Hi, I was wondering how to disable the feature permanantly, no matther how many times I disabled it on AMD overdrive, It still doesn't save my settings after restarting my computer. I couldn't find it on bios.

I am waiting for my liqiud cooler that is in warranity now so I am using my stock cooler, Whenever I forgot the disabling the turbo core feature, temps can reach 65 to 70c, and the voltage is around 1.41~1.42 is that dangerous ? Did I shorten my cpu's life, I bought it 3 monts ago.

Also after installing the stock cooler, why my Northbridge temps are hotter than before ?

Oh and when do you see those temps? In normal gaming or just when running a cpu stress test?
Remounting the heatsink using good quality thermal paste is never a bad idea. Arctic Silver 5 or other good thermal paste.
And yes it should be ok on temps with the stock heatsink when not OC'd to any great degree.
I am guessing some combination of thermal paste, high ambient temps, (how hot it is in the room), and poor case airflow are contributing to this.

Stock fan settings tend to be on the low side, which was why I suggested ramping up the profile a wee bit.
If the OP is seeing temps close to thermal shutdown, his cpu fan should be at or close to 100%.
Just have it scale up from 30% ish at 50C to 90% at 58C to 100% at 60C.
Low...

Set the bios to the power saving or whatever they call the lowest performance option.
Ramp up the cpu fan speed profile. Yes the stock fan is craptastic.
The voltage is within normal ranges.
NB temps are higher because cpu temps are higher.
Ramp up case fan speeds for now.
Don't use AMD overdrive for setting clockrates, since it is software that loads after windows boots. Use the bios.

Since you seem to actually pay attention to temps, I doubt you did any serious damage to it. But as you already know, those cpu temps are too high.

Thank you for your reply and advices, Power saving feautre must have enabled because when my pc is idle I can see the voltage and clock rates are downclocked, am I correct ? If so, what should I check for in bios in order to disable turbocore ?

And one last thing, My pc got froze yesterday It was while I'm gaming but the game is old and not demanding so much, It was the first freeze since I have built my pc so Is it because of the cpu? I have never had any problem before changing the cooler

Clean and remount your heatsink. Stock fans are just fine for normal CPU settings. I see these posts all the time about how bad the stock fans are, and its complete and utter nonsense. The stock fan is supplied by the company who makes and warranties the processor, and if you mount it correctly, have decent case ventilation, it will do a perfectly fine job of cooling the processor it was intended for at stock settings, and mild overclocks.

Low 50s under normal use is where your AMD cpu will be happy.

* When you remounted the stock cooler, did you properly clean off the cpu before applying new thermal paste? If you just put the stock one on the old paste, that is quite likely a problem.
