I will try and keep this as condensed and factual as I can be!
Main points of system:
ASRock 970 3 (not R2)
AMD FX-8120 (factory cooler)
16gb corsair ram
Corsair 100R case with 5 fans
Win7 64bit
Verified problem/behavior:
- At presentation of desktop, CPU fan starts to rapid rise in RPM until it is at full on; reboot to BIOS to check fans
- In BIOS, cpu temp starts ~34*C ramp up to 54* within 2 minutes. Continues to rise and hold to ~59*c
Actions taken:
- Computer is shut down any time not in use; heat and noise of computer make the office unbearable
- Removed heatsink and fan, blew out heatsink with air compressor set to 22psi
- Cleaned off old thermal paste; reapplied after watching a youtube video about different techniques
- Started up and launched BIOS; no change in behavior
- Update latest bios (v2); no change in behavior
- Looked for and updated ASRock's AMD chipset (mostly USB and GPU updates from what I could tell); reboot, no change in behavior
- Entered into BIOS and clicked "reset uefi bios settings" to bring them to the defaults
So I have tried everything I can think of to monitor and check/change. I do not overclock, or manually mess with any voltages of the system.
Is there something I am missing from my troubleshoot? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
