both i have my voltage at 1.32 and have messed with it at lower setings however it would not stay stable over clocked with out the high voltage windows would dump with the lower voltage? Dont know why but it did. so i keep it at 1.32 and runs smooth. If these temps are normal for where i am at with my overclocking then im woundering if pushing it to the 4.8 that i want would put my temps in the danger zone??

These guys get 4.8 - http://rog.asus.com/216552013/crosshair-motherboards/guide-overclocking-fx-8350-to-4-8ghz-on-crosshair-v-formula-z/2/ - but at 1.464V!!

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 13, 2014

Here's mine.

5.2 ghz\1.452 volts

Phanteks PH-TC14PE Air cooler.

PCGaming247 · Jul 15, 2014

thank you i7Baby im gonna try to push it to that 4.8 right now will post my findings.

PCGaming247 · Jul 15, 2014

Ok it took some tweeking but i got it to 4.829.

This is what I had to do,

1)I left turbocore on
2)Disabled cool and quite
3)Disabled C1E
4)DRam Voltage: 1.656
5)NB Voltage: 1.35
6)CPU-NB Voltage 1.35
7)CPU Voltage: 1.5
8)CPU Ratio: 23
9:CPU Frequency: 210

for some reason every thing works good, COD runs great however; prime95 will freeze the computer when i launch it?? What would be the cause?

bmacsys · Jul 15, 2014

That is a serious overclock. I bet no way you can run Prime 95 at that clockspeed.

bmacsys · Jul 15, 2014

PCGaming247 :

Its pretty simple. Your overclock isn't stable. If you can't run Prime95 for two hours you aren't stable. At about 30 minutes Prime95 really starts to stress your processor in a big way. Yours won't even launch and that is a bad sign. You didn't even get to a stage where a worker quits.

check this out here is some basic stuff about overclocking an Fx 8350 http://youtu.be/MckeAmnDeTk

PCGaming247 · Jul 16, 2014

that was one of the first videos, his way didnt work with my MoBo i wish i spent the extra cash and got the ASUS CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z, it seems all the how-to stuff is coming from an ASUS bio and the MSI bios dont have things like"CPU LLC" or CPU Current Capability.

I played with the over clocking all day yesterday and found my Prime95 not working it would get stuck on test 1, it wouldnt freeze just wouldnt go to the next test, so I am now using IntelBurnTest and every thing is good i will post my results when i get it stable at the 4.8-5.0 im going for , thank you all.

PCGaming247 · Jul 16, 2014

For some reason even faloowing the recomended steps I cant get it to be stable past 4.5 but i got it stable at 4.5 here is an image
