AMD FX8370 always running at full speed

Go to solution Solved by faby0202,

i reistalled Win10 and turned off turbo, it seems to have fixed itself

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

Okay, that should be fine, shouldnt be an issue with it running at 100% speed either as its not at 100% util. Do you have the stock cooler on it just? And how long ago did you change the thermal paste on it?

i have this setup since 2020, while i know the cooler is probably not good enough, it did not overheat until 2022
