I have an AMD A10-7850K, which I have heard runs hot, but I believe that idle, or low intensity browsing, shouldn't yield temps of 90-110C. Temperatures get so hot the CPU slows to prevent damage. All this I have realized only recently. On the 'High performance' Power plan, I get these extemely high temps, and a CPU clock speed of about 4GHz
This is a speccy reading of my CPU, when on the high-performance power plan.
After burning itself up, the CPU automatically goes into what im assuming is power-saver power plan, as the cpu clock speed is the same
This is a reading on the power-saver plan, which I am currently running. Of course this also comes at a cost of reduced performance.
I have checked my CPU fan, which is on (4000RPM), the thermal paste looks fine (images below) and the heat sink is firmly attached.
These are current pictures of my cpu cooling situation. (if they look dusty its because these were taken before cleaning)
This is the CPU fan currently in use.
And these two show the amount of thermal paste on both sides of the connection, which I believe looks normal?
Do any of these images show anything blatantly wrong with this setup? At the moment, since performance is taking a huge hit, at the expense of keeping low temps, I am considering buying a new cooling solution, such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, as I have heard good things about it, while hearing bad about the stock cooler for this CPU. I am really concerned about the high temps, as those are damaging(?) to the cpu im assuming, and I am unsure how long this issue has persisted for. I cannot always remember my pc slowing itself to heat (I have had this cpu for about 5 months), but I do not know if temps have been this high the entire time.
Will getting a new cooler be the solution to my problem, is the issue somewhere within my current setup, or does the fault lie with my CPU itself?
I have checked my BIOS, and I was on a max performance plan, and I am now on 'normal', but otherwise I have done no overclocking or fiddle with anything but quite recently, the fan speed.
