Hi
I am trying to get the most out of my FX6300. I have installed a Hyper EVO 212 cooler and two case fans so I can overclock it. I have a MSI 970a G43 plus motherboard. I have pushed the clock speed to 4100Mhz and have upped the core voltage to around 1.43 to 1.45V to keep it stable. I use Speed fan to measure temps and P95 for stress testing. Speedfan and the MSI utility Command Centre align with the same CPU temp which is around 38C with little load and gets up to 55C with P95 running at max load (Temp 1 on Speed fan).
During stress testing the PC at 100% load appears stable ie no Windows errors or reboots but after around 7 mins or so the PC just suddenly turns off completely. The CPU temp seems fine at around 55C or so when this happens, but I have noticed that Temp 2 on speed fan creeps up and gets to around 124C when the PC cuts out - this appears to be repeatable at the same level ! It looks as if Temp 2 reaching this temp appears to trigger a hard PC shut down. My problem is I do not know what Temp 2 is and why this appears to get so high.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue please ? - its a shame I appear to be well within the CPU temp limits and I can't proceed to overclock a little further because of this.
Thanks for any help.....
