I just replaced an old motherboard and processor with an AMD FX 8320 processor on a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P board.
My PSU is a corsair 650W.
When I installed it first in the case the cors temp was 22c idle and 28c under load with the AMD stock cooler, I didn't have Gigabyt drivers installed at the time , because I was waiting for a new DV driver to come in the post. I didn't bother installing the drivers from the Gigabyte website as evrything was working without them.
A few days ago the DVD drive arrived I put that in and installed the drivers for the mobo that were on the disc that came with board.
I didn't check the temps straight away as everything was running well, but a day or so later I heard the case tick, like it was possibly expanding or contracting with a temperture change. I checked clre temp and now I was at 79c!!!
I shut down the system and reseated the stock cooler with Arctic 5 thermal paste, no change, straight up to 79c withind about 5 minutes, I changed the cooler to an Arctic 7 pro cooler I had before, still the same.
Have the motherboard drivers changed my fan speed settings, how do I change them back?
What else do I need to check? It was running cool previously and I can't think of any other changes.
I have Gigabyte case with 2 x 120mm fans, an old Nvidia 9600gt card, I'm running win 7 pro and I have 16GB ram.
Cheers for your advice...
