AMD FX 4100 CPU Throttle Issue

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

My Rig
--------
AMD FX-4100
4GB DDR3 RAM
ATi Radeon HD 4830
MSI 760GM-P21 Motherboard
-------------------------------------

I've tried disabling AMD Cool'n'Quiet, Turbocore, C1E, C State, AMDMsrTweaker, AMD Overdrive. But none of them worked. My CPU still throttles down to 1400 MHz while running games like NFS Most Wanted 2012, NFS Rivals, etc. Can somebody please tell me a solution to this problem?

What temperatures? I suspect it's overheating.

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

It exceeds over 95 Degrees and then the reading reaches 206 degrees in CPUID Hardware Monitor.

95c??? if just normal 95 degrees Fahrenheit that's perfectly fine, but 206 degrees is not perfectly fine.....that's like borderline system meltdown/shutdown haha. If it really got that upwards in temps it would explain why it would throttle down as much as it could....

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

I've adjusted my CPU Frequency to 3300 MHz Max and it is staying under 50 degrees on full load and 25 degrees in Idle state. Now, no FPS drop is bugging up. I guess I've solved this myself. But incase if this problem emerges in the future, what would I do?

Yup. 206F is too hot, 206C is meltdown.

Make sure your cooler is correctly seated and that the fans are all spinning.

Meltdown, LoLwaaa. Your heatsink must be loose, my 6300 once reached 80c and shut itself down

Fidgetmaster · Jun 16, 2014

50-55c max man running any higher is really pushing it....you are having some major cooling issues sounds like....check case out....clean/good airflow /enough fans...might need some fresh thermal grease/paste on the heatsink....

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

I've cleaned everything inside and outside my rig. Fans, Mobo, Rams, Processor (But never touched the pins), etc.

Fidgetmaster · Jun 16, 2014

Yeah I bet you need some new/fresh thermal paste then

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

I did applied the new thermal paste. I don't know If I've wasted my money on this processor.

Fidgetmaster · Jun 16, 2014

you sure you got the heastink back on there right? its not loose etc?

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

Yes the heatsink is there obviously and it doesn't fits if it is loose. It has two locks. I am talking about Coolermaster Stock Cooler which comes with AMD fx 4100.

Fidgetmaster · Jun 16, 2014

okay...hmmm weird man....what core voltage you running at? stock 1.3/1.32?? you can try undervolting some that will lower some temps...

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

I did lowered voltage and it seems temperature of CPU has fallen. But does it affect the gaming performance?

Fidgetmaster · Jun 16, 2014

no none at all but if you lower it too much it could be unstable....not all of those CPU's are equal some of the FX 4100s and 4300s you can really undervolt the piss out of and still even Overclock while others get unstable

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

Can you recommend me any lower and stable voltage values for CPU VID and NB VID?

Fidgetmaster · Jun 16, 2014

core... 1.25v is the lowest I have went on a fx 4300....

Guest · Jun 16, 2014

All I think working is that lowering the CPU frequency in Catalyst Control Center.
