Hi,

My Spec :
AMD 8350FX (NO overclock)
Asrock 970Extreme 3 R2.0 (bios 1.60)
CoolerMaster Nepton 120XL (liquid cooler)
I cannot play any games, because after few minutes the temperature of the CPU is > 70°.
I believed that the problem was the stock cooler of the CPU, so i changed it first with CoolerMaster TX3 Evo and after with the Nepton 120XL, but the result is always the same.

Here a result from AIDA64

The thermal margin is 12 degree

I'm having trouble seeing the small print in your pics, but the core temps look to be 60C under load. Not unusual for that processor. Why can't you play games?
The CPU under load is 73C.
 
I don't know ? if it was a stock fan cooler I say its ok ?? but seeing that water cooler ??? I would think I'd expect better on that ?? maybe the cooler is defective ?? then as many you tried and the same results ??


I guess if its not throttling down or beeping or shutting down or bsoding .. may just be a bad sensor ?? if a good heavy cpu load heating things up and stays under max [12c headroom] may call it good ???
tough call
 
no matter how or where you look this up its the same inconclusive results ?? like most it comes down to if its not throttling - shutting dowm error beeping or bsod - its good ??

heres a owners club thread ?? maybe some more insight ??

could come down to luck of the draw ?? you get a cool runner or you get a hot runner - like the guys on water I linked above just hot running chips and not much to do about it ??

Well... if the pump is connected to the CPU FAN header, it will run at reduced speed as per the auto setting in BIOS. Most AIO pumps need to run at their full RPM to keep from burning up over time. And to provide the best performance. I have my H60 pump connected to a sys fan header that is always at 100%. My rad fan is connected to the CPU FAN header and runs at low speed until needed... just like a normal CPU cooler fan.

Do you have the water pump plugged into the CPU FAN header or a SYS FAN header?

Yes on CPU FAN but on bios i set it on manual mode so it's always at 100%.

Unfurtunally the sensor is good, when CPU reaches 80C the system shuts down and beeping or if i enabled Throttle on BIOS at 70C begin to throttling.

The FX8320 and 8350 should not be used on the board due to it's poor power and thermal design.

That board is a poor fit for 125w CPU's.
If the board is a poor fit for 125W Cpu's, i should have a low performance and not an high temperature i guess.
 
well not to hurt your feelings or anything , but AM3+ is what drove me over to intel for the first time in 15 years - you see a lot of true old amd fan boys jumping the amd ship these days .. now all I'm waiting for is a good excuse to ditch my amd vid-card as well .. I cant see going back to them on that either. its a older 7000 card but I yet to see anything newer that really impressed me to update from it ??

hope the best for you on this and to get it all worked out .. I thinking its the nature of them chips . you see a lot of these type threads on it ..
 
like I was thinking it just may come downto the binning of the chips and how lucky you get ?? when you google it around things are all over the place as far as a solid answer ??

look at the threads on this with temps on water or air then think how many chips are used that seem just fine to the users on air alone ? seems you made a try to cool it saying you used 3 coolers on it with the same results ?? could be a voltage issue but with out another like chip to test to see if it reoccurs on it as well you don't know is it something about that chip or something with the board or its bios ?????
 
I was looking at another thread that pop up , and another 835 on a 4+1 board ? I can lean to what blackbird says on if you run I demanding chip it is best to have a board with the 8+2 phase .. still no guarantees but just falls into common sense thing [opinion]

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2742237/amd-8350-overheating-shutdown-problem.html

but then you would think there would be a heck of a lot more reports on that issue with that 4 phase boards as well but it maybe more common ???

in the end unless you got a extra like chip to test that out you still just don't know if it the chip your running or something else ??

scan these threads for the temp ones ??

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/all.html?refine=8320

and so on and see ?? im sure theres lots of folks with your board and no issue ??

but I will say the extreme 9 or the ud3 revision 4 or 5 is the better looking way to go [opinion]
