Hi all, i just built my brother a PC but it is having a overheating problem when underload. Ive tried cleaning and reapplying the thermal paste, speeding up the fans to max and resitting the cooler.
The specs are
fx 8350
m5a99x evo r2.0 mobo
12gb of standard ddr3 ram
corsair 550w vs psu
standatd 2tb HD
and this is probably it but im using a old stock cooler from the a10 6800k on it as the cooler i bought said it was AM3+ but had no way to add a mount or adjust it at all. I can get through a nearly full run of 3dmark before it overheats hitting around 80c and turning off (its around 40-55c idle cant get a exact measurement as it consantly changes) on the 1080p high end pc test. Just before i buy a hyper evo 212 i just want a second opinion as im the only one here trying to fix this. Thanks for any Reply
