hello everyone, recently I decided to change my thermal paste. Ever since I reinstalled my CPU cooler, the CPU fan never ramps up to 5000 rpm under heavy load. So under load the CPU temp goes to 80 - 85 C instead of 60-65 C and starts throttling. I have tried changing BIOS settings such as Smart Fan Control etc, tweaked with fan controlling software. They constantly tell that the fan is spinning at 100% while the RPM is only 3500-3600. I have tried clearing the CMOS but nothing helps.
My CPU is running at stock speed.
My Rig:
AMD FX- 6300(stock) with stock cooler
MSI 970A- G43 mobo
Corsair Vengence 1600 MHz RAM
Zotac GTX 1060 6GB GPU
Corsair VS 550 PSU
3*120 Case Fans
Any Idea of what is causing this issue?
I have tried plugging the CPU fan to Chasis fan header and ran it at 100%. But the fan sits at 3500 RPM regardless.
Thanks In Advance.
