Hello,as the title suggests i have a build with a FX8370, it started having issues with overheating and shutting down, after installing AMD Overdrive and doing some testing it looks like it always runs at full speed (Turbo: 4320MHz @1,425 V and turbo off:4019MHz @1,35V) at idle the temps are around 40 degrees from the thermal margin, but they go to -20 degrees before shutting down (since the margin is @60 degrees, it means it goes to 80 degrees Celsius) i have never overclocked it, it's as is from new, all setting are set to default in bios. I'll provide a photo at idle. Specsheet: CPU: AMD FX8370 GPU: Nvidia 1050Ti Motherboard: gigabyte 12dc1-amd9se-250cr RAM: 16GB DDR3 PSU: Thermaltake 470w OS: Win11

Hello, 3 days i ago i changed my old motherboard to an msi 760gm-p23 fx. I added my AMD FX 6300 and my RX 550, yeah yeah i know, old stuff, but that's all i can affoard. The problem comes when i start up a game, for example gta 5. When the CPU temp sits up to 67°C, the game goes smoothly. But as soon as the CPU temp goes to 68°C, it automatically goes to 206°C, throttling the performance and making the games run at 16 fps. Worst thing about it is that it does not stop until i reboot. I can close the game, keep my pc on the desktop so it cools down, but if i reopen the game it will still measure 206. This has never been an issue with my old motherboard. Now, of course this is an error in measuring the temperature, otherwise my pc would catch fire. I have searched the internet and apparently this is a common problem with this MoBo, but i can't find any solution. Is there any way to fix this? Please refrain from telling me to buy a new MoBo, i am broke af, i don't have more money to spend on this stuff. I just paid 47 euros for this one wich is what i make in 2 days of work (that's Italy for you)

Yes yes yes, i know i have an old computer and yes im looking in to upgrading when prices go down a bit more. I made my system in late 2015 so i think it was decent at the time. But since i bought it it was always running a bit hotter than i would have liked, my cpu (FX-8350) was regularly running at over 80c when gaming more demanding games with a CoolerMaster 212 EVO. I looked in to the subject a bit and learned that the fx-8350 likes to run hot and that its normal, but looking at much more powerful new cpus from intel and amd i cant imagine that 80c+ temp on an older cpu with a good cooler are normal. I dont have an overclock, i have 4 case fans generating positive air pressure inside the case, room is well ventilated. I'm trying to figure out if my situation is really normal or not, and is there a cheap fix since i dont want to invest in an old system.

I recently got old pc components for me to assemble and use. but I don't have a case for it, the motherboard is from early 2010's and its AM3+ Gigabyte with an AMD FX CPU. I'm trying to find a dedicated GPU that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. But I want to get a case ordered. but i wanted to know what cases (if any) would be good for this motherboard. preferably new, but old will work too. Thanks for any help!

So i bought msi gt750ti in around 2016-2017, it worked very well with my fx 6300 up untill few months when i got my first burned 4pin cpu connector on motherboard, luckily motherboard was under warranty so got it repaired, next thing that got issue was 24pin connector, it was burned but this time, i bought new motherboard and psu wires were replaced by service center (psu was circle 450w) after few months it was my 750ti, it started to crash in solid color (dark blue, red, green, navy blue) then one day it completely stopped working as it was under warranty, i sended it to service center but they told me that it was not repairable and gave me credit note. Then i bought new motherboard and new gpu (1050ti) cpu and ram were same (fx 6300 along with 8gb of local vendor ram). Then in june~august 2019 my 1050ti gave me issues, so sent it and got replaced, bought new psu too (corsair vs550 80+white) and bought a new ups for only PC, then it was rainy season here and one fine day i started my air conditioner and smelled burning so i called technician next day and as soon as he switched on the AC and there was short circuit in AC motor, my screen went blank and yet again 1050 ti somehow died along with the tv it was connected to ( i diagnosed that it was because of power strip not being connected to earth wire at the time) Ups was working when this happened and pc was also running but gpu had no fan spin and tv didn't had display as it also got burn on hdmi port on pcb. Again sent 1050ti got replacement, bought new TV and a heavy duty surge protector with ground, now in between this 1050ti lost a capacitor/resistor or some diod of some kind, took it for repair and the guy instantly fixed the issue. So basically 3 times 1050 ti was already replaced and repaired Now wait it does 4th time too ha! In Feb 2021, i got a BSOD and had to manually shut and start pc, upon starting i heard beep from speaker and came to know that it was due to ram so i removed 1 stick and tried to boot and it did so i then cleaned surface of ram and reinstalled it and thats when 1050ti stopped spinning fan and didn't gave output. I heard beep of boot screen so i knew something was wrong with 1050ti itself, so i tested without gpu and with spare gt210 and it booted with screen both time. Now to current situation: i start pc normally, use it for sometime then it crashes randomly while on excel sheet or while gaming or just on desktop, it then restarts and i can hear speaker making boot beep but there is no signal, so i tried to connect tv to motherboard and was able to see display. (This is all while my 1050ti was connected and having spinning fan) So next step i did was reseat gpu, nope didn't work, next i tried to reseat 24pin, got into bios and it crashed. Tried gt210, it did same thing few times, but after few tries it started to give display and was no longer crashing. Again reseated 24pin and put 1050ti It worked, stressed gpu using msi kombustor, gpuz render test, unigine heaven and benchmark mode as well as story mode in assassins creed Valhalla, it didn't crash, so started fortnite, after 2-3 matches it crashed, again repeated same steps, it crashed on windows loading part, after repeating reseating 24pin and gpu, it worked again, this time it worked for whole week then after 6 days it started crashing, repeated same it worked. Now my psu is corsair vs550 so i know it can handle 1050ti easily but yup i am out of answers So please someone help me diagnose issue. This issue is blowing my mind now. I have already invested heavily on this rig Since 2016 i have had replaced motherboard, gpu, ram, psu and bought ups too in 2019. I think it is because of motherboard but i am not sure and due to covid, service center is not open so i cannot take it there to get tested. I want to buy new ryzen 3600/i5 10400 along with new motherboard and ram but i first want to diagnose this issue and be absolutely sure. Specs: Gpu: Gigabyte 1050ti 4gb (bought in 2018) Psu: corsair vs550 (bought in 2018) Ram: 8gb hyperx 1866mhz Cpu: amd fx6300 Mobo: gigabyte 78lmt s2 r2 (bought in 2018) Sorry if there is any mistakes in typing, i have written all this on pastebin and tweeted it to jayztwocents and linus and Anthony, upon which Anthony has replied to me: " After those steps, my gut says CPU/RAM; I've found FX CPUs' IMCs degrade over time. Try a BIOS reset and upping CPU NB and DDR3 voltages slightly (start with ~0.05-0.1V). Leave RAM speed at default. Disclaimer: This will degrade it faster. There's no fix if this is the issue. "

Pretty straight forward question, will my GPU be bottlenecked in a significant manner by my CPU? I’m going to be running a GTX 1060 6GB SC as my GPU, and a FX-8370 @4GHz as my CPU. If it’s important I’ll also be running 20 GB of 1600MHz DDR3. Thanks guys

I just ordered an FX-8370 and Hyper 212 Black Edition for my first PC build, but I’ve heard a lot about the FX-8370 running very hot, and I just wanted to make sure my Hyper 212 will be enough to cool it? If not I can resort to ordering a Rosewill PB240. Keep in mind this is my first ever PC build so I’m not completely acquainted with this hardware yet. (FYI: I have 3 120mm case fans as well)

Recently I have decided that I need an upgrade. I'm currently running an i5 2400 with an OEM 1155 board. My CPU is no longer powerful enough for what I need to do with my PC as what I'm doing requires a high core count, and recently I've had this problem where the CPU fan just decides to stop spinning and it lets my CPU heat up to 100C while I'm putting it under load. I'm not able to configure the fan curve in the bios, as the bios for this motherboard is very simple because I slowly ripped out every part of a prebuilt Lenovo system while upgrading. SO i've been thinking of having 2 possible upgrade paths, and since I already have an AM3+ cooler on hand I thought to either go for an FX chip like the FX-8320 and an AM3+ motherboard since FX CPUs are relatively cheap and have high core counts, or go for a second hand 1st gen ryzen with AM4 board. I don't want to spend more than £100 on this upgraden at most, which is why I want to know if my AM3+ cooler can fit. It's the stock CPU cooler for the FX-8350 chip, and I don't want to have to spend extra on a new bracket for my current cooler, or to buy a new cooler outright.

I started buying new parts for a new build and I thought about using the new gpu temporarily on my old rig until I get the rest of the parts. It is a rx 5600 xt. But when I installed it with a new power supply, it won't boot past bios, it doesn't reboot, it just stays with a black screen until I turn it off.... Tried updating bios, removing and replacing the motherboard battery, and nothing. As soon as I put my old gpu back it works normally again! Components: mother: Asus M5A88 V-EVO Cpu: FX-8120 Black Edition + stock cooler. Ram 2x4 ddr3 + 1x8 ddr3 HDD: WD blue 1tb 7200rpm Old gpu: Radeon hd 6570 New gpu: XFX rx 5600 xt Power supply: Aerocool Cyclon 700w 80+ bronze

Hello LTT comunity, finally it's time to upgrade my old computer. Currently I have an FX 8350 cpu with a crosshair formula z motherboard and Strix RX580 8GB TOP GPU. For now I'm planning to upgrade to R7 3700X, but I don't know what to do with motherboard. I see several choices at the moment B550 AORUS MASTER and ROG STRIX B550-E GAMING. I see Gigabyte as a better choice for the future, but I’m worried about the first PCI-E slot, how much slower gpu speed will be if I install rtx 2070 in the future on 8X lanes insted 16X lanes. As far as i understand it will only at 8X speed if I use second m.2 slot? i rarely play but always want to try something. or maybe you have better offer for motherboard?

When I moved to Chile two years ago I was unable to bring my other rigs from the US and as such I had to build a new daily driver from components sourced locally. I decided to go with FX because my place doesn't have heating and it gets cold in the winter, and because I like overclocking. Over the last two years I've changed out components whenever I found anything better, like going from a 600W Corsair non 80+ unit to a 1000W EVGA Supernova P2 and from a GTX 760 to an RX 480. My current specs: AMD FX 9590 (sometimes) Asus Crosshair V Forumla-Z 990FX AM3+ G Skill 16GB DDR3 2400MHz CL10 (F3-2400C10D-16GTX) MSI RX 480 4GB Samsung 850 Evo EVGA Supernova P2 1000W Cooler Master 240mm AiO NZXT H500 White I use this machine to do some overclocking in my free time, but nothing too crazy due to the 240mm AiO. I have a few FX chips that I've recovered from the electronics recycler which I try to take as high as I can with the AiO. In my collection I have an FX-4100, 4130, 4350, 6120, 6350, 8320, 8350, 9590 plus a Phenom 1090T. I've done some experimenting and even got the memory up to 2600MHz CL10 with an FX-6350 at 5.3GHz, which is impressive for an FX chip imo. Here we see an FX-6350 at 5.3GHz with 2600MHz DDR3 in Cinebench R15 scoring 642, which took 6th place worldwide on HWBOT These days It's easy to spend a lot of time overclocking given that there isn't much else to do. I'll be building up my collection of AM3 and AM3+ chips, stay tuned. -Ryan Leech

I'm an university teacher. (in latin america) I use OBS to stream and record my classes. I have an FX-8320E and a Nitro R9 380 4GB, 400Mbps down and 10Mbps Up. I use virtualcam to get the video output to zoom. 1080p 30fps canvas for webcam+ppt+realtime subs+zoom chat. I think virtualcam uses the stream configuration (x264, main, veryfast, 4000 bitrate) Also i record the classes with x264 2500 bitrate, and get 1.5GB per class, but i get some little artifacts if i'm also doing some stuff in the pc and i'm not very conformed with the quality for 1080 30fps. I want to try H264/AVC (AMD encoder) to get the gpu make some work. The video then is uploaded to youtube and deleted the file (no edit), so i don't care so much about file size. I'm not sure what kind of options for the AMD encoder should i use. I want around 5000 bitrate for the recording, but i'm not sure if use QP, CBR, VBR or VBRLAT. Have anyone experience using AMD encoder to record video? Thanks in advance.

Ok it appears that on CPU-world website I compared the FX-8370 of mine with a Phenom II X6 1090T, Ryzen 5 3600X and i5-9600KF, what surprised is there seems to be FEW NEW INSTRUCTION SETS POST BULLDOZER / PILEDRIVER... In other words anything from Phenom II era or older may lack some new ones but FX and later is still good even now in 2020? The only new ones is AVX2.0 and TSX one of the two is a proven failure and does anything even use AVX2.0 not work with regular AVX? If all is good with AVXthen why upgrade for any other reason than performance lacking?

Hi everyone! I just signed up to this forum so I could have your opinion for an eventual build upgrade. Nothing fancy here. I'm an occasional gamer and I simply want a smooth experience at 1080p. Actual build (built in 2015) CPU: AMD FX-8320 (overclocked at 4.6GHz) (w/ Corsair H100i Water Cooling) MB: MSI 970 Gaming RAM: G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3-1866MHz 16GB (4x4GB) GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB PSU: Corsair CS750M SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB HDD: Western Digital WD Caviar Blue 1TB Here is what I came up with after doing some research. Upgraded build CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (w/ Wraith Stealth Cooler) MB: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4-3600MHz CL16 16GB (2x8GB) GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB SSD: Western Digital WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe M.2 (w/o Heatsink) To save some money, I could reuse the power supply, SSD and HDD from the previous build. I could also deal with the stock Ryzen CPU cooler since they are apparently way better than the previous ones. Questions: Is this build just right for 1080p gaming? Could I simply replace 1 or 2 components in my actual build to achieve the same goal? Could there be a more budget-friendly equivalent AMD GPU for the GTX 1660 Super? Thank you in advance for your answers! Michael

My friend has an AMD system with fx 6300, 4+4gb vengeance ddr3 1600 and a 1050 in it and he is facing isues. His total ram is shown as 5.89Gb usable out of 8gb. Board is a 78lmt usb-3. I tried all trouble shooting steps including using a eraser and 99% Isopropanol to rub the old carbon residue off the ram gold contacts. Also unchecked maximum memory in boot section. Bios also detects 6gb ram. I tried other slots and once it showed 8gb in bios but in windows showed same 5.89 usable out of 8. At this point I am unsure if this a faulty motherboard or a buggy bios since both sticks in single config are detected as 4gb.

Hey everybody first time posting pls bear with me. I just needed somewhere i could share how excited i am about this upgrade it feels so overdue. My current rig is a mash up of newer and somewhat older parts and its definitely starting to show its age, takes like 2 to 3 trys to post when its cold idk y ?. and gameplay is almost unplayable at this point avg 25 -30 fps on low to med setting. I think is have gotten used to playing with the lag, Its bad lol. Cant wait to build the new rig. just ordered the cpu and motherboard last week Here the specs Old CPU: Amd 8100 overclocked to 3.1 GHz (o yea its hot rodded) Gpu: Asus gtx 970 ( only quality thing in this rig) Motherboard: (ASRock idk but its so old it has sata and ribbon cable ports on it). PSU: Corsair CX Series 750 Watt Ram: 8gbs ( some Chinese no-name brand) New CPU:Amd ryzen 9 3900x Gpu Asus gtx 970 (im holding out for the nivida 3000 card to drop, yea i know it will be a bottleneck ,it shouldn't that bad for short-term) Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS Ultra ( I would like to hear opinions on this board, felt a little unsure on what would be a good board.) Ram: still not sure PSU: Is it chill to use the old corsair 750 or do i something beefier?

So, I made the choice of getting a Radeon RX5700 about a week ago, and I've been loving it ever since, but it's really funky with my trash CPU. I was in need of a GPU after my previous one failed, so I went for a worth-while purchase and got the RX5700 while it was on sale for about only $290. It runs incredibly well on certain games and its speed is exceptional, destroying my other consideration in almost every way: the 1660Ti. However, my old setup is lagging me behind while using this GPU. I'm still running AM3+, my CPU being an unlocked AMD FX 6300, my ram being a pathetic 1333mhz, but totaling 16gb of ddr3 memory, my other stuff's a gigabyte 78lmt-usb3 r2 MB, solid state main drive, some storage HDD's, you get the picture. When I try using the GPU while gaming, things get a little weird. Some games run fine, like Forza Horizon 4 and Spyro: Reignited Trilogy (Max Graphics for Both). However some games using older architecture, like even something insanely light like Java Vanilla Minecraft, will cause lag in places that are WAY within this beastly card's limitations. I find this so strange because I'll be running a new game like Spyro with no sweat at 60fps, fullscreen, ultra graphics and vsync, but the moment I run something that isn't a newly built game, like Destiny 2, (Steam Port), I get horrid lag (avg. 40 fps) when viewing a lot of geometry, that doesn't change at all despite me altering my graphics settings from absolute low to absolute highest. My main guess is because this card is so new and beefy, my old CPU just isn't good enough for keeping up with the Navi framework when it tries to run older games. However, if I know AMD well enough, it could be a driver-side incompatibility, something they just haven't gotten around to fixing yet, or perhaps never will since they've dropped their FX line of products years ago. I'm planning on upgrading my setup to AM4+, but a good out-of-the-box setup for a gaming rig that uses the full power of this card would be $400. I know my setup's garbage, but I'm considering running with it for at least a bit more time. Until I can afford a proper and steady upgrade, are there any sort of suggestions anybody might have about increasing the level of compatibility so older stuff can run more smoothly?

Since my laptop died, I recovered my old 2013 build with an 8350, 8Gbs of ram and slapped a Power vision RX 580 onto it, problem is that the cooling is not so great, and I want it to be as quiet as possible, so I have 3 doubts 1.What CPU Cooler should I get for this CPU? (Arround 40$ for that) 2. Since my PowerVision RX 580 Red Dragon GPu is very loud under load, I was thinking of buying this https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Graphics-Efficient-DCACO-V820001-GBA01/dp/B00IEO8H22 But I'm not sure if it will fit and if it's worth it. 3. I was thinking of buying 4 Noctuafans for the case, one rear one front and two on top, should I get the brown ones or the black ones? Thank you very much, I consider myself a noon when it comes to cooling

Source: Tom's Hardware Source 2: The Register Update (Aug 28, 2019): Source 3: AnandTech PDF of lawsuit agreement: https://regmedia.co.uk/2019/08/27/amd-eight-core-settlement.pdf I think this would be a reasonable payout since it has been 8 years since the first Bulldozer CPU came out. The lawsuit itself regarding the marketing of the CPU cores mainly in the FX 8xxx lineup of having 8-cores I believe is kind of a false advertisement; it would be like buying a really nice car that featured air conditioning but you can not use it when the car is moving. I still have my FX-8350 and it runs pretty okay, but performance is not really great for the amount of heat generated and power consumed. With Ryzen, it seems AMD changed their way of marketing without trying to really say anything that would comeback and hit them.
