125w cpu on a 95w board

Go to solution Solved by Jurrunio,

Dont waste money on Bulldozer stuff, just undervolt the CPU if not disable cores. Your problem is that the board can't deliver enough power to the CPU without overheating.

yo so I recently upgraded to a fx 8350 but the thing is I didn't research anything about my mobo and it turns out my msi 760gm-p34(fx) does not support this cpu. Before I found out about this I've been gaming on it for around 2 days and it has been throttling me down to 1.4mhz every in game every now and then. I think something on the board is making it throttle since my cpu only gets to 57C, I'm planning on getting a new mobo.

 

Should I stop gaming on it until then? is there anything I can do to make it work on my current set up like buy some hearsinks for the vrm or underclock my cpu? and is there a chance that I damaged my cpu while gaming on it?

I think these are 2 good options i'm not planning on overclocking but if anyone knows of better mobos or if these are bad choices lemme know I might be able to get a good deal on cyber monday or black friday.

In the BIOS, can you disable two cores? Should do the trick 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

I have to ask... Why an FX-8350? I avoided these chips like the plague when they came out nearly 10 years ago, and I'm sure they've only gotten worse with age? If you're looking for something cheap, why not go with Ryzen? Zen and Zen+ are a bargain right now and will perform orders of magnitude better than bulldozer.

It depends on the use of the processor. The instructions per clock are terrible on FX stuff, but they've been redeemed (slightly) with newer software that will utilize multiple cores. I have one running in an architectural workstation at my office, the software will utilize several of the cores in intensive building modelling tasks, so it works. Granted, if I were building a system from scratch it wouldn't have been my choice, but it was a older computer with a 990 board and a worthless Phenom X4 945 that was acquired cheaply. A low-buck upgrade to get it working again.

 

My brother still games on an FX-8350, it does alright for medium settings @ 1080p with an RX 480. He wanted a cheap setup and FX was certainly that a few years ago.

My Current Setup:

AMD Ryzen 5900X

Kingston HyperX Fury 3200mhz 2x16GB

MSI B450 Gaming Plus

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

WD 5400RPM 2TB

EVGA G3 750W

Corsair Carbide 300R

Arctic Fans 140mm x4 120mm x 1

yeah I got it dirt cheap but to be honest if I knew that I needed to upgrade my mobo for it I would of gone with a ryzen 5 2600 since it would have costed around the same with all the new ram and mobo
