AMD FX-8320 & MSI 760GMA-P34 Normal Temps?

ShadowWolfx · Nov 2, 2015

Alright so,Ive kinda been concerned about the TMPIN1 and my PC's temp overall.

So when my computer idles,and I have nothing more than my browser, and a few communication apps running (Skype) (Not playing any graphically intensive games.) I'm sitting at a 50-51 degree Celsius in my TMPIN1 (According to HWMonitor, the max is 87 Celsius,but that isn't: safe from what Ive read)

I'm wondering, is that a safe operational temperature?

These are the readings at the time of this post:

Fx 8 cores, max temp is 62c.

Don't use HWmonitor, it is not accurate on AMD for some reason. Instead, use AMDOverDrive.

These temps are VERY high. For an FX processor you really want to keep the temps under 60 degrees.

I assume you are still using the stock cooler. If you are, it was a mistake on your side. A stock cooler might be somewhat effective for a 6-core FX-6300 (I would buy aftermarket cooler anyway), but for an 8-core FX the stock cooler is a no-no.

Replace your cooler as soon as possible as to avoid heat damage. This Hyper 212 Evo is simply very good and cheap so get it if your case is wide enough: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446519507&sr=8-1&keywords=evo+212

Don't forget the thermal paste!

No offense. However, I would recommend the Cryorig H7 over the 212 EVO. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF2DZ6565

It performs consistently better than the 212 EVO at the same price point. Here is a review,

Benjiwenji :

No offense taken. I honetly never heard of this cooler? Did it start production recently?

Anyway, 212 Evo and 212 Plus are a better choice in my opinion because they are just a little cheaper, but for just $5-10 I agree, you can get the Cryorig H7 if you want

It's also a difference of only 1-4 degrees which is nothing at stock but will be helpful if you want to overclock like hell.

I think it came out the end of last year. It has received great reviews. I recently bought one for my Fx6300 and was able to OC to 4.4 @ 65c. I am now keeping it at 4.3.

update: If you're not planning on overclocking, just replacing the stock heatsink, I heard this is a decent cooler too. A sort of better version of the CM hyper t2

I have no idea whether i am using a stock cooler or not, this PC was bought on recommendation (because my friend had the same PC) from Micro Center. Also..I do experience complete random shutdowns at times when I am doing graphically intensive things,could the Temperature be the reason why my PC will shut off (Not a restart,but acts like I held down the Power Indicator on the Tower)? Also when I feel the back vent of the tower, it is cool. Well if it is my cooler like a couple of you are saying..thank god they're dirt cheap

AMDOverDrive Readings: (I have no idea how to read these,if any of you could recommend settings to me)

that means the cpu is 30c from hitting its thermal limit on idle. When the thermal margin reaches 0c, then it is overheating.

If you don't know, then it is probably stock.

This is the stock cooler,

I would recommend that you get this cooler for your 8320.

Benjiwenji :

So,Im assuming thats really really bad if im just idling. Would tuning it help or should I just go ahead and scrap the cooler I have and buy a new one

Benjiwenji · Nov 2, 2015

ShadowWolfx :

No, not necessarily. Run Prime95's Small FFTs test while closely monitoring your AMDOverDrive temperatures. Stop test if it hits 0c. Run it for 5 mins and you'll know whether or not you need a better cooler.

Benjiwenji :

Yeah..It literally hits 0 in 30 seconds..Well, like I said thank god these coolers are cheaper but thats the last time I ever buy something like that from Microcenter

Benjiwenji · Nov 3, 2015

Well a good cooler shouldn't cost more than 20-40 USD.
