Hello,
I just build a computer for a friend. when i started it and went to Bios,I noticed that CPU temps are 65 Celsius degree constant and the fan is loud. I didn't install anything yet not even a Windows.
I Changed the thermal paste and the result are the same. I'm using a stock coller.
is it normal to have these temps?

the build
AMD FX-8320
8 GB Ram
MSI 970A-G43 MotherBoard
ASUS Radeon R9 270

I did this:

I had the same problem with my FX8320. Couldnt afford an aftermarket heat sink at the time. I opened the side panel and used a stand up or floor fan to cool the inside. Crank it on high and point it at the mother board. Kind of annoying but it did the trick. It also made me really save for an after market cooler.

Also:
instead of disabling cores in windows which doesn't really work.
Go into your bios
find the option that lets you change your " CPU multiplier"
it may be on auto so you have to choose a value to enter. Start at 16.0. Save and reset. Look at your cpu speed. Repeat process until you hit about 2.5ghz. You will also want yo have your CPU voltage on auto while you do this. It will retardant your chip but you wont...

Frankly, the stock cooler is crap, and you should replace it. 65C is pretty normal with that cooler. At the bare minimum look at the Cooler Master Hyper 212. Other than that, not much can be done.

EDIT: Oh, and tell him NEVER to over clock. That motherboard is VERY dangerous, known to explode, burn up and damage processors when overclcoked on.

No It's not really ''normal'', and the fan WILL be loud.
Max safe temp. for the fx 8320 is around 60 degrees, your best bet you be to go out and get a Cooler Master 212 evo, is about 25$-35$, It won't make alot of noise and it will cool the CPU pretty well.
Fx 8320 is a pain in the ass with the stock cooler.

EDIT: Hello Man is right MSI 970A-G43 is not a safe one to overclock on.

The processor throttles at 70C, so thats actually the "safe" max temp, although one could say that any temp at all is "bad" for the processor.

I love my 8350, but before I installed it I bought a nice aftermarket cooler from zalman for like 40 bucks. I would highly recommend doing this. With a high end cpu, you need a nice heatsink and fan. its just how it goes.

I use a cooler that cost me $320. Thats more than the processor, but here is how I figured it. Basically, if you're $200 processor dies, you have to buy another. Thats another $200, basically giving you a $400 budget for coolers, as that is what you would end up spending in total on processors if the first died.

hmmm
thanks guys for replaying. but I didn't get a convenient answer to my situation.
I can't buy another cooler right now.
Is there are any way to disable atleast 2 cores?

I think so. Check the BIOS. Should be under power management, maybe under advanced. Not really sure.

ok i figured it out by using " MSconfig " in windows 7. I disabled 2 cores and the temp decresed by 2-5 degrees.
The odd thing is every program gives me different result.
MotherBoard: 65-67 C
HWMonitor : between 48 - 55 C
OverDrive thermal margain : 32 - 40 C

I lowerd the Fans to 60% via MotherBorad setting, now it's much quieter, but I'm afraid of overheat.
I want to stress the system for 1 hour to make sure everything is okay.
what program do you guys recommend ?

You need a better heatsink dude. Your fans are loud cause your junk is HOT!

The thermal margin is not the temp of the processor. It the degrees C until it reaches the max safe temp and start throttling. if it has 30C to go, then the processor is just fine in terms of temp. You can re-enable those 2 cores.

Good luck.
