Greetings guys.

Recently, I started to be more worried about my GPU due to problems with latest crimson drivers, so that's the reason I came there.
All I'm asking right now is to check temperatures and voltages on my whole system or give me an source / informations where I can check ideal temperature and voltage values for my system.

HWMonitor screenshot included.

You can see system specification in the picture, anyway I'll write them below.

CPU: FX-8320 @3.5Ghz (non-overclocked)
MB: M5A97 LE 2.0
HDD: 1TB HDD
RAM: 8GB DDR3 (single)
GPU: Strix R9 380 4GB (oc-version)
PSU: Zalman ZM-600TX (in previous threads I was asking for some recommendation for power supply, because of his loud and wierd noise. I bought an Seasonic M12II Bronze Evo three months ago but unfortunately I don't have enough courage and experience to instal it)

omg you need to install that seasonic psu as past as possible.
this might solve your problem too.

- okay so this is what u want to do shut down the ystem and remove the pwoer chord.

- remove the 24 pin cable right on the motherbaord
- remove the 4 pin cpu on top of the motherbaord
- remove the big flat cable to the hdd.
- remove the 6+2 pin gpu cable.

--- remove old psu out of the pc.

-grab the s12ii insert the 24pin motherboard cable in the poweruspply ( 1 left op on top 1 left on bottom bnoth need to be plugged in) insert the 24 cable into the motherboard.
-on the bottom right(doesnt matter) plug in the cpu cable and the 4 pin onto your motherboard)
- plug in right next to that one on the bottom the vga cable and plug in the...

I did it. My hands were shaking at the beginning, after I removed old PSU and started cleaning with air duster (6 months without cleaning) my hands were fine, no more shaking.
I had a issue with connectors, especially the 4-pin for CPU was a bit short but I managed to connect it.. I checked connectors twice if they are connected properly before plugging power cable to the wall.

I checked HW Monitor voltages and temperatures after power supply installation and I want to ask you, if I must post screenshots or just an information about voltages there?
A lot of them changed especially the VIN7. It was at 2.016V with the old PSU and now it's 0.384V. Also the +12V sometimes reach 11.952V is that normal? Same goes for CPU VCORE min. value is 0.888V and max 1.428V.

And of course, thank you so much for an advice to replace it. (that annoying noise is gone)

your old pwoeruspply was certainly decreasing the lifespan of your components, this can elad to crashes and other stuff.
seasonic is the best [powersupply manufacturer in the world and u got a very high quality psu now.

congratulations and yes that voltage output is really solid well done :)

Again, thank you so much for your help. Last thing that I want to ask is about temperature.
GPU is idling at 62°C (143.6 ºF) and while gaming he's at 72ºC (161.6 ºF).
A lot of websites I read, recommanded that 62°C (143.6 ºF) is fine with AMD gpu's.

On the old PSU gaming temperature was the same but on idle I had around 4/5°C less.
I know that is a small diference, I just want to be 100% sure.

EDIT: Actually I have another question, when I was replacing power supply I had compatibility issue with my case, I couldn't use all screws. One hole was out of position. (tried to swap sides, issue presist) I just used 3 screws. (fan is facing down) Everything fine?

There is a fan on side where are ports located. (usb, dvi, etc.)
This fan is getting hot air out of the computer. That's ok? Should I swap it?
Also, my GPU is set to 0db mode under 65°C.

EDIT: 38°C at 30% fan speed. Should I keep it like this?
