FX 8320e overheating!!!

[BugadinhoGamers]

My FX-8320e is overheating, i already tried changing thermal paste and nothing, i disabled turbo and its still hot, 50c at idle, and when it had turbo enabled it went to 66c idle, i need help!!

What type of CPU cooler do you have installed? Is it tightly mounted? Did the PC work fine in the past and now start?

Open cpuz and look if it is running at some crazy voltages or is still under load in idle.

Also check if your cpu cooler is warm at the base, if it is cool the cooler is either still not mounted

properly or the temp sensor is whack.

The stock one, its normaly mounted, it worked before, but i swapped motherboards and this started happening.

It the normal 1,2v, and the sensor is fine

Swap it back into the original motherboard and see if the behavior is the same.

Could be dried thermal paste

It was also hot, but about 3 to 5 degrees less, when i tested before swapping

I changed thermal paste today

It may be by design.

 

You have different motherboards from what I read, and they could have different fan curves.

 

By default, most motherboards will try to keep fan speed as low as possible while keeping the cpu temperature below the point where the CPU would start to throttle itself, to reduce frequencies on various cores or even turn off cores completely in order to consume less power and therefore produce less heat.

The 8320e has the temperature threshold set at 70.5 degrees Celsius, so as long as the temperature is below that value, it will function just as well as if it was running at 40 degrees Celsius.

 

50 degrees Celsius is certainly acceptable, not great but it's also not bad.

 

As long as the cpu will stay below let's say 65c during regular computer operation, you don't have to worry about it.

 

If you really want to, you can probably force the minimum fan rpm to some value from the bios, so that for example instead of running at a very low rpm like 600rpm and keeping the cpu at 50c, the fan could run at minimum 1000 rpm and keep the cpu at 45c or something like that.

It would be pointless, it would make your computer slightly more noisy, but you'll be happy seeing a lower number there in a software.

I had set a custom curve, so it is max rpm, and when in game the pc shuts down even on CS:GO

Then make sure the heatsink is sitting properly on the cpu. Some heatsinks can only be installed in one position, if you install them rotated by 90 degrees or 180 degrees they won't stay right on the cpu.

 

Put a tiny blob of thermal paste in the center of the cpu and applyu heatsink as if you'd screw it down / attach it , then try to pull it out and look at the surface of the heatsink... if the paste is spread evenly then there's enough pressure and good contact.

 

Disable that custom fan curve and leave it on auto while you make tests and check things.

 

Use other tools as well to check things. I personally favor Aida 64, it usually reports temperatures and other things more accurately than freeware tools.

What cooler do you use? Maybe you can try cleaning the heatsink

It is installed correctly

One of two things:

 

1. Bad cooler.

2. Bad overclock.  

 

(in case of bad overclock, turn off your computer. Then as soon as you press the power button to turn it back on, repeatedly tap the ESC button multiple times until there'll be options on the screen.  Select the one that says BIOS/UEFI.  Then within the User Interface, look around for a setting that will have CPU speed adjustment settings.

Keywords:  OVERCLOCK.  CPU SPEED. CLOCK SPEED. PROCESSOR SETTINGS. )

clean your heat sink and remove the fan curve, let your cpu run on auto... 

if else try clearing your cmos. 

 

may we know what mobos are involve  here? before and after mobos. thanks

Fixed it, installed one more 120mm fan and replaced the thermal paste with a higher quality one.
