AMD fx 8350 with seidon 120v plus water cooling too hot

I4x Y · Dec 24, 2015

So my AMD fx 8350 is 55 degrees at idle and around 90 when playing games such as League of Legends of CSGO. I have Seidon 120v plus water cooling which seems to not be doing its job. My case is ThermalTake Versa H23, my case fan is a Thermaltake (TT-1225). My gpu is EVGA Gtx 960 and Mobo is Asrock 970 Extreme R2.

It seems way too hot for temps and I want to know why. Do I need to replace thermal paste or something. I WANT A COOLER SYSTEM!!!! I'm literally taking the side panel off and blowing into the CPU with a table fan at max to keep it at 70-80 degrees when playing. Could be dust too, but i'm not sure someone help!!!!!!!.

Hi,

What have you overclocked it to? If any at all. I would say that the thermal paste is bad. Or you have a broken pump inside the CPU block. I have noticed that if I do not plug in the pump header, it gets really hot. If it was anything it would be the thermal paste, there is too much, too little or it is bad. but it could also be the pump.

From AsRock

* For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design.

Point a spare fan at the CPU socket and PWM --- clean the dust out of your computer

Use AMD OverDrive to accurately determine your CPU "Thermal Margin"

If you have overclocked, back it down! I'd also try to lower the voltage if at all possible (if you can maintain stability).
The table fan probably saved your system; not because of the CPU, but because the VRMs on your motherboard are probably even hotter, and they are not cooled by your CPU cooler.

Onus :

How do you lower the voltage and stuff cos when i use ASRock extreme tuner and make it lower then restart pc it goes back to old settings not saving the new ones. Ill add a screenshoot of my setttings soon. And my Mobo temp is normal at 25-30 degrees forever but only the cpu is getting hot,

Here's the deal:

You could go in the BIOS to the OCTweaker Menu, but I wouldn't mess with it. Use the Clock/Voltage Tab in AOD. Use the CPU Status Tab for the thermal margin, and the Stability Test for 100% load.

Disable Turbo, Core Control and 'APM' -- the core-throttling function. Your VCore is likely way too high and that is a big driver of your temps --- but it's a good thing because I suspect you have some VDroop, which is essentially the difference between your VCore and actual Load Volts.

You can compare the Volts in AOD to what is reported in CPUz. Let's say at 4.4GHz you have a VCore of 1.375v but the Load Volts in CPUz says 1.335v.

The secret is to find the sweet spot between your clock speed, VCore and Load Volts. You should notice a pattern when numbers tend to jump really out of wack --- that's the AMD volt wall, where the stakes, and the electricity, and the temps take a big leap.

Wisecracker :

This is temp and cpu settings etc after start up:

This is it after a game of CSGO.

P.S Pls note that the CPU fan 2 is the desktop fan which is 2315 RPM not the actual fan inside the case.and also it would be around 90 degrees without desktop fan.
