I have a big problem at the moment. For years I have been using Corsair's h100i to cool my fx8350 but 3 days ago the pump failed. I didnt have any big budget at the time so I dropped all overclock and bought a coolermaster 212X for my cpu until i gather some money and upgrade to ryzen. My temps though are extremely high. In a 23c room the idle temps are 55C and under gaming it reaches up in the 70s and once it even had a thermal shutdown. I am really worried about something being wrong with my cpu . Do any of you have any ideas why this could be happening?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hmm, I would check the voltages to be sure. Sometimes it will default really high or might have hung-on to something from the OC?

What about clearing CMOS, rebooting to BIOS, load the optimized defaults, reboot back to BIOS again, and then manually fix the CPU, CPU/NB, and CPU VDDC voltages to whatever the actual values are that are displayed.

For example, you would change them from AUTO to the grey values in this photo (1.320V for the CPU in the pic)

Could be due to the way you mounted the cooler or the thermal paste? I run at below 40C at idle and max low 60s in p95 with my 8370 at 4.56GHz with a CRYORIG R1 Ultimate

That cooler should be able to handle an 8350 at stock clocks. What are your CPU voltages and BIOS settings like?

I thought so aswell (mounting) that I could have messed it up. But I took everything apart and checked every angle of what I might have done wrong. I couldnt find something . I used the paste coming with the cooler but I dont think a paste can be that bad (also my applying method was a slightly larger than normaly rice grain) . Also I know something is going wrong cause I remember using the stock amd cooler on the same cpu and having better temps than now. Could it be due to 4 years of constant OC?
the voltages and phases are all set to default .

About the pump : I was running 4.8 ghz at slightly elevated voltage . Pc had a thermal shutdown. dropped the oc then checked temps. It was idling at 70 C and thermal shutdown everytime i opened anything (like chrome) . So I changed paste to see if that was the case and it wasnt. Next possible thing was the pump. Run everything through corsair support and corsair forums and they told me it should be the pump or a clog in the loop (anyway the cooler was pretty much done for)

Case and airflow : corsair c70 with 2 intake fans in the front and 1 exhausting in the back. I have oriented the cpu fan to blow in the same direction as the exhausting fan in the back since they are in pretty much the same line of airflow.

Ok did everything now as I opened my computer it seems to be stabilised at 45 c (which is better I guess) though I did not have the ac open so the room should be arround 27c.

Funny story :As i reseted the cmos I accidentaly pulled by a tiny bit a safety usb cover and I couldnt load for 30 mins till i found out what caused the usb over current status ....

quick update : both pictures are while watching netflix and those are the temps (before/after)

After the cmos update :

Before the cmos update :

(now keep in mind in this case I had been using my pc for 3~ hours and have played some rocket league *that's why the max is so high* )

224C on the package hey... That can't be right...

Either way, the idle and load temperatures on the CPU socket look much much better. Right on par for the cooler you are using I'd say.

Where does that package temp actually sit under load? Obviously not 224C

as the 0 and the 224 is propably something faulty? glitchy? dont know how to describe it best but i am 100% it just is a false reading otherwise my cpu would be on fire :) . I will test tomorrow what the temps are under load since i am way too tired for it right now. Thanks for all the help .
