Do these bios setings look ok?

Yashwanth_1 · Nov 21, 2015

i have a fx8350 hooked to a gigabyte ga-970 ds3p. just went to check on the bios. im not overclocking. never, but, are these looking ok?
should i set a temperature and turn the warnings on?

Sorry, I cannot open the file.

Please post your temperatures in text form.

is my voltage and all other setings right?
should i enable the warnings?

SubZeroFlsh · Nov 21, 2015

For CPUs,

30-40C is normal for an idle CPU. However, an idle system temperature of 35C is a little on the warm side. But nothing to worry about.

If a CPU reaches 80C then extra cooling support is reccomend. If it reaches above 80C then the CPU may suffer from internal damage, or harm the CPU socket.

About your voltages, they are normal and your PSU is functioning normally.

If your still worried about the temperatures of your CPU, then I would reccomend any of these options:

-More fans for your case.
-3rd party CPU cooler.
-Clean the dust from the CPU cooler and case fans.

Please ask more questions if you need any further assistance.

Hope this helps!

i got my pc custom build by a shop nearby. i just went into bios and saw all the warnings were
turned off. and the cpu voltage was about 1.36 V
here is an image if that helps.
this scared me a bit.

BTW while i do my usual sony vegas at full load my cpu temp reaches 60 degrees Celsius

SubZeroFlsh · Nov 21, 2015

Is your CPU voltage always like this?

Do some research to see what the normal VCore Voltage is for your CPU.

SubZeroFlsh :

im a noob at this, i think im asking a lot, when i research all i see is overclock voltage.

Your motherboard is not good enough for a 125w cpu. Your only options are to get a better motherboard, get a 95w cpu, or downclock your 8350.

I'm the dude who asked the question.
I see that everything is under safe zone temps. And if you are worrying about the vrm heating, its a 4+1 with a heatsink. The question is should I alter the voltages? They do not look normal. And should I turn on the core temperature warning and fan warning?

Amazing_Mr_potato · Nov 21, 2015

If all fail. I need a detailed guide for underclocking.

dudeman509 · Nov 21, 2015

The BIOS runs the CPU full-out @ 4 GHz. 1.36 is pretty normal for a 8350.

HWMonitor shows it underclocked to 1.4 GHz (thanks to Cool N Quiet being enabled), that's why the low VCore voltage.

I don't see anything to worry about, but looks like you could use a better CPU cooler.

Amazing_Mr_potato · Nov 21, 2015

Thanks for the answer, I'mretty sure that the mobo could handle it. And by the way should I turn on the CPU fan warning and temp warning?

CTurbo · Nov 21, 2015

The 1.4ghz is the motherboard throttling the cpu under load. Temps are fine BECAUSE of the throttling. Temps are never going to be a problem because the motherboard won't let them get out of hand.

Amazing_Mr_potato · Nov 21, 2015

Wait,.... You didn't see the image did you, while I was rendering and cinebenching all my threads go to 100percent and were about 4.2 ghz

CTurbo · Nov 21, 2015

I believe that it ran at 4.2ghz at some point during...

dudeman509 · Nov 21, 2015

It's not throttling to 1.4 ghz with that temperature. It's just idle.

Sure, turn on the warnings.

Amazing_Mr_potato · Nov 22, 2015

My renders usually last 30 minutes and I keep checking the HW monitor throughout. It always runs at 100percent with 4.18 or something close speeds. Its nice and stable. The problem is that the temps occasionally hit 55 on cpu and 61 on mobo. I need to know if that is. Problem. And if the warning should be on, if the warning should be on what limit should I impose on it?

dudeman509 · Nov 22, 2015

Temps are fine, voltages are fine. I just checked; default for my 8320 is 1.3375V, and it's running at 1.38 @ 4.5.

Max safe core temp recommended by AMD is 62 degrees C. Maximum socket temperature is 70 degrees C. Set your monitors to something close to those. You're well within that design limit - I see 55C all the time when working it full-out.

CTurbo · Nov 22, 2015

dudeman509 has a VERY good motherboard that would probably get near 5.0ghz if he wanted...

To answer your original question, you should really need to worry about temps as long as you're not trying to OC. There is little to no chance of it overheating as long as you installed the heatsink correctly. I recommend setting the voltage to auto.
